Never is a long time

That said, I feel like it might be this one for me.

I have a feeling that other references from Rolex will continue to evolve and that may make the ones I own more susceptible to changing them out.

I can’t see Omega ever touching this one. They may put the 321 in a different case but I think this reference is destined to remain the same.

This was my first luxury watch purchase. It’s also the only one that survived the great purge of 2023.

I can no longer make such a claim. I think my current count is three - three times I have said such a thing and none of those watches are with me any longer.

My dad’s watch. Others I have I can’t imagine selling either - like my own Patek’s that I’m more likely to wear. But those weren’t my dad’s watch.

Unfortunately I can’t say that I won’t sell my watches IF an IMPOSSIBLE offer appears.

10 million USD - everything goes tomorrow!

A decade long hunt for a birth year watch, so unlikely to ever leave the nest.

Inheritance from my late uncle (my Godfather) which will go to my niece (I'm her Godparent) along with the Rolex original MOP dial/baguette markers it came with--until I swapped it for a Rolex champagne dial w/stick markers.

PS: I'd like her to enjoy it while I'm around--so I offered it her last year with the MOP dial and baguette markers--but she was fearful of wearing it due to the unfortunate theft going on everywhere.

My history tells me that even when I say I will not move a watch, I always do.

Must admit I gave it some thought last year, but came to my senses and added a jubilee instead.

Stunning piece, top of my list of grails and there's very few of my grails I don't have.

Thanks! Just glad I came to my senses before doing something I'd regret.

I kind of have two, for me it would this my fathers Girard Perregaux that I rediscovered when I was settling his affairs its at least 60 odd years old still works. I find myself wearing this once or twice every holiday season. The other one would be the watch that I bought my dad with my first pay cheque which he wore as his GADA until the day he passed - that watch I passed on to my son, so lets see what he does with that.
