The most $$$$ one I could find then sell it to buy more of the ones I love.

Theoretically, if they were all the same price I probably would still stick with my Daytona. However, those Zenith Tourbillion watches are a technological & engineering marvel.

If money was not an issue, my grail watch would be the PP 5970, a perpetual calendar, chronograph. However for practical purposes, a Rolex GMT IIc is the only one I need.

GMT IIc, though when I put on a few years I could imagine a Platinum old style Day Date doing it for me.

If I ever did get a Leopard, then I would hide it and never admit ever buying one!! Then once a day, run into my closet to wear it for 5 minutes!

It would either be a Glashuette Original Senator Meissen or possibly the Platinum DDII with blue dial.

Only one watch with no backup? A quartz model that can take a beating.
