If you could only keep one
Like many other people here I've often asked myself which watch I would keep if I had to let everything go and I keep going back to the searambler. Not too big, not too small, great water resistance. It keeps on looking better with every new scratch and has just enough historical relevance to keep things interesting while not being too precious or too common and being completely off the radar to this day despite the massive online coverage since the release of the 50th anniversary sub300 ten years ago. As much as I love my Casablanca, Drive, Sinn and pam25, I think the searambler would be the one.
What about you, which watch would you choose if you could only keep one?

That is, I start asking questions like, "Why only one?" Is it because I'm getting unexpectedly marooned on an island, Gilligan-style, and so I only have the watch I'm wearing? In that case I want my toughest and most reliable watch. Is it because I have t...
It gets easier with time
That's how I feel getting older but then I've never been a hoarder and I don't even consider myself a collector.

Since age 14 a dual timezone Rolex was the object of my (horological) affection. All those years of admiration of the GMT MASTER and then I tried this on. Even the sales representative was surprised I would choose this over a GMT 😊 ...
A great shot of a great watch
I wish they would reissue one closer to the original ex2
