The next one needs to be a keeper, let's see your keepers that will never be sold

[Odo]

These are the two that started the madness :)

They are also the two that won't be going anywhere!





But I'll swap them for the YM if you ask nicely :)

[golf]

Don't think I will ever sell this one!

[sfglenrock]

Two of my favorites and would be difficult to replace. Keepers...

[Foxy100]

Some of mine. The wedding watch I bought myself:



My 40th birthday present (to myself):



Autavia 2446c



UFO:



I'd like to think that these two are going to stay:

[Kamakazie!]

I think most of my current collection are 'keepers'.

Four definites......

Dapper, seen this twice now & really like it.
What is it?

Would be a toss up between my 7021 Tudor snowflake or the Seadweller

If push came to shove, the Snowflake would stay due to the relative scarcity.

[Captainhowdy]

This one will be hard to part with.

[Dapper]

Dapper, seen this twice now & really like it.
What is it?

It's a custom build. 47mm case with Kemmner dial & hands.

[SeanST150]

[sfglenrock]

Thats special, mod number please?

Tudor Monte Carlo model number 7159 from '72.

[jrpippen]

The Gmt is not going anywhere.

[The Doc]

Bought this when I passed my last exam at the age of 35, being doing exams for 23 years, wear it every day, gonna give it to my son when I can't wear it anymore

Crappy picture, so here's a nicer one ( :) )

[learningtofly]

... I hope so anyway . I think I've got around 8 or so , Although I only ever wear one of them

What are they, Dave-O, and which do you wear?

[HappyJack]

I've reviewed a few watches here, and they were good uns, but have now gone. That's one reason why I don't want to do a review of this one and I've not taken many pictures, either - lest it departs, too...(mind you there are a few other tasty Lemania 5100 type chronos up above, too!)

[11erv]

No apologies for posting this one again.



I can't see much reason to ever part with either of these except to raise money to eat!

That Cosmonaute is a stunner...

[odgreen]

321 from 1967.
This was dad's daily wearer over 30 years. I HAD to get it and traded it to my SMP when he started to think to sell it. (One fellow offered 500 euros and he almost sold it...and I was too scary to wait next attempt.)

So, I repaired it. (YES, It was daily wearer and looked like it had gone thru nuclear blast or something...) And hope to keep it in good condition to give it someday to my son who is currently 7 years and shows some promising signs of WISdom.

My MKII watches are my "keepers."

[brownip]

This will always be treasured



WIS points zero, £ value next to nothing, sentimental value immeasurable.

Of those I've acquired since starting to collect watches a few years ago this 105.012-66.


WIS points slightly higher (if a bit cliched) £value a bit more, sentimental value also immeasurable.

I enjoy my little collection, but in common with the sentiments expressed by others on this thread, when push comes to shove the only things worth keeping are the ones with the deepest associations with the people that matter most.

Cheers
