I’d argue that by definition, you need more than one to be a collection.

But if I had to go only one watch for the rest of time, I’d go Moonwatch. Classic, not outrageously priced, can be dressed up or down. One of the most versatile watches in the price range without being flashy.

Yeah solid watch. I have an skx007 still but if you don’t have something like that I’d def pick it up

IMO, I’d want a one-watch collection to be pretty versatile - decent WR, able to work with a t shirt or a suit. For me, that means a sports watch on a bracelet. Obviously there’s no best watch so here are some to consider:

- Rolex 16570 or 16600 (used - discontinued)
- Rolex Explorer 124270
- Omega Aqua Terra
- Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Bathyscape 43mm
- Omega Seamaster 300 (not 300M)
- GO SeaQ (43 if you can pull off the size, 40 if not)
- Zenith Defy Skyline
- Cartier Santos Medium
- Omega Globemaster
- JLC Polaris or Polaris Date

I mean it’s got the same rating as a longines (5 stars) and real abalone on the dial. It might also be the same watch Russell Crowe wore in gladiator

I have a few, but putting aside sentimental value, the Explorer 1 can go anywhere. Goes great with a suit and a swimsuit. By far my most versatile.

I’ve always bought my Rolexs from an AD. Here is my debate which I keep flip flopping on. I want the new sub with green bezel (Kermit), AD says very very very slim shot I’ll ever be able to get one through him, he has 100+ customers asking the same question. Is it worth it to go verified secondary and pay the premium to get it. One day I think it is, the next I can’t bring myself to pay over list. Never paid over list for any of my Rolexs, APs or PPs. To secondary or to not secondary?

Picked up a 114060 Sub from an AD in TX. Been hunting one for a long time. Once went into an AD in my hometown, and left after the rep and I talked about me possibly wanting something else. Got a phone call 5 minutes later from the rep, who said I could have a Date/Cyclops sub that was hidden in the back, since I obviously wasn’t trying to re-sell. Passed on it. Been passionate about this model for a minute. Happy hunting :)

Hey - looking for a small Titanium watch. Best case would be a GS Snowflake in 38mm. Any ideas? So far I only found the Omega Aqua Terra special edition but it’s quite thick which I don’t like. Budget would be somewhere in the 8-10k range. Thanks for any recommendations.
