Never is a long time

That said, I feel like it might be this one for me.

I have a feeling that other references from Rolex will continue to evolve and that may make the ones I own more susceptible to changing them out.

I can’t see Omega ever touching this one. They may put the 321 in a different case but I think this reference is destined to remain the same.

I can no longer make such a claim. I think my current count is three - three times I have said such a thing and none of those watches are with me any longer.

My dad’s watch. Others I have I can’t imagine selling either - like my own Patek’s that I’m more likely to wear. But those weren’t my dad’s watch.

Unfortunately I can’t say that I won’t sell my watches IF an IMPOSSIBLE offer appears.

10 million USD - everything goes tomorrow!

A decade long hunt for a birth year watch, so unlikely to ever leave the nest.

This was my first luxury watch purchase. It’s also the only one that survived the great purge of 2023.

Inheritance from my late uncle (my Godfather) which will go to my niece (I'm her Godparent) along with the Rolex original MOP dial/baguette markers it came with--until I swapped it for a Rolex champagne dial w/stick markers.

PS: I'd like her to enjoy it while I'm around--so I offered it her last year with the MOP dial and baguette markers--but she was fearful of wearing it due to the unfortunate theft going on everywhere.

My history tells me that even when I say I will not move a watch, I always do.

Must admit I gave it some thought last year, but came to my senses and added a jubilee instead.

I kind of have two, for me it would this my fathers Girard Perregaux that I rediscovered when I was settling his affairs its at least 60 odd years old still works. I find myself wearing this once or twice every holiday season. The other one would be the watch that I bought my dad with my first pay cheque which he wore as his GADA until the day he passed - that watch I passed on to my son, so lets see what he does with that.

My Gronefeld Principia, so long a wait, so amazing to look and appreciate the fantastic quality and finishing from the Holorlogic Brothers.. Front and back.

Post photo of the 1 watch you’d never sell

My Father’s 1977 6426 Oyster Precision Manual that he gave me last year. I had it restored, serviced, dial changed from Silver to a new Grey one with new hands and a 78350 bracelet put on it. I still have the original dial, hands and 7835 bracelet should any future generations want to reinstate them. Liked it so much I then found a cheap beat up 1970 6426 from Japan and had that restored as well but with a new Black dial and hands for my daily. I think I’m unlikely to even sell the black dial one but I will definitely never sell my Father’s one. The dial looks great in different lights - it’s hard to believe both pictures below are the same Grey Dialled watch.
