My Sub C or any sub or sea dweller for that matter. Second would be my IWC Mark IV. I like simple iconic watches.

I can see why you would make that decision. It's a beauty.

I'm not sure which watch I would choose.

I do know it would be one of Kenneths.

Tough question. I was going to vote for the iconic sub-date 16610 but after thinking about it a bit, I vote for the black dial exp-II 16570 because it is iconic in its own right and quite a bit less common.

A very difficult decision as I'm somewhat of a serial watch wearer

But....... If I really was force to choose it would probably be my Blue Angel.... Even though I still find my GMTIIc the most useful watch in my collection.

And the reason.......

It's stylish enough to wear with a suit, cool enough to wear with jeans, has a wow factor to those that know but individual enough to get admiring glances from those that don't. Has a stealth factor that I just love and is wearable irrespective of the occasion................. An all round stunner with glamour and class........ and always nice to know you have a certain amount of readily realisable $'s on your wrist should you ever need to run for it.......no matter how unlikely that may be......

OK it is between my DSSD and GMTIIc. But if I had to go with only one it would have to be the GMTIIc because it is so handy traveling and I do that alot in my line of work.

PP Nautilus or a Breguet Skeleton

Oops forgot this is TRF

In truth would be happy on a Sub or a Daytona black and gold

For me it would be this one. Omega X-33. If I had only one watch, I would have to choose function over form. And this one just works. Quartz accuracy. Awesome lume and light. Multiple time zones and an 80 dB alarm. My Rolexes are just jewelry in comparison.

I seriously doubt I could ever pick just one watch to wear for the rest of my life. I have collector blood.

One of these four. Probably the Patek first, then the Sea Dweller, then the Datejust (love this photo), then the IWC. I own the Dweller and the IWC. Patek will never happen! Datejust is a classic.

In today's vintage crazed world that also loves big bulky bling I couldn't do just one dream watch, I need two.

1. A DRSD that I could dress down with a NATO or keep on an oyster.
2. A white gold YMII.

A Sea-Dweller (non deep-sea). Perfect blend of form and function.
