My Speedmaster 2915-3 on a 7707/6 bracelet is right up there. It's not 100% correct but the pristine Base 1000 Bezel outshines any flaws.

This is Stunning! 👍 Would love to track one of these down at some point in my life.

This question comes up every so often. I probably give a different answer each time.

This go around I'm gonna say Ed White. Been wearing this one for last 6 days and I love it.

Like many others, I have a difficult time picking one favorite. However, given that the model line originally catalyzed my interest in vintage watch collecting over 20 years ago, and that I still hold the first two generations in the highest regard, I'd have to go with one of these...

This thread highlights the problem with watches in general and vintage watches in particular...... you can't post your one favorite.....

because we all have four or five favorites.....

or the last one bought is your favorite, until you buy another.... um, favorite......

Dammit!

here! I like this one too.....



and yes, it was my most recent purchase....

@STANDY Yes, though I recently sold it to an Austrian collector. Apparently it wasn't my favorite, though it was the most accurate watch I've ever owned, and a beauty.

For Zenith, probably my 135, though the 146hp would give it a tough fight! Both pictured below with a neglected captain turtle.

Poor, neglected turtle 🙁! Please allow me to give it the attention it deserves... , i.e., DIBS!

I screwed up, and while I was out of town, I missed out on a NOS one like yours when I tried using a free, highly recommended 'snipe' engine; but it didn't work 😵‍💫... stupid me, I should have at least put in a back-up bid... would have won it easily...:whipped:

Given to my Father by my Grandfather, lost in a box for almost 20 years. Luckily my mother who never throws anything away without out looking through it thoroughly, finds it in a box while moving.

This one always puts a smile on my face, I guess a good sign it's a favorite.

I am not able to decide. With a gun to my head I would say my Ed white..
