Like Abel and Stewart just said ....
I fully agree: Two pop to mind almost immediately.
But then .... Holy ****! Tough! Very tough.
Taken seriously, this consideration will need some thinking for a few days.
First thought was "Variety", second was "style"; and now I can spend this week with my head smokin',
neglecting necessary work and all these little things to be done. At least I'm holding my coffee while sitting here!
Curse! ... :-/ I will come up with something 'til the weekend ...
And we will see. :-)
I am, like Abel, looking forward to the statistics and results, wondering if the "expected all-time favorites" will win, or if we will see some "surprises" within the results/lists.
I call it: THREE WATCHES TO DIE WITH .
Oh boy ... :-)
Have a good week, TO ALL OF YOU.
BUT DON'T FORGET YOUR WIVES, CHILDREN, FAMILIES, PROFESSION, SOCIAL LIFE, SLEEPING, EATING, plus all other little things in need to be done !
Cheers to all of you aficionados around the globe ;-)

: A few weeks ago, I met a watch friend for lunch, and packed a
: briefcase with some watches, to take along. I posted a photo of
: the briefcase in a few spots, and showed the photo to a couple
: of friends. This photo evoked a question that we often get as
: watch collectors, “Which is your favorite?” or “If you
: could only keep one watch, which would it be?”

:

: It’s been some time since we had a scan day with a theme, so I
: thought that it might be interesting raise this question for our
: readers. But rather that suggesting that you name only one
: favorite watch, we will let you select three watches, as
: follows: You can have only three watches for the rest of your
: life. The watches must be in your collection now (or on a
: realistic short list for acquisition . . . so please do not name
: the dream watches that are not attainable, but it’s OK to name
: one that you expect to acquire in the near term) No need to
: consider investment potential or resale prices . . . let’s
: assume that you will be buried with the three watches; so no
: need to worry about what they may be worth at the end of your
: days.

:
:

: It seems to me that a collection of three watches should make the
: decision considerably easier than if you could keep only one
: watch. You might consider: three different styles – dress,
: sport and beater three different brands or models – Heuer,
: Omega and Rolex or Autavia, Carrera or Monaco three different
: complications – simple time-of-day watch, chronograph and a
: dive watch how about country of origin – Swiss, German and
: Japanese three different types of movements – manual-wind,
: automatic and quartz Of course, there’s no need to think of
: styles and categories – you can just think of the three
: watches that you really enjoy wearing.

:
:

: If you are so inclined, you can be tougher on yourself and narrow
: the field of three watches to only one watch. But no need to put
: yourself through this if it becomes traumatic. We will let you
: have three watches.
: Let’s start the Scan Weekend this Friday, November 15, and we can
: keep posting through Monday, November 18. Please use the subject
: line, “Three Watches to Wear Forever”, “Three Watches”
: or something similar.

: As always, we will keep it relaxed – post photos if you can, but
: photos are not essential. If you prefer some variation on our
: “rules”, that will be OK. If you don’t like the theme,
: then create your own – three favorite cities, buildings, TV
: shows, bands, cars or foods.

: We are looking forward to some interesting postings, starting on
: Friday, November 15th.

: Jeff
