For me it’s my Longines Flagship Automatic. Got it for my 21st birthday and I consider this as my first “proper” watch. The only watch I have owned that I would never even consider moving on. I will enjoy this for another 10 years and las it on to my son for his 18th

I just can't stop wearing this one. Comfortable, light, legible - it's perfect.
Only just purchased this.. but I usually know within 24 hours whether I love them.. hence the amount of flipping ive done!!
But this on a milanese or now on the Nato straps is my love today!!
With any luck it will become the one and save me from spending again and again!!

It's too shiny, it's too orange, it has no class, it isn't reliable enough, it's a magnet for scratches, but my favourite watch is this piece of junk.
In fact, ask me again tomorrow and it'll be something else, but it's the Monster right now.
I don't have a picture but my "keeper" is my bog standard Speedmaster on a GasGasBones SPV1 strap. Simple, efficient, cool.

It always comes back to this for some reason; odd because I don't particularly like Daytonas. But the dial really works...

For me it's my Nimbus Grey Halios Seaforth. It ticks all of the boxes for me.

I will never sell this one.
So difficult to choose, but probably this 1945 British Army issued Longines WWW
That’s a stunner.
This is where it all started years ago! I'll never sell this one I love it and still enjoy wearing it too👍
Unflippable.
Errrrr, nope - just can’t do it....
Out of 16 watches owned, even if I discount my Skyland Avenger because I think I’m going to have to sell it, I’m still left with 5 watches that I absolutely love...
So that’s a fail from me, I’m afraid...

It would be this, it was the first 'proper' watch that got me into watch collecting/hobby.
Seadweller for me it’s perfect for 99% of the time the issue is the other 1% of the time needs so many other watches to fill that tiny void lol
Had this 5 years in January and it's not even come close to being sold.
This will be the last watch i ever sell.It just suits my lifestyle of many sunny holidays and for a Rolex usually flies under the radar.

I gave this to my wife. She loves it. Yeah, it's "my" watch too.
Always fancied one of these and had to borrow an extra £100 from a pal to make it mine, ( about 20%of the asking price back then) didn't feature the NATO type strap tho' .
I don't wear it often but it would be the last one I would part with...
Newest arrival and most excited since I first started this crazy obsession.

Thank You.
No one who looks regularly at the Friday threads will be surprised at my posting this watch on this thread.
When I was twenty I asked my mum, totally out of the blue, for an old wind up watch. The watch she got me I still have, and was nothing like what I had been mentally picturing. What I had imagining was basically this, so when I got into watches five years ago, this photo was totally irresistible:
At 42mm it's somewhere between 2 and 8 millimetres too big, depending on your perspective, but my love for it makes that detail as nothing. If anything, it's singlehandedly altered my taste: 34-36mm used to be my preference; now it's 40-42mm.
The quality for the price, I have since learnt, is almost absurdly high. The dial texture is astonishingly subtle, the case lovingly shaped, and the strap far far superior to anything I've come across on similarly priced watches (or anything I've brought myself to pay for) A lovely little detail: they bothered to remove the date mechanism. Five years ago, a German AD gave me a 15% discount, and the pound was behaving very nicely against the euro, so I got it for £500. When I bought it, it was my first purchase over £100, so it felt very daring. Now, it feels like an absolute bargain.
The modern Nivrel have nothing to do with the old brand - a long established jewellers, they cheerfully admit that when they wanted to move into watches, they just bought an old defunct brand. However, they have attended to the old company's heritage, and my watch is based on this from about sixty years ago:

Its a CrafterBlue and IMO it makes the MM just so wearable, for me it is the perfect combination, love it :)

Got to be my LV, the first Rolex I bought brand new from an AD. Owned it since 2010.
Cheers.
Autavia 2446 tranny. My first vintage watch.

Not sure if this picture is visible I’m trying tapatalk - this is my Black Bay ETA red. I was looking for an omega 300 with sword hands, as I had some money to spend on a nice watch. I had never really heard of Tudor before, but the more I read and saw about this watch, I decided to get one without even seeing it in real life - it’s such a beauty !

Two, if I can...
A Stowa A dial gifted to me by my Grandfather which I adore and has really set the precedent for the rest of my collection.
And a Hanhart that I bought almost spur of the moment... There's just something about it! Currently on a @neptunestraps custom made re-creation of the original.
A watch Iove is one which I was only able to buy after an inheritance after my mother passed away. I wanted to get something really special to remember her by after receiving an unexpected final cheque from the estate. There were two or three watches in the running. The other was the Patek dual-time in rose and also JLC time-zone in rose gold.
I ended choosing a Patek Annual Calendar - I bought this in 2006 and still love it. It has bitter sweet feelings as I could not have ever bought it without my mother passing away. But I think she would have liked that it has only increased in value. And hopefully stays within the family.
I was only wearing it this weekend and it bought a smile to my face. Memories have faded, but not the reason why.

To me this is just about as perfect a watch as you can get.
This one is worn only a few times a year, but I love it.

I absolutely love this little thing. I have sentimental attachments to other watches, but this is the one that 'does it' for me.
This is my Broad Arrow that I purchased in 2004, which now resides on a Hirsch Camelgrain strap. The antique white paper finish dial with the blue details are sublime.
My sentiments exactly.. a lovely story and I can relate to it...

This one is very close to my heart, toolish on rubber, but quite dressy on the croc'.

Good luck everybody. Have a good one.
An old Gen 1 OQ, love the weight of the watch and how comfy it wears with the integrated bracelet. Tough, smart and casual what more could you want in a watch?
Very nice really like that.

My third favourite watch of all time, and my second favourite watch on tz. In the words of Elton John, I'm just a jealous guy.Unflippable.
