My Seiko Diver Quartz. My mum gave that watch to me since I attend primary school in the eighties. When I went to University in the nineties, she bought me a Tudor Hydranaut. I still wear both watches regularly and love those two watches more than my Pateks and Rolex. I am happy to sell any other watches in my possession if I need to. These two watches and a 1940s Omega Seamaster from my grandmother will be with me til I lost my last breath!!

My Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 2500, 45.5mm.

I've been through some pretty tough times with this watch, as well as plenty of good times, achieved many milestones and done some pretty cool stuff with this watch.

Also, recently I narrowly escaped death in a near-miss car accident wearing this watch, and since then, I have coined this as my 'Lucky watch'.

I will never, ever sell this watch. It is my little life companion. Literally.

I may have a few Rolex beauties and other watches, but none of these can ever match or replace this good 'ol trusty Planet Ocean's status and sentimental value in my life.

Probably my Oceanaut Acqua Mariner. I wore that watch every day for several years. I still wear it on occasion.

For me, 16 years with a DateJust, then moved to a TOG, then GMT, then Sub, then SD, then another five years with a GMT-C, and now the new Explorer II.

I would say may Seiko Kinetic pepsi bezel, bought for my 16th birthday by my Dad. He bought it me because he knew I wanted a Rolex but couldnt afford one. Its a special watch that I will keep for life.

I wore it solid for 9 years until I bought my first Rolex, a Datejust.

Hopefully it will be my 16713 from now until I croak!
