If I sold my entire watch collection I could afford a Tissot PRX 😂
Good for you,
@@michaelriera6277 Rude little man.
And I don't think you'll want to spend $800 on poor QC and rough finishing.
I would have to add at least £200, lol
@notgray88 then i think you should
I am fortunate to have a small but nice collection of watches. but I find I wear the Rolex Explorer 2 almost all the time and have recently arrived at the conclusion that I could easily just have this one for the rest of my life. It is astonishingly versatile - at home at the beach or with a suit - and is effectively a GMT and milgauss rolled into one! Its best value watch Rolex makes ... and that could just make it the best watch they make overall.
Totaly agree 👍
Would have to be the VC 222 for me
Good choice. Roger Smith openwork for me.
Amazing watch but the price on these are just blah.
@@ScotchOnyx I really like the Stainless Steel original one
Amazing choice.
Great choice for sure
All of these Out of my range , but I am happy with my Grand Seiko Omiwatari -it simply makes me happy to look at its gorgeous dial :)
I stand behind the Explorer II pick. After much contemplation, it's the one Rolex I went with for my collection. It's not too blingy. I can wear it with pretty much anything, and it doesn't stand out as a Rolex as much as some of their more luxurified models. I also like the bonus of rarely seeing one in the wild.
Rarely see any Rolex’s in the wild as everyone is scared to wear one 😮
Many of these are out of my range but I decided on a one watch collection (for now) I could have gotten a couple in the £500-£2500 sort of range but instead went for the Cartier Santos ADLC+steel. Love my little bit of luxury every day that I take everywhere.
Good Choice, Enjoy!😊
Great pick!
Love that watch
Great choice man. Same boat, I got the one in steel on steel.
great choice
I didn't sell all the watches to buy one, but I sold them because I didn't wear them... Now I've gone from 6-7 watches to two: a "cheap" but cool dive watch, Le Forban Securite Mer, and my "grail", a previous Aqua Terra model.
Yes, I bet that's happening with a lot of watch collectors. They no longer see wearing a watch as part of their daily life.
Watches are made to be enjoyed and worn. For over 2 and a half decades I only owned and wore a single watch. This one watch collection was a Rolex Submariner two tone black dial that I purchased new from the Rolex dealer in Key West were I live. That watch has been on hundreds of deep wreck SCUBA dives timing my no-decompression dive limits down time and surface intervals with me as well as working construction projects, hard core fights (retired Law Enforcement), yard work, working on cars, pulling lobster traps, off-road adventure motorcycle trips with tons of crashes, motorcycle camping, as well as with a suit and tie. It is an unstoppable tank. I finally had it serviced a few years ago because of the missing lume dot that was bugging me that I had knocked off the bezel from countless times that I smashed it into the sharp 90 degree corners of the concrete columns walking around under my house. It came back polished and looking like new again (which I did not care about as I knew it was just going to be worn and scratched up from daily use again anyway) with a new bezel that I think is a ceramic one now instead of the original aluminum, but am not sure how you can tell.
Great Watch Mitch. I like your story and your watch!...... Tank is a good description. Yes, you are a one watch man and you chose an excellent partner!...... Tank
The explorer 2 is the only daily driver here. The rest you'd be too scared to wear unless you're a Prince
If I were to sell everything in my collection I'd definitely buy an H Moser & Cie Endeavour Perpetual Palladium Fume Dial. No sooner had I done this, I'd have my eye on something else. For this reason it's pointless even contemplating it in the first place. I'm only kidding myself on that I'd be content with one watch, no matter how special it is.
Spot on couldn’t agree more
I just love my Rolex GMT 16700 black bezel for everyday wear and an Explorer 114270 for dress occasions. I will be wearing these watches until my dying day. Can you imagine the servicing costs of the more expensive watches?. I just want something solid, reliable and iconic and I’m happy.
Shame you have a fashion brand nowadays just saying 😮
For years I had a used Rolex GMT Master 2, but always wanted to get a special watch. On holiday in 2014 I stumbled across an IWC Portugieser Perpetual and fell in love. That would be my final watch.
Then in the late fall of 2019 I wanted to buy a simple dress watch that would work with a dinner jacket. I went to a VC boutique to look at a basic Patrimony, which i think is truly the most beautiful watch in the world in it's category. However, I left with a perpetual calendar chronograph in platinum. That was it! My last watch. Until the boutique invited me to an event and i tried on the vc historiques cornes de vache 1955. I don't need to go on, as i am sure that any reader that is at this point in the comments gets the picture. This is a lovely piece of conjecture, presented extremely well as this channel always does, but it is just not realistic for most watch addicts. However, it gets my thumbs up as it is great fun!
The A Lange Odysseus is a banger. I'd take that.
Best in a 'warm,' good gold; classic good looks.
Excellent choice 👌. I would go with the Zeitwerk.
Their entire collection is extraordinary.
Even if price is not an issue. I would still say No date Sub or a VC Oversea 4500V is one of the best 1 watch collection.
Perfect two watch collection haha
Too many great watches to choose.
It would be between a Seiko Alpinist or Tudor Black Bay 58.
My Tudor BB blue bezel and black dial in 41 mm is all I need. I occasionally wear my daughters Explorer II white dial.
I have a two watch collection that works very well. Grand Seiko SBG283 and Tudor Black Bay Fifty Eight. They cover all my bases.
One watch collection has to be hard wearing, versatile, wear comfortably and last a lifetime.. has to be an Rolex Oyster Perpetual 36 👌🏽
Out of everything I own, my 16750 is my go to favorite. It was the absolute best bang for the buck. You get a 40mm GMT for a DateJust price.
Sold all my stuff, got equipment in another area, and wear an OKLO Steinhardt LE 1655 homage at 39mm and 300m WR...tough, classy, discreet, +2s per day.... No regrets. Great watch, one and done, and funds for a more creative use all at one time. You can love watches AND leave them and still be whole. I tried an apple watch and found it annoying and hard to read.....the new NH34 units are tempting as well as a one watch...look at the new alpinist gmt as a one watch solution too (Seiko). The OKLO is swiss powered.
Been there and done that, sold my APROO, a rolex subc, and a pelagos... Bought a Lange dual time platinum, kept me fulfilled for nearly 2 years, then I went back to multiple watches eventually. I think for a watch nerd, the one watch thingy is a myth, just like a unicorn 🦄⌚🥂
Maybe I’m old but, if I’m putting down $$$$ for a watch, it better be a great experience not only before and during the sale, but for as long as I own the watch. You know, the romantic notion of picking up your 911 in Stuttgart and testing it there before shipping it home? Perhaps it would be picking up your Grand Seiko or Credor in Japan, enjoying an omakase meal with the watchmakers, and getting a handwritten note of thanks from the CEO when you get home. Of course, the antithesis of this ideal (imaginary?) purchasing experience is buying a Rolex from your local AD…
And then having to send your GS to Seiko Service in Mahwah NJ where you wait 6 months to find your once beautiful Zaratsu polish now looks like grated cheese.
Another great contribution from Andrew. For me, NO to a one watch collection. Why? because I love watches. I could manage maybe 4 because the mood simply changes weekly. Doesn't have to be expensive, but for me, varied! Have fun....
I'm getting to the point where I'm more or less happy with my early 00s IWC Doppelchronograph for every occasion. Close to getting rid of all the others (UN, Panerai, Tudor etc).
The only watch on this list that I loved was the Credor Eichi II. Everything else gave me a headache. Pass the Advil please.
Used to have that exact Explorer. Bought it at an official Rolex center in Switzerland. Unfortunately grew tired of it rather fast by things you wouldn't notice unless you wear it for a while. So here we go:
*The hour hand is soo short it feels off. *The bracelet tapers too much
*The clasp feels too small for the big case
*The absence of anti reflection in combination with the flat glass makes it quite unreadable on sunny days and above all, it also makes the glass a real fingerprint magnet.
*The hands weren't t properly painted on the side
*The luminous paint on the hour markers wasnt evenly applied
*And last but not least, the black paint on the bezel started to fade sooner than one would hope for a watch in this price class.
Overall just a big dissapointment. I'm a collector since I was a small boy and have watches in all price ranges. But deep inside still looking for that one watch to rule them all....my precious.
Now in my 40's and still looking and hoping for that illusive one watch collection. However one thing became clear, the Explorer definitely ain't it.
Yeah, no. I could never have just one watch. That's crazy!
I love my Cornes de Vache (RG) and it pairs so nicely with the 4520 in blue.
The only Rolex that hasn’t changed bezel and still made from steel. Love it!
Lange Saxonia thin would be my pick.
Nice to see the Rolex 216570 getting some love from Andrew! Great watch.
I'd consider selling everything and getting a Tudor North Flag.
Andrew, thank you so much for tying in the old story-telling cinema and tone WITH your face. You're brilliant, my man
No. Seriously I'm happy with an AliExpress Willard. $65 lol.
It would be hard to prune it down to just one for me. But if I did it would be a Moser Streamliner
Patek 5960 or Lange Datograph up/down.
Those are some splendid looking watches! I can always count on your content and presentation to be absolutely first rate. The hypothetical scenarios you propose are highly entertaining and engaging! Very well done 🥃
That Credor for mem easy choice. Except maybe a 222.
A Ressence would be my 1 watch collection
Cartier Santos Galbee XL and a Seiko SNE573 fits the bill for me. All basis covered.
I would seek out a Blancpain 1735 as my ultimate one watch collection. Enough said.👍⌚
Yes.
I'll take a Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Perpetual Enamel 13035E1.....please.
Jaeger LeCoultre Polaris Perpetual Calendar on a steel strap.
Also love a steel Daytona, but the Polaris is my ultimate dream watch.
Tudor Pelagos 42, Cartier Santos XL, Gold Pocket Watch & Albert for me!
A big, brilliant, blingy, Breitling Chronomat!
Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra GMT Worldtimer is my one and only watch. Sold my OP34 and Seamaster Diver 300M to buy that beauty.
The rubber strap looks cool enough I think I can wear it with a suit.
A traditional gold day date 36mm would be it. Sleek and beautiful
Selling all of my watches would just about get me half a strap from most of these examples. No complaints though.
''but instead of drawing octagon and taking the afternoon off...'' 🤣🤣🤣 thats beautiful
Omega Speedmaster gold/green would be The One for me
First good looking Audemars Piguet presented on RUclips so far this year.
Apart from that, let us not fool ourselves. We all know the good one watch collection comprises a Rolex Submariner, preferably without a date. That is, except if you live in Paris, San Francisco or London. In which case a £300 solar powered Citizen is the right choice.
Tudor Black Bay 54, that my idea for one watch collection on a low budget.
I would like to have Patria Brigadier Tourbilon watch. Hand made miracle
I think there’s too many dress watches on here, I don’t think they work for a “one watch collection,” especially if you want to wear your watch everyday at any occasion. I think only the Lange and Rolex work for that. Those you could take to a beach on a Sunday, and wear in a boardroom on Monday.
Exactly, Who go skiing or play tennis with a rose gold perpetual calendar? But you can do that with a more simpler and durable watch
If I HAD to narrow it down to just one watch I think it would have to be a Submariner or Explorer. Fortunately though, I have them both as part of a larger collection. I don’t intend to sell anything: I like variety & colour. From the ones here I like the IWC Perpetual Calendar. A bit dressy but pure class.
The IWC is beautiful!
That Lange is the only think I lust for in the watch industry anmore
I thought it would be the Moonwatch, but now that I have it, I always want more! Now I’m in the predicament that is never be able to get rid of the Speedy for a 1-watch collection with something else! Such is the plight of a watch enthusiast!
why do you want to replace the speedy? buying mine soon.
@@PyroClit that’s exactly what I’m saying, I could never get rid of the Speedy! It’s too good! I was just saying that I thought my Speedy would be my one-watch collection, but now that I have it and have learned so much in my watch journey, there’s just a lot more that I want to experience in addition to the Speedy. But I could never get rid of it, which was the premise of his video.
@@VMIyanks04 I know what you mean. I am a 3 watch guy and will be getting the speedy as the end game of the collection.
That Bregeut is my all-time favorite and is my grail. Hoping to get one in 2025 to celebrate a major life event. Will have to sell one watch and stretch the budget to make it happen, but that is the plan!
I would love an A Lange and Sohne Oddesyus or a Vacheron Overseas
Awesome video! Awesome question. Now doesn’t that AP use the JLC caliber in the Geographic? Looks like the identical layout… 👍🏼
In my view, this attractive watch emerges from a Vacheron Constantin design of some fifteen or so years ago that is superior to the AP, narrowly because of the amazing finish VC gave the watch's face, simple straight lines across, cut 'North-to-South,' as such. The Vacheron is beautifully finished, the AP nicely simplified in certain regards, but VC went all-out with the beauty of both the face and the uncommon warmth of the gold used for the case. I have my one watch and it's the Vacheron which I was given as an amazing, unexpected surprise expression of gratitude. Of the watches you show here, the IWC is super as, in gold, would be the A.Lange und Sohne. The AP looks well, too. But I my heart belongs to my older Vacheron. I am just a bit surprised you didn't include any of the most classic Jaeger Le Coultre designs, they are so refreshingly eye catching for not being round among reasons. Thanks,, fun article on a fun subject as to "the one" if one were all that one could own.

YIKES. The transition from black to orange on the Explorer IIs GMT hand was terrifying, given it's asking price.
How about a Byrne? The numerals on it change every 24 hours between four different sets, so you get four watches in one!
This, is the content I subscribed to see!
my bb58 blue is THE best one watch collection for me I take it everywhere
It is a perfect everyday watch.
Absolute perfect one watch collection 👌🏽
The Explorer 2 would be perfect for me if the bezel rotated!
Stunning. My one watch collection would be a Cartier Tank Louis Skeleton in White Gold.
I would still say that the Aquanaut beats it all as a one watch collection. It is sporty, yet classy. It is Patek, yet very understated and it really is an every day wear. Sadly prices are too high and waitlists too long. So... I will have to settle for more watches.
If I could only have one watch it would be the RM 27-01 all grey
Jlc Master Control Chronograph Quantiemme. Or my original "one and done" the modern (2000s) SpeedyMoon. Needless to say, I wasn't done...
Why not a no date, GMT Rolex, and call it an Explorer III? Since the time difference between Asia n US, for example, can also mean different date, right?
To one watch…. It would be a 2007 special edition enamel dial speedmaster with 100m WR, co-axial column wheel chrono, is literally everything I want on a speedy
H Moser Streamliner Chronograph for me
Me after selling all my watches and getting the one watch collection : "so whats the next watch?"
H. Moser perpetual or a VC American 1921 in white gold.
If I had to pick only one, I would pick the explorer. It's perfect for my need.
Santo de Cartier, blue dial with lumed hands.
1st: Yes. 2nd: a. Lange tourbograph in honey gold
I ask myself this question every day :)
I see the value in Armin Strom. However I don’t see the value in any A. Lange and sons except the zeitwerk
Speedy 321 Ed White for me.
Also… my 1 watch collection would be the H Moser Swiss Alp watch, just to fool people into thinking it’s an Apple Watch
Moser isn't that great. It's massively hyped by WatchBox who owns it lol.
Is it just me, or the Richard Mille, the last watch of the vid, looks like a Hublot Classic Fusion to me.
Not that I'll ever own a collection the resale value of which could get me one, but my definite unobtainable grail watch would be an original 1917 Cartier Tank normale.
Maybe try a hard reset.
A month, perhaps 6, with bare wrist.
Then slap on an F81W.
A JLC tribute Reverso Chronograph - two watches in one 😃
The Credor. That’s it.
I could never get rid of my Seiko Turtle or my Seiko Samurai. Not getting rid of them for any one watch. Aint gonna happen, ever.
Id sell all mine for a white rolex explorer 2
Vacheron Constantin Historiques American 1921 82035/000G-B735 40X40 MM White Gold
I’ll never see another person wearing one. That’s what makes it worth it: rarity in the real world 😁
Expl 1… then stop wasting my life watching watch videos 😂
I wouldn’t sell any of my current even Rolex collection (12 )for any of those. I’m focusing on Daytonas. I always buy black and white dials of the same watches and have the 116520s and 116500LNs. Now I want the 125600LN in black and white dials, and of course I told my AD I want the 125609 Anniversary with the Newman throwback dial. I’d trade all of my non Daytonas, except for maybe my 41 Wimbledon (dressy Rolex) I would definitely dump my 2014 Hulk, which I never wear and is mint. They are all nice choices as we would expect from you. Just not for me. Great Vid!
Weird flex but OK..
lmao... So not only you only collect sports watches, you mainly collect Daytonas, 2 of each model, and went into the comments to say that every watch of yours is better than any of the watches Andrew has to suggest. That is like someone who only collects Toyotas, multiple cars of the same model, and scoffs at the idea of an Porsche 911, or a Alfa Romeo Giulia.
Rolex OP 41mm blue.
Which ones can i swim in
I want that Richard Milley. Everyone would complement me.
Excellent video. For the bulk of the population living on Earth, using a Richard Mille as a daily driver is ridiculous (if the bulk of us could afford it). I say as a matter of practicality, one watch to use while working on the car or garden and one watch to impress the one person waiting in line next to you in a donut shop waiting for their cup of coffee and a chocolate cruller.
Omega Speedmaster and second the Rolex Submariner both in steel.
Hmm rolex day date (platinum, meteorite, diamond index), rolex daytona (white gold, black mother of pearl) or a lange sohne (odyss)
That Lange in just stunning. My grail is a Lange 1 but that sportswatch is fantastic.
That Credor is just an overpriced Seiko aka Grand Seiko
JLC Polaris Mariner Memovox. One and done.
