You have to sell off every watch but one, what are you keeping?

You get to pick one watch you've never owned and it's yours free but you can never sell it - what are you picking?

(always wanted to try out the BOLD, italics and underline tabs)

The two I bought 20 years ago when all I had was a Swiss Army watch and some Gruen bumpers. They were cheap old
watches at the time and I had a little pocket cash.

Easy, my Dad's GMT
There were only two rules... 馃憥

This is easy for me as well because I only have a handful of watches and the only value of most of them is sentimental. I'll keep the Speedy Pro and take one Patek 2499 please.
Edit: Adding picture for necessary eye candy.

You're supposed to pick a watch you've never owned before for the second pick.

For me I'll keep my AP skeleton perpetual calendar, and I'll take a Patek Philippe Ref 2499 (third or fourth series), the best perpetual calendar/chronograph PP has ever made.

This Patek is killing. I thought I'm done with Pateks.. I'll keep my Reverso TT 1931 and will have your Patek 2499 and quit all watch fora for good.馃榿

So someone will finally get that box of Bulova's?

I keep my Speedy.

Too many choices for the second. I do like the Snoopy/speedy (but I am keeping my DON) While I would like a Margetts Astronomical, such a watch would not be too practical. I have been wanting a fourth Heuer. (But the rules state I would have to get rid of the Valjoux 72 Heuer.)

Not quite sure then what the point is. Cause I doubt if I could ever just have two watches. Watches are best acquired in groups of 3.
