If you could only have one... Forever!

Is there just one watch that would scratch you itch, conceivably forever?

Mine theoretically would be a YG Daytona, black face. But I really like watches that have roman numerals.

How many people stay married to one person and are happy forever? Your chances of being happy with the same watch forever may not even be that good.
Look at this forum, one usually doesnt do it nevermind forever, it is watch polyigemy here.

I don't think I'll ever be able to afford it but this is my ultimate grail.



Of course, I'm choosing this one knowing too well that Tom will lend me his Meteorite Daytona from times to times...

Just saying.

AP ROO Chrono 26170ST.OO.1000ST.01 My grail. I'm head over heels. If I'm really going out there a PP Minute Repeater or Tourbillion would be it but u can't wear as a daily watch. The AP is like the Sub but in another class.

Regardless of price? Perhaps an ALS Datograph?

One Rolex for life and all occasions? Rolex Submariner stainless steel.

But who are we kidding here??? ;-)

That's a SERIOUS precision instrument Carl... As for me as Uncle Ken states there can only be one. If I could this would be my daily until I am grey and old!

You would be better off sacrificing your left arm for an automatic watch. You know, with the winding and all
