Hey, everyone!  I'm still around, just busy.  I gotta get to bed soon, so I can get to work early tomorrow.

Anyway, here's one watch I will never sell.  Poljot Ocean 3133 chrono.  I got mine back when they were selling for $180.00, and I wouldn't sell it for $400.00, or at all.



I really like the dial with the dark blue hourglass around the subdials, and the cool jet fighter second hand.



The case is nice and solid, and beautifully finished for an inexpensive watch.



Nice detail on the subdials



The case back is one of the coolest I have.  WAY better than a glass back, in my opinion.



The Hadley-Roma Breitling style bracelet makes the perfect attachment.

Just off-hand, I would say there are at least 4 watches I would never sell.

1) Brietling 18k & SS Windrider Chonomat (no pic - blue dial w/gold subdials): Gift from wife.

2) Seiko SNA281: Gift from wife.

3) Rolex 18k & SS GMT MAster II: promised to son.

4) Glycine Airman: with me on 2 tours in Vietnam...promised to other son.

Great question and great watches on display.

I have to follow Ken's lead an go beyond one although the question only asks for one... sorry!!

I could never part with my orange core:

DOXA 750T Pro COSC



VIXA Nettuno Sea Power Auto



BROADARROW PRS-11 Auto



ORSA Sea Angler Orangina




Having said that, I would have to add that every watch I have has some sentimental value attached to it as I am a sensitive individual...

I guess this is the one I would never sell.  It's a solid gold 1948 Hamilton "Barton" equipped with Hamilton's high-grade ca. 982 "Medallion" 19-jewel movement.  The dial was recently refinished to its original appearance.  There are no dents, dings, or inscriptions, only very light scratches typical of a well cared for 60 year old watch.  I found the strap after I bought the watch - - amazingly it is a NOS Hamilton strap.

The Elgin pocket watch that my Mother gave my Father right after they were married in 1942. I had it restored a couple of years ago.
