High Hope
路I hope this is the correct page to start in. I'm new to the site, if mods say it should be elsewhere so be it!
This is an interesting question IMO. I have several keepsakes I'd save, but which watch would I grab if I could just grab one? In perusing my modest collection of contemporary (1980-2016?) watches, which would I grab as I fled?
It only comes down to three, really:
Sweetheart's gift on my birthday. Damn I love this:
My reliable 20-year old daily, which I really like. Reliable as an anvil, and just as strong:
Or my most recent acquisition, which is a true classic tool watch:
Ya' know, it is really hard to choose.
Sadly, and apologies to all Speedies everywhere, but I might go for the IWC. It does everything I need: Tells time w/ accuracy, has a chrono function (great for cooking, which I enjoy,) and has a date. My mind is sometimes discordant, like when signing a check (what day is it? Actually, what year is it?) Well, day and date count too. I suppose I'll remember the Covid-19 epidemic of 2019...
So, which one, and why?
