All, for some interesting reasons, I will be away from home for the next 3 months. I can take 3 watches from my collection. At least one should be a Rolex. I will be in the field, in the office, and (of course!) working from home. If you could only choose 3 from below...which would they be and why?

peterpl · 29 August 2020, 09:48 AM

Plat DD40
Speedy
Pepsi GMT

JSolution · 29 August 2020, 09:56 AM

Skx007,
The Lange dress watch (not familiar with references)
And the platinum Daydate

I would actually take the skx007 as a fourth personally, I rotate my watches a lot and this one doesn’t leave rotation it gets worn a lot.

henrylee · 29 August 2020, 10:06 AM

G shock
Pepsi
Lange

Santiago32 · 29 August 2020, 10:46 AM

Pepsi GMT
ALS
And the GShock because everyone needs a beater

I'd bring just the SKX009 unless additional "presence" is required

Pw92676 · 29 August 2020, 11:03 AM

You’re impressive collection makes this a very difficult choice.

I’d go Explorer, Speedy and any of the GS.

Anestheticsaregood · 29 August 2020, 12:32 PM

16710, day date, choose one of your beaters

AF_Rob · 29 August 2020, 12:54 PM

SKX 009, Pepsi, DJ.

You're going to be working from home while away from home for three months?

I would take the GS, the SKX, and the 15270.

Rollieo · 29 August 2020, 01:08 PM

Give it looks like you clearly love dress watches with leather straps - I’d go with one Rolex on bracelet that is more sporty and two dress watches with leather straps. Of the two dress watches with leather strap, one I’d pick higher end so you don’t miss it, and one I’d pick for the usual days.

So with that said:

- For Rolex: Pepsi (even though it’s white gold, no one will know unless they’re a WIS). I wouldn’t go with the SD cause those are too thick to wear all the time

- Patek

- GS (or Speedmaster or explorer)

Good clarification...working at a corporate apartment (temporary home) on the other side of the planet from my house (and real home) in the USA... :)

WG GMT, G-Shock, and 5327J.

TriaXenginE · 30 August 2020, 02:31 AM

Lange 1 moon
Explorer
Speedy

Golden Ellipse · 30 August 2020, 03:52 AM

Thanks everybody!

Some have said “take the Lange” or “take the Patek,” so for info,

There are two Langes: a Lange 1 and a 1815 up/down.
There are two Patek: a 3940j and a 5940g. Also not shown is a 5320g.
There three GS: a and SBGY003, SBGJ219 and a SBGW231
There are two “Pepsi”: 16710 and 126719

My work takes me from the remote, dirty and dusty front lines of industry, to high-level meetings with senior officials in public and private institutions. And of course...a million Zoom and Skype calls :)

HogwldFLTR · 30 August 2020, 04:16 AM

You'll know when it's time to leave as you won't be able to leave the ones you want behind. I'd not ask strangers to make such a personal decision for you. Nice collection! Bon voyage!!!

chloebear · 20 April 2021, 02:46 PM

You have my two favorite Grand Seiko's! The SBGW231 and the SBGJ219. I just saw the SBGJ219 in person and my brother and I were both mesmerized. Nicely done.

I'd go:

Pepsi
Patek 5940g
Grand Seiko SBGW231

In fact that would be a stunning collection!

Gab27 · 21 April 2021, 12:27 AM

So what did you wind up taking?

Thuilln · 21 April 2021, 12:51 AM

Exp II
Reverso
G-Shock

brandrea · 21 April 2021, 01:36 AM

Diver, GMT, DD

vesnyder · 21 April 2021, 01:54 AM

Great collection! Tough choice. Let us know what you decide.

Nice thread revival. OP, which three did you bring in the end?

iTreelex · 21 April 2021, 02:21 AM

I hope OP took the pepsi, SD, and explorer. Why wouldn't you take all 3 Rolex

Krash · 21 April 2021, 08:32 AM

I noticed this is an old thread, but based on him traveling, working in the office and in the field, I would have taken the white dial ALS 1815 up / down, the modern GMT Pepsi, the and G Shock.
