Down to one

Over the past year I have been trying to discover my one watch. The one that will stop me from endlessly searching for the next. I have finally found it. Thanks to a lot of help from TRF.

Congrats. I sometimes wonder if I should or could go down to just one.

You definitely picked a good one to be your one and only.

I did the same this year except my one and only is an Explorer. Congrats on decluttering your life a little bit, and and enjoy that thing - it’s pretty sweet and checks all the GADA boxes.

If it's going to be just one, it may as well be a great one like that. Congrats!

That is the perfect one watch and last forever. I am thinking about downsizing my collection to 2 watch:
Option 1: stainless bezel Daytona and ceramic bezel Daytona both white
Option 2: stainless bezel Daytona and yellow gold DD (more expensive option)
Personally I love Daytona.

My AD has the gold bezel Daytona on display. It is stunning.

If you must have a one and only, that is certainly an impeccable choice. Enjoy!

Nothing more liberating than having one watch.

I know! I went through this with my canoes. I had eight at one point. I've been a able to hold at two for a while now. Hopefully I can do the same here. The problem is passing my AD on the way to work everyday. And their huge billboard.

I’m there with the DSSD. I keep wearing it more, and the others less. Silly to have a bunch just sitting and not wearing them.
