"What is your favorite owned watch?"

Is it acceptable to list watches that I used to own? Or is this space reserved for only time pieces currently in the stable?

Your thread, your rules.

My favourite watch is this Invicta. It gets bashed about, abused, immersed, paint dripped on, you name it, and keeps on telling the time accurately. Certainly not my most expensive, oldest, most storied, but definitely my favourite knockabout watch.

Beautiful watches one and all!

But I should have been more clear, I meant in our profile section where it says "What is your favorite owned watch?". Is it OK to list past watches or just ones that I currently own.

True, but I was looking for a ruling from one of the Admins, so I thought that this would be the appropriate category. I guess old watches would be OK. JJ thinks so...thanks guys.

In that case, my favourite vintage wrist watch is this 1917 Russian Moser.







My favourite pocket watch is more difficult to determine. I have my 1865 English hallmarked gold chain drive fusee









And I have my ~1940 Rolex British military pocket watch







To me, each is a favourite in it's own way. That's my passion for watches and my love of horology.
