No watch obsessive can have only one watch, but the Seiko SUN019 Kinetic Tuna Diver, with its 47.5 mm bezel, deep dish dial, and giant Lumibrite lume markers, would have to be my first choice.
Part of its appeal is that it has the DNA of my favorite watches. There is the Tuna shroud. There are the Marine Master professional diver lume marks. There is some Orient Saturation Diver in this. I see some Seiko Sumo. I even see some Breitling.
Beyond that, the design is bold--perhaps too bold for some--and wears big on the wrist. If I could only have one, it would be the Seiko SUN019. My second choice would be my Seiko Tuna SBBN017.

If only one watch, a Kinetic would be a great choice. Purely on style, I like the Tuna better though.

My favorites of your recent collection are the OSD, CGT, and Tuna. I like the kinetic, but I don't connect with its distinct style - it is a bit of a mish-mash of styles, none really standing out as its signature flavor. But that is just my sense and I'm glad you like it so.
Are you still loving your black Deep Blue? For awhile that was the Greatest Watch Ever.
My one watch would be the blue Omega Seamaster followed losely by the black Seamaster. Everything else would be a very distant third.

Love the Deep Blue though it needs to get more wrist time. I can't imagine selling it. Let's put it that way.
