    If you could only own one watch (but not Rolex, AP, PP, seiko, Casio, nomos, Corum...

    Omega, breitling, bremont, bell and Ross, iwc) which one would you choose?

    Note being TZ the watch has to be an investment piece, so must be guaranteed to go up in value.

    I’d be really really interested in your thoughts ...

    Grand Seiko limited edition eg Peacock. Or a Credor.

    Good thinking, I want to know what the one watch Corum and Bell&Ross guys choose if they cannot have those!

    Not this got to be something else

    Given the prohibitions, surely the obvious answer is a VC? Or perhaps a Lorus? Some great Cartieresque Loruses around sixty quid.

    Vacheron Cornes Des Vache would do nicely. Perhaps even the Hodinkee limited edition to really annoy some...

    I think it’s also running a bit fast.

    Something vulgar glod and jewel encrusted from Hublot possibly.
    VC is, as said before, the obvious one from the missing big 3 that would probably be some limited edition tourbillon thing.
    If funds are available then a smith or a daniels will almost certainly never fall in value.
    The Bvlgari octo finisiom tourbillon is another that would probably be unlikely to fall in value over the long term.

    If however I had that kind of money to invest I'd avoid watches anyway.

    What's the point of running slowly? sorry the effect would not look right at normal speed.

    A breguet of some sort - perhaps one of their finer complications - with alarm.

    With that criteria I would quite fancy an Eichi 2. Come to think of it, with any criteria I would want one.

    Many of us are probably posting a watch we are lusting over, or our current favourite purchase, but I think it would have to be the Grand Seiko Spring Drive GMT Chronograph SBGC003 for me. Amazing quality, near perfect timekeeping and a dial that really catches the essence of GS' simpler designs and takes it to the next level. A totally mesmerising watch.
