Best watch you’ve ever owned?

[Metro]

Here’s mine.

[Kyle3130]

That one crossed my mind and it is extremely comfortable.

[Scottyboy]

I've had a few, probably a dozen Seiko, a couple of Tissot, 3 Omega, 4 Tudor and 6 Rolex. But the best watch I've ever owned and is still in my collection is a Girard Perregaux Laureato, it's a 42mm that wears like a 40, and just screams high horology, for a reasonable outlay. Never seen a better dial on a watch.

[raycover]

In terms of comfortability and coolness, I would go my 116718 Green dial anniversary GMT

[RichM]

For me, it’s this one.

[1William]

Just picked up a Rolex Submariner 124060 a few months ago. I started with a Submariner in the early 90's and have owned most of the models, in all of the metals, over the years. For fit, design, movement and overall wear it is the best for me.

Depends what you mean by 'best', I suppose. I have a Casio G-Shock that sets itself to atomic time every night, is charged by the sun, has dozens of time zones, a stopwatch, countdown timer, tells me the day and date, upcoming sunsets and sunrise times to the minute, altitude, air pressure and precise compass readings, with 200m water resistance, lightweight and can be dropped from great heights with no damage. I would take that mountaineering rather than my Rolex Explorer, but is it the best I ever owned? Hard to say no, really. But it's nowhere near my favourite.

Toss up between Smurf, 16710 or OP39 white. If I had to pick one to wear forever it’d be OP.

[superdog]

For me, RG Yacht Master. It is just a great watch. Can wear to any occasion. Sexy, clean, tough and super legible. Great WR, great lume. Super comfortable to wear.

I really cannot think of a better watch...for me.

It’s sort of a difficult question to answer for me.

I have a few nicer watches, but if I’m totally honest and consider the money/value vs. enjoyment/function proposition, I’d say it’s this one for me

Your pic isn't showing on my end for some reason, Brian, but I'm guessing it's the SKX009J1?

You know, I’ve always admired G-Shocks but I’ve never owned one.

IF I decide to add another watch this year, I think I’ll go this route

I have one that I bought in 1992 and it still works great. Let me know if you need any pointers later.

The BB GMT brings me more satisfaction than any watch I've ever owned. For me it's the best combination of design, function, & performance.

Still this one and Brian if we are talking money/value well I bought this for its original retail a decade ago so I can say it has done rather well for me... well if I had sold it a couple of years ago.

Beauty my friend, no doubt about it

Guess it'd has to go to the Bell&Ross BR03-92. First release (2007-ish), never been serviced, she's been though a handful of years of VERY HARD use on the racetrack / SCCA F2000 car seasons, and still works and keeps accurate time.

The Rolex SkyD Blue comes next, tho it may at some point surpass the B&R... yet it'll have to prove itself for another ~10 years to do so.

That’s a really great watch Steven, I’ve always admired them

[Maleg]

For durability, comfort, and the fact that 45 years later it still sings to me, I’ll go with the 5513.

[Ferdelious]

This one for me.

A most humble thanks Brian. Back then my PP dealer could not at all understand why i wanted a Bell&Ross. He truly was perplexed, it was far out of my norm at the time with PP 5035, 5110... 3970... his / hers Aquas...

Me? i LOVE the B&R aeroplane dial style, and while the BR03 was at the time still considered quite large, it was B&R's first 'smaller' version and so just had to have it. Plus it seemed to be a wonderful ETA-movement 'beater' for the track as she is VERY legible.

Ferrari calls their drivers 'Pilots', so the 'theme' holds true :)

Thx again, it really is a fun timepiece.

RM 67-02 I would have to say..

Absolute must have! I have two at the moment. One of them is older from 2009 and it was one of their higher end pieces at the time and the other is the cheap Casioak from last year. Great watches!

[GB-man]

This is my favorite watch.

[CPRWATCH]

Current favourite even though I don’t wear it everyday, it’s just a joy to wear & the dial is superb

[DJ TT 2002]

I’ve narrowed it down to 3

Me, too! It'll take something Presidential to de-throne the Smurf.

Best I've ever owned AND the one I have had the longest - Rolex 1987.5 16760 Fat Lady, have had her about 30 yrs - serviced once - it's the first and only one Id never sell, of any brand, including Patek. Though, the 39mm Explorer MkII is a close close second.
