What’s your Favourite Watch of all Time?

In the late seventies an aunt of my father's visited from America. She brought with her a Timex for a kid she'd never met. That summer I learned to read the time on that watch, and wore it for my Communion.

It's long gone now, but you never forget your first.

I don’t have a single favorite, but here are a few that always bring a smile to my face.

Hmmm . . . Do you think that strategy would work with your black-dialed, gold hardware, single crown super compressor Lemania?

That's a beautiful art deco case. I have a similar one, love the hands!!!!There's nothing like an heirloom. My dad's gold Hamilton tank from the 40's is on my never sell list.

Some great watches posted! Personally, I have no favorite watch. A top 5-10 maybe. Variety is a major part of the reason I enjoy this hobby. Dive watch one day, dress watch the next, pilot watch the following, etc....
