What are the three must have watches for any collection?

[aksingh]

For me the three gens to have are one Rolex, Omega and Breitling. I have a Steelfish, am about to buy a Planet Ocean and next year will buy a Submariner.

 

[aardys]

a 1680 red
a 1680 white
and a 1680 for spares parts just in case
:biglaugh:

 

[If you see Kay]

A Rolex, an Omega, and a Pam. Any model from them. End of story.

(A Breit can be a fourth, but you asked for 3)

 

[Blitzgheist]

1. Omega Seamaster Chrono
2. Breitling Steelfish
3. Panerai 111

 

[jcglobal]

I would say Rolex Sub, Omega Seamaster, Panari 111.

 

[blackwood]

A Rolex Sub, any pam super rep and chose one from AP, or Omega or Breitling.. though personally i want to have JLC navy seal..

 

[DreambreaX]

1) Tag Heuer Carrera
2) Rolex sub/gmt
3) PAM 111

rep wise i would go with rolx breit and pam

a 1680 red
a 1680 white
and a 1680 for spares parts just in case

LOLLOLOL

A Rolex Sub, any pam super rep and chose one from AP, or Omega or Breitling.. though personally i want to have JLC navy seal..

1) Tag Heuer Carrera
2) Rolex sub/gmt
3) PAM 111

basically a sub has to be in it
timeless classic
pam is next- 111 because its sooo good
and then a breit depending on wrist size either the skylan avenger or the super avenger

this settles everything
sub for more important fancy events
pam for casual nice choice of straps as well
and the breit as a chrono
case closed bang bang
iggy solves another first wolrd problem

Hmmm 3 watches...

Gen:
Any 5513 or older Sub.
Speedy moon
Oyster Perpetual Date Silver/SS

Three reps:
Cartel 1675 Pepsi
Seamaster Professional
Rolex Oysterdate

TT Breitling Chronomat honorable mention

If you had a 4th spot for really dressy events, I'd grab a Cartier tank gen or JLC Reverso rep.

These are my gen "must have's" and I'm lucky enough to have them all.

And here is my "want to have" in Rep:thumbsup:

 

[ressmeplz]

The 3 best pieces of my collection are:
1 gen AP RO 14486st
2 gen JLC Reverso Duo Face
3 rep AP Diver 3.5

Actually I can't live without the first and the second

 

[wilson72]

Sports - Speedmaster Pro
Beater - G-Shock (screwback)
Dress - VC Chronometre Royal

Except that I'm not convinced that the VC is a standout choice compared to a PP or AP etc. So instead,

Spare Sports - Submariner
(yawn, but I can't deny it)

 

[smokiedabong]

1. Breitling SO
2. AP ROO
3. Pam Luminor

 

[fengpost]

Sports/Beater - Bremont MB II (one of the toughest watch I know)
Beater/Sports - Rolex Explorer I (love the new 39mm case)
Dress - 40 to 42 mm Pam (048 for me)

These ought to get you started!
