Seiko MM300. As in the event of a Zombie Apocalypse, which this thread is no doubt about, and the only reason I would have only one watch. It can also be used to batter aforementioned Zombies around the head.

Given all the Rolex banter on OF, I'm a bit surprised this thread is starting to look like an ad for Rolex.😕
Why shouldn’t it be ? It’s one of the most iconic brands ever...
I had a really hard time not picking this one to be honest

No he beats people with it. Daily.

There are much more efficient tools for that, but it's a personal choice so okay.

Beater.

As in you wear it to the beach, when you're working on the car, when you're mowing the lawn, and during other potential damaging tasks?

Yes! @sdre
Guys, remember: it’s not “which watch would you take to a nuclear war”, just

If you had to get rid of all your watches and wanted to keep one last special one, to remember the others, but that you’d also be wearing every day.

Oh, and so maybe you’ll read this post, here’s a picture of my runner up


Big surprise

You have a runner up watch 😕 to your one watch thread where you want to know the one watch we would pick 🤦

Hey now, give the guy a break Andy. It's tough to come up with topics that are interesting and unique (Let's call them Trevor & Carol subjects). Instead, rehashing the ones that have been done thousands of times is much easier (Clevon subjects).

As noted, the premise of this thread is absurd. Won't happen.

The last one I would sell if I found my self in financial extremes (God Forbid and Knock On Wood) would be the one that my sainted mother gave to me.



That's assuming I could keep a pocket watch, too. The absolute last possession I would sell would be my grandfather's (not sainted, far from it) watch.

For me, there is only one that can fit the bill. My daily wearer and the only watch I would ever keep. For me, it’s perfect in every way.

I ♥️ this thread!

*** Any member who owns a ______________ (fill in Omega Speedmaster or Rolex of any type) because they _______________ (fill in inherited it as a family heirloom or were gifted it from a family member or significant other) is exempt from the rest of this post.

I've seen at least 15 Rolexes and 8 or 9 Speedmasters in this thread, which leads me to one conclusion: too many people follow the herd. Guess that's why it's a herd though, eh? Okay everyone, say it with me:

Baaaaa aaaaa aaaaaaah!




Damn. Four Rolexes in a row ON OMEGA FORUM!

Somebody wanna keep a UG, Longines, Seiko (god forbid) or maybe an Omega maybe?

The shame 🙁

Just remember that you started it. 😜


I am already one step ahead....

Dude.

You.are.my.hero.

He just gained a ton of points with me too! Nicely done VWZ. 👍

Munch my nuts, squirrel.

This would be the one. A brand new ‘first one ever’. Best of all worlds.

It isn’t old, it isn’t interesting and it isn’t rare.

But it is a no brainer.
