I'd probably pick something like the solid platinum Daytona, just for the monetary value...

100 years ago means 1928... I'd bring one of my 3646 with a Cortebert movement. That would put the watch just about ten years ahead of his time. For once I'd be a real trend setter :)

I'd take a digital Casio.....that would surely impress the ladies of 1918!

I’d take a chrono fly back or a gmt. Stick with older brands like blancpain, vacheron, cortebert, etc.

Or I’d call my “phone” my watch and have them make me the president

Couldn't take anything unless you wanted to get "found out" and snatched up by the government. You'd have to liquidate everything in this time period and bring gold. Just think of the sweet watches you could BRING BACK!

Ok. This is the correct idea.

100% new and not faded or anything antique watches or vintage watches. Imagine seeing a vacheron or breguet from that era brand new as intended.

Anything I bring back to 2018 is probably going to be in a casket... :p

Casio CL-301 solar calculator watch. I figure reverse engineering the tech would give me enough cash flow to change history AND secure my dynasty.
