Also if it came to it I could use it to cave in a zombies head due to its size.
Fun question by the way
A bit of fun for a dull and wet Monday!!!!
Ok, so this is a bit of strange and wonderful question. But if I've learnt anything on here, I'm not alone at being a watch collector and having a love for many watches. I also know many of us wear an array of watches over the period of a week. So what if you were force to choose only one watch to survive a zombie apocalypse with, what would it be?
For me it would have to be my Rolex GMT Master II 116710LN. It is completely reliable (like most Rolexes). Readable at only a glance. Strong and robust. Automatic, so no chance of the battery running out. Water proof (I wouldn't expect more then 100m to be needed). And it has a date function. Last of all I trust it completely. It has never let me down.

Sea-Dweller!
Some sort of solar powered G-Shock type thing with as many features as possible.
Not sure if Bill Rice or Genesis Watchmaking are going to survive the zombie apocalypse to service your Rolex...

That's odd... I'm pretty sure my browser shows "tz-uk.com", but it somehow seems to have navigated to WUS instead.
Was thinking something similar only last night when watching The Walking Dead, which I've just discovered. You'd have the run of the ADs, "Walkers" permitting of course. So would probably pick up a Riseman and a BLNR or DSSD.
A Patek Nautilus.
They are so mind-numbingly ugly that all the zombies would run away from you in fear as soon as they saw it.
It's true! I agree! I want to like it because they are so desireable but in truth, they are quite boring.
I'm annoyed that I didn't formalise this opinion myself without having to have confirmation from someone else.
Speedy Pro for me.
Burn him!
12,000m Rolex Deepsea Challenge. Just in case you have to hide in the bathtub.
Great choice and reasoning. Totally agree with you on that one.
Though there are a few degree of emphasis between 'mind-numbingly ugly' - which is not a common view - and 'quite boring', which might command a little wider assent.
True, I've never seen an underwater zombie.
I'm going to watch a load of zombie movies to see what the surviving characters wear.
Exactly!
No they are awesome. I assume from your commnt above you will just assimilate the opinion of the last person to tell you how you feel?
I don't think you could do much better than a Speedmaster Pro (preferably a 50th Anniversary edition), or maybe a Seamaster "SHOM".
I challenge anyone to come up with a better watch for Zombie apocalypse than the GW5000.
Completely invincible, runs on some kid of micro arc reactor, lightweight. Just perfect
Anything mechanical will be almost impossible to see when you really need to hunker down underground
That's what I thought :)That's odd... I'm pretty sure my browser shows "tz-uk.com", but it somehow seems to have navigated to WUS instead.
...but what do I know; I don't even like watches!
That is quite niceNo they are awesome. I assume from your commnt above you will just assimilate the opinion of the last person to tell you how you feel?
I now agree with you, thank you for chiming in
Will Smith wore a Swiss Army Victorinox 25077 Sportech 4000 in I am Legend.

Gotta be any G-Shock with a compass really.
only one watch will do in this situation
The Seiko Arnie
Something with precious metal and many diamonds. They'll eventually have some trade value. I can tell the time with a stick.
Gray
I can tell the time with a stick...love it gary
as for trade Im sure there will be plenty of places for you no good types to loot for trade items
It's got to be large, strong and made of steel so you can use it as a knuckle duster in a desperate situations. Maybe an Oris of some sort?
My DateJust
No point worrying about scratching it when the world as we know it has ended.
Plus Rick Grimes in the Walking Dead seemed to do okay with a similar looking Kenneth Cole.
Give me one of those horrendous Invictas - I'll put it in an extra-long NATO and bam, a weapon.
G Shock on a NATO wrapped around a Sig AR would be my choice. To be honest the watch would also be the less important element of the two :-)
An auto seiko of some kind. Tuna or monster maybe, both serve the purpose of time telling and head knocking.
Yeah like the whole NATO strap idea. Didn't really give too much thought on the strap, but now I'm think definitely a NATO
This is the truth....

Check out the shark scene in Zombie Flesh Eaters...
Thinking about it more, Rolex is well known...only a Rolex will do when you're in a 'here, take my watch, it's worth something' situation, getting the family across a border for exampleMy DateJust

Outstanding! That will do for starters.
Like your thinking!!
Or Roger Moore's circular-saw-bezeled 5513 from Live and Let Die to cut through a border fence somewhere else.
If looking for something to tell the time and fight of Zombie's then surely a U-Boat watch would be appropriate given the size of them...
Great shout!! Sinn regularly state that they are indestructible.
No moving parts. Titanium. Solar power. Compass.
I mentioned that this was one of my favorite zombie movies to my son-in-law. He got huffy and explained to me that it wasn't a zombie movie, it was a mutant movie, and there's a definite difference. Facepalm.
That will be my Ploprof then!
Ok, got to be a solar/atomic G shock - and I'm thinking some kind of mudman so you don't get rotting zombie flesh stuck under the buttons. Might get a bit stinky - it may be an apocalypse bit I wouldn't do to let our personal hygiene standards slip (and my wife always comments how all the characters in the walking dead appear to have access to a local branch of Gap for nicely fitted t-shirts, vests, khakis and jeans)
Ha ha I would never have guessed there was a difference
This is a great shout or possibly a SuuntoNo moving parts. Titanium. Solar power. Compass.
Very true no one likes a stinky watch
I'm gonna say that's one ugly watch. Sorry to say so but it is.No they are awesome. I assume from your commnt above you will just assimilate the opinion of the last person to tell you how you feel?
SD.
No battery to worry about, should be good for at least 10 years without needing a service which is probably longer than I'd survive since I cba with cardio, trit so no lume glow to be spotted in the dark, and should have some swap value if needed.
Orrrrrr
solar g shock.
