I know this is a Rolex forum but it would have to be my Omega Speed Master Pro. It was, and still is, my favorite watch.

My GMT IIc, it is just a simple master piece. Great watch. My Daytona may be going very soon though. I'm not loving it.

So far, there's nothing I wouldn't sell. I haven't grown sentimental attachment to any of my purchases, so it's easy if want to move on from something. Although I do regret selling a couple that are hard to get back.

My first the 16570-T Explorer II (The ring leader), I worked 3 jobs to buy it.

The emotional moments after I pulled the trigger, I kept repeating "I got it, can't be real" a thousand times.
It has never left my side and remains she will.

It just got back from RSC service looking like brand new (chamfers sharp and intact) with a new coronet 2.5x crystal, running at +2.5/24hrs and now sporting a new RubberB

In the safe she goes to hibernate for while.

I'll never sell my great grandfathers 1958 Hamilton retirement watch. I had it fully serviced and still wear it occasionally to this day

My great grandfathers omega, he received it after 25 years of service. It was passed down to my dad and now to me. I still have to get it serviced.
Also will never sell my 16610, first rolex bought after I proposed to my wife.
