    That’s beautiful (as are most Credors) but unfortunately I’m nowhere near smart enough to wear one of those every day.

    I’m more than happy with my 40mm Everest so much so that my 16710 and 16570 barely ever get worn these days.

    It’s definitely not about the money for me.

    It's not about the money for me either... I just think that this is the most beautiful, and most beautifully made watch and one that could easily be my one watch forever (except for a G-Shock for the beach)

    Watch the video I linked above and tell me it's not something special

    I think some members are mistaking this thread for - if you could have only one watch, what would it be?

    Money no object, either a Patek 5270 in platinum with a salmon dial or an F P Journe Chronographe Rattrapante in rose gold. If the question was if I only had one watch either my GS snowflake or a titanium square G Shock

    I would rather like Milton’s Milguass 1019. So understated and tasteful.

    If you could have any watch, what would it be?

    This hunk of madness.
    It`d be within range if i consolidate, and i`d be quite happy with just one premier piece until i peg it.

    I find this one quite beautiful.. I tried an earlier version on at DD''s last year... It really was quite something...

    You'd think they might have serviced it for him. Look at the state of it.

    That's the whole point of such a watch, the stories/history are in the damage and patina, new bezel and plexi would take away what this watch has been through.

    I know some good members here dont get old beat up Speedmasters or the space connection, but then some of us are just left cold by shiny new watches or service parts, I'll take a vintage any day.

    Looking at the production date on this watch its only 18 days younger than my 105.003..

    If I discount anything from the realm of fantasy, then I would like a watch for life, and something that is more personal than one of the major luxury brands. I would have one of these

    But I'd like the lume to be fresh Omega SuperLuminova, in the nice white/green colour it was when new, without tarnishing / patina on dial or hands. I want the case, bezel and insert to be new and fully water resistant. And if you would please fit it with the quickset hour hand 3185 movement out of the GMT II, it would be my perfect beater travel / recreation watch - more usable than any Submariner, better sized than my Seamaster Pro 2264 quartz nd less obviously a Rolex - in fact, a kind of Rolex auto version of the SMP.

    I’d go with a platinum GS, rose gold Yachtmaster, some ridiculous PP Chrono or a Lange.

    Probably the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Bathyschape Ltd Edition /Hodinkee
    Just 100 made but IMO its perfect if I had to reduce my collection down to one watch

    Tricky one, nothing posted really excites me that much.

    I'd be happy with Neil Armstrong or Buzz Aldrin's Speedmaster, but if we're talking about an example of a new, available model, I'd probably be really boring and get a simple 3 hander Blancpain Fifty Fathoms or a Zenith El Primero of some sort.

    Haute horology is all very nice, but other than getting it out to look at now and then I can't see me wearing many of them.

    ETA, actually I've just seen this video and now I'd have one of these!!!

    https://youtu.be/KQUiTus0tbM

    Zenith Defy El Primero 21 (so I haven't really changed my mind! )

    A watch winder would be essential for some of the choices here due to the complications eg. perpetual calendar. I want to own the watch not the other way round!
