If you could have only 2.8 watches, what 2.8 watches would they be?

    You have to explain why it's 2.8 watches...

    I happen to think 3.4 is a much better number of watches, but I forgot a few moments ago why I thought that...:(....:D

    Edit: just saw the above Olds Omega 2.8... is that the reason, @ulackfocus ?

    I would probably just keep two 40 mm watches and a 32 mm watch. That would be my 2.8.

    Easy-peasy. One Speedmaster.

    That alone is the equivalent of 2.8 watches!

    :D

    I’d go with this 2.8, I’d never have to worry about sourcing the correct crown, pushers, or choosing a strap that wouldnt make me look fat.

    This is Dennis proving this forum is becoming a train wreck, even if he has to be the one to wreck the train himself. In the end being right is what's important, don't you know...

    Don’t blame Dennis or the squirrel. All the forums I’ve been on somebody has to ask “if you only could have 1” question.
    If somebody could only have one they would not be on this forum
    Plus it clogs up the space for me to ask simpleton questions about watches

    Threads like this and the ones that it mocks are frustrating, but we have to coexist with those that know less about the hobby. Perhaps you should start an invitation-only forum of collectors who won’t talk about amateur stuff.

    Never work, serious collectors and watch experts would miss making fun of or browbeating people that purchase
    Redials or less than pristine vintage watches

    No, we wouldn't. Not one iota.

    Yes, absolutely Al. And as we all know, you're ALWAYS right. :rolleyes:

    Oh, don't forget to post this same accusation in Darlinboy's and Mad Dog's threads:

    When they have been moaning about the state of the forum and actively making posts like this for as long as you have, I will certainly consider it. But I doubt they will get there...
