My never sell watch would be my Hamilton Khaki King. It represents my son being born.

[@WatchUnwind]

Same with my Rolex OP I wore it when my daughter was born and bought it right when I found out she was on her way

[@YouTube_is_full_of_trolls]

Do you enjoy your hamilton? I'm looking to buy, but not 100% convinced

@ryMervx the best things about watches are linking them to memories and story’s for me

[@lincolnj1048]

Great watch overall too though hahaha

[@saulruse5550]

Longines! True watch enthusiasts know this is a company with heritage and amazing movements. Beautiful!

[@Ian-bq7gp]

Longines are very under rated. I have a cheaper quartz movement basic classic over 21 years on 4th battery that keeps great time and is beautiful

[@freegibran]

I agree but that’s how Swatch has chosen to position their brand. Longines has a lot of history but to be quite honest, it’s just too affordable of a brand to be respected.

I feel like everyone can agree that nobody would sell a watch that has some sort of a personal connection to it. Everything else is expendable 🤷‍♂️

[@taxninja2519]

Thank God finally I see someone talking up this great watch brand.

[@ericgrace9995]

I bought the titanium blue dial version of this watch 5 days ago. It's an absolute beauty and incredibly well priced. I love it. The Longines Heritage Collection and Spirit line are some of the most attractive watches out there.

[@nk-oi3oo]

Better than richard mille

[@BroAriq]

I never sell my first, first watch, first automatic, first luxury watch, and then i ended up with 12 watches that i would never sell...

[@s2mc-w899]

I'd never sell my watches as people would never want to buy them 🤣 I think watches are a personal choice, some history or story behind them there's always a reason. I don't think I could buy a watch and say it's an "investment"

There’s nothing wrong with the nato on it. Aside from the strength of the hardware on the strap itself, they’re all essentially just as good as any other nato.

[@Studat]

[@OscarOSullivan]

Their conquest heritage 35mm is a lovely watch

[@Daud76]

[@zainalazzan]

Absolutely loved this watch (the blue dial) in pictures and dreamed of it for so long. It was not available anywhere in my country. When I went to Qatar for the World Cup, I found it in one of the malls and got extremely excited. Tried it on and I must say I was quite disappointed. The chronograph hand was misaligned (I know, it can be adjusted) and I just couldn’t stand that big eye 😂 so it very quickly was dethroned as one of my grail watches. That being said, I’m glad you love yours!

My never sell is a Sub my grandfather gave me just before he passed

[@jeremycrowley8628]

this is not an aviation watch...im shocked that he talks about the larger dial being so that a pilot could read it better. It is inspired by military watches but 100% is not considered an aviation watch in way or fashion. Longines also DOES NOT advertise it at such. he is LITERALLY making sh*t up. that watch has as much PILOT usability as a 20 dollar standard quartz chronograph. no pilot functions what so ever.

[@jeremycrowley8628]

not only that, the BIG EYE is not unique. it has been done many many times since the 1920's and none of them were advertised or used as "Pilot" watches.
