Would you rather

A thought exercise. Yes we all have collections but what if we could have one watch? What would you value more if the opportunity came around where you could choose? โŒš๏ธor ๐ŸŒŽ (And yes substitute grail for yours, and whatever the (non Grand) Seiko model would be for you)

@Timely_Moments

@Deeperblue - thought of this after reading your โ€œdeinfluencerโ€ post ๐Ÿค™๐Ÿผ

ยท

Something about wearing a triple-axis tourbillon to me while doing the mundane seems lovely.

ยท

Oh my days, no contest!

Travel the world!

I would very happily be a globe trotter sporting a Daniel Wellington.

Am I going to get kicked out of the collectors club now? ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

ยท

Give a Seiko 5 GMT and I'm back to Japan!

ยท

Replace Seiko with another brand like Casio, Timex, etc., and I'm in for that... I'd rather sit at home than wear a Seiko.

ยท

Not much of a choice. Iโ€™d travel and draw a watch on my wrist if that was the deal.

ยท

Travel...no question. on a good trip you usually don't really care what time it is anyway.

ยท

Travel is exhausting and I have seen those parts of the world I wanted to.

I would pick the watch, no question. In fact, watch or no watch, I prefer being over some foreign place across the globe.

ยท

The world is too big and too beautiful for me to ever want to trade it for any watch.

ยท

The Seiko would become special as it accompanied me on all my journeys.

ยท

I go to Mรฉxico once a year for 6 weeks , ususally spend 7 k plus 3 k in tickets , i live in Argentina . Done that trip since 1996. So how many watches do you think i own worth 10k(0ne trip) or 270k( total trips) ? 0

There is no way You have had a decent Argentine asado.

I might be tempted to stay put if the place had good enough curry.

I dream of going to Argentina one day. Absolutely on my list โค

No, indeed I did not. I had better ๐Ÿ˜œ and for that I had wake up at 4 in the morning to take animals to the vet before helping slaughter them in my grandparents' garden. We have no chilled rooms so it must be done during winter for it not to go bad and attract flies.

As such, I earned my barbecue these days ๐Ÿ– ๐Ÿฅฉ in a very literal sense and when you earn something, food or otherwise, it is the tastiest (plus having fed the animals ourselves we know the meats are good quality ๐Ÿ˜„).

To be fair though, I have a few friends from there and the South Americans make very good barbecues ๐Ÿ‘Œ even with inferior meat from Western Europe

ยท

Weโ€™ll guys I guess Iโ€™ll be getting that $5,000 dollar seiko and traveling the world to boot!

ยท

How old am I in this scenario? Can I add a "Grand" in there? lol

ยท

I actually don't like the whole process of going anywhere, but I'd go with the travel option and Seiko option. A cool diver is theoretically all the watch i need.

ยท

Hmmm... I'd probably go for something harder wearing... Like a Willard, but a slightly blingy version ๐Ÿ˜

Right on๐Ÿค™๐Ÿผ which dial and where would be your first location?

I have a white one. I would take it to Mexico to swim with whale sharks

Grail and staying put.

If conflict and a dictatorship rises up in my little paradise would moving be considered travel?

ยท

Lucky my grail has seiko on the dial ๐ŸŒธ

My Captain Williard and I are going to have a lot of fun doing what watches were meant to do, exploring the world ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Rock on!

ยท

Give me the Seiko. ANYWHERE BUT HERE

ยท

I guess my grail right now is the omega speedmaster sapphire sandwich. But if having that means I canโ€™t visit family and go other places, Iโ€™ll stick with my Seiko SSK001.

ยท

Iโ€™ve basically travelled and spent time in over 30 countries so Iโ€™ll take the Lange. ๐Ÿ˜‚

ยท

Travel the world with a single Seiko, it's not even a debate for me. Would I love to have my grail watch/watches? Absolutely, who wouldn't right? For me, I've got a small very humble collection and I cherish what the watches mean to me emotionally and what I've experienced with the watch than the blue book financial value of the watch. Plus, I've already got my Seiko SPB183 Willard that has travelled many places with me from Singapore, Hong Kong, Los Angeles, Bangkok & hopefully even more places!
