Your Most Treasured Watch

If for some reason, by some disaster, you were able to only keep one watch out of all you own, what watch would it be and why?
For me it would be this Elgin pocket watch that belonged to my grandfather. Circa 1930's.
I remember as a small child sitting on his lap and playing with this very same watch. It still keeps great time today. Every watch I own can easily be replaced for a price. But this watch can not be replaced and therefore it is the one that I would save if I could only save one.

This one needs some work, but it belonged to my wife's Grandfather, and kind of special.

First of all, shame on you Timebender for asking such a horrible question so early on a Monday... I already have a headache because of it now!!! 
hmy: :cursing:
BUT - if I had to pick just one & could never replace the others, it would be my Breitling Super Ocean. Though not the favorite of my collection, it was bought to mark my son's birth this year, and to hand down to him someday so it has the most sentimental value of the collection....

Even though I dearly love my IWC Portuguese 5001, I would be heart broken to part with my grandfather's Ball Railroad Certified PW from the 1920's. He supplied coal to the Union Pacific RR and went bankrupt in the great depression, but kept this official RR watch.If for some reason, by some disaster, you were able to only keep one watch out of all you own, what watch would it be and why?

My most treasured watch
Thats a tough choice although this is not my favorite watch, it does carry the most sentimental value of any watch I own. Yes its quite blingy, but for a watch that is over 30 years old it has been one of the most reliable watches in my collection.
