If you had to wear one watch only for the rest of your life, what would it be?
(Needs to be in your collection now)

That is a really tough question. And I think I still don't have an answer for that:)

I guess if I could only keep one of the watches I have now it would be the Submariner. It was given to me by my grandfather. Of course then I would have to shell out the cash to get it serviced and repaired. It hasn't ran good for a couple years. It hasn't been serviced in the 27 years I have had it.

Of my running watches it would probably have to be my Doxa Sub 750T. My Ocean7 LM-1 LE is my favorite watch but the Doxa is more versatile as it will dress up a lot better than the LM-1. I don't know why people ask these questions. It is impossible to give an answer with just one watch.

Any of my COSC certified watches.  It must also have a bracelet that is 20 or 22mm for easy strap change over.  More than likely would not be a Chrono due to the extra complications having more of a risk of breaking and complicated service on the watch.

I would go with this one.

Tough one indeed...  the real answer is one that will be in the collection in the not too distant future I hope.  However choosing from the current crew:

I chose this over my favorite watch, a DOXA 750 Military, because it's stainless, has a GMT function, and can be worn with formal or informal clothing.

Well, I have to give two answers too.  I couldn't make this decision unless and until I'm actually faced with it.  First choice would be my original Rolex Tudor 7928 Sub that was issued to me in 1963 while I was in the Air Force.  It's the rare pointed crown guard version with the gilt gold dial.  If not that one, then my Omega Seamaster Pro 2455.50 Two Tone.  Here they are:

My initial instinct is my Doxa T-Graph Pro, because I like a watch with pazzaz, I enjoy wearing that one now, in the summer, and I love big heavy watches.  But Orange is not a "one watch" kind of colour.   Also a solid choice is my Ball Alligator, but again, big and heavy.   Love it now, but not sure about 20 years from now.  Then there is the U1, very cool, but kinda wild and unique, so maybe not.

So I'd have to say the winner as my ONE WATCH FOR LIFE is my Sinn 103 St Sa Ar!!  It has a chrono, which I love, anti-magnetic which is great for longevity and accuracy, sapphire, not too big, not too small, chunky without being obese, classic look, solid bracelet, bezel for timing, could just be the perfect watch for me 20 years from now.

For sure! With the exception of Tom's closing call pick-up, I wouldn't kick any one of them out of bed, as they say.;)

Probably my Breitling Seawolf Avenger, durable yet a classy hunk of steel.

I'm late to this game. Just got back from a long weekend in the Thousand Islands region.

If only one watch....I'd have to go with the Doxa 600T-Graph Sharky.
