A difficult decision, for sure
...but I'd probably have to go with this Seamaster. Tough as nails movement, ceramic bezel & dial (UV resistant, for all that sunshine), plenty water resistant with the benefit of a chronograph and rotating bezel. Plus, this color combination would remind me of home with the Red, White & Blue

WristScan July 26 - 28 starts now (end is July 28, 12:00 GMT). Theme is "A Robinsonade". I declare the island open!
Cast away for a couple of years like Robinson Crusoe, you and a single watch, your personal only watch. Which of your watches should be with you on the remote island? Come clean and tell us your considerations. Is it a tool watch which can stand all the c...
me think the same [nt]
Rolex Rolex Rolex and then Tudor, Panerai, Gshock, may ROO and Aquanaut/Nautilus
Great WS theme dear Brauner .
I would pick my LW . Great diver , gold to trade (if someone wants it 😉) and i still can hold one of my independent watches with me . ...
A mixture
A tool watch and gold for a return ticket if you have to buy one. But beware any natives. They might love the ethno pattern. And they have big cooking pots. 🍽️
Fantastic choice indeed...
I was actually expecting your SUF Vetehinen but this is certainly an equivalent 👍🏻👌🏻
On WristScan Island...
I would need my trusty Doxa, because it’s robust, reliable and an old friend. What more would a man need ...., apart from “Girl Friday” ...
Thanks Brauner...,
You should take a look, tremendous history in the world of diving.
Thanks Brauner for a great theme, nicely presented. For my two years alone on the island, it came down to an Aquanaut 5167 and a Deepsea, and I ultimately chose the 5167...
Very simple and versatile, sturdy enough if I misbehave and get chased by the natives, but most important of all...in two years from now, if I enjoyed my stay, I'll be able to sell it to the chiefs and buy the entire island with the proceeds... ...
I guess you’re going for the long run...
The rubber strap might wear down but the bracelet - never 😊 Great shots 👌🏻
The paper, beer and the toothpick (grateful to the crab for holding), are the important things but...
if we talk about watches my choice is the Seiko Astron Gps Solar. I will know the exact time and the date wherever my bones had landed. No more looking at the stick shadow and no more stone carving!! ...
Your choice is very modern and the Seiko meets all requirements
We call such things "eierlegende Wollmilchsau". Can't translate.
Well, there’s already some excellent suggestions...
...but there really is only one watch that ticks all the boxes; indeed, it could have been designed for just this situation. The Rolex Explorer 1016. This one’s my son’s (but he lets me wear and enjoy it). Perfect for a castaway. Tough and rugged, waterpr...
Nautilus 5711 or any simple variation 3700/3800
Fits the environment and love its slim case and look. Very reliable movement too ...
Thanks guys... aside from its price now
(I didn't buy it recently...thankfully), it's really an excellent watch.
Keeping it simple with a robust no-date tool watch
Will probably wear this new arrival from the microbrand Baltic - I think the blue gilt dial will match the charms of the blue sea! ...
A different but very interesting idea...
Seen a lot of them online lately. What’s your impression so far?
Thanks guys!
I like the Baltic Aquascaphe! The bracelet is comfortable, the watch nicely sized at 39mm, not too thick, and the blue dial is the right shade of blue. And I like the gilt dial. Overall, good value for money
Cala Liberotto, about 70 km south from Olbia
Very nice and calm beaches. A very good place to calm down and to relax. Definitely no party zone. My family and me are the third time this year in Sardinia and not for the last time. I know beaches all around the world (Caribic Sea, Australia, Hawaii, Af...
Fantastic piece! And definitely different...
I suppose their Fliegers are not made from Submarine steel but should be robust enough irrespective 👍🏻
Great Theme, great opening shot and great watch choice dear Brauner! Panerai will stand a two years solo island adventure I am sure.
I feel we will view a lot of interesting watches and shots this week end! I have not decided yet which watch to take with me for a two years in an isolated island. A challenging theme you have proposed! Will post some pictures later. Hagwe my friend and e...
Hello dear Brauner! Here is my choice of watch for a two year cast away experience in a deserted island. I wish ...
... I´ll have less trouble than Mr Robinson Crusoe, specially confronting pirates or cannibals! The ideal watch should be an automatic movement diving watch I feel. Diving watches are very sturdy built and will withstand activities in the sea and a hard t...
