By-Tor Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 I'm with Ubi, you've seen my watches so many times... and besides, I'm lazy and I always post the same pics over and over. (I promise to take some new photos during my baby vacation). Bond Seamaster (gen). This I had as a rep for over 4 years. Then I purchased a gen from a forum friend. It's one of the classics that I never get tired of. Always a great choice with a suit (it's not a dress watch but if an elegant English gentleman James Bond can wear it with a suit, why not me?) I also have the chrono version (as a rep and it's superb). Pepsi GMT (gen). Best watch Rolex ever made, and definitely the best movement (3185) too. How can you argue against this watch, there's no way. Maybe the Sub is a bit more popular but Pepsi is synonymous with Rolex, and the movement is simply superior. My old man has the 1675, I have the 16710 and maybe my son will get the ceramic Pepsi version (when it comes out). TAG Aquaracer Automatic Chronograph (gen). My favorite chronograph and the coolest blue dial ever produced. There's just something about this particular model that "speaks" to me. I liked the rep a lot but the smaller (42mm) date-only version is even nicer. Breitling Superocean Steelfish X-Plus (rep). My favorite diver watch. Rolex and Omega divers can't touch this. Pure perfection design-wise. The rep is really, really nice. My white Explorer II (franken). Wears small, has the typical thing that white dial watches have... i.e doesn't have the "striking" effect on anyone. Won't get noticed. But I notice it, that's the only thing that matters. One of the nicest white dial watches ever produced. And no other watch reminds people more of winter and snow. That's my top 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utheman Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 Seriously, this time I would like to see RedWatch's favorites. ww Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hackR Posted February 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 Won't get noticed. But I notice it, that's the only thing that matters. a great reminder, BT...sometimes, we get lost it all the flash and macromania... @all -> updates to the leaderboard coming...

RWG Technical Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 Sorry I am late to the party... Here are my favorites, all of them are custom built by my own hands. First up is my "Stealth PAM 212" After a lot of discussion, I decided to paint the subdial and center seconds hand, so this was the end state... Next is my custom Fiddy. And finally, another Fiddy based custom, with a Ross dial, and a turn of the century movement... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FxrAndy Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 Well the top 5 has to include my Ingy as it made me buy the Gen (total safe queen for the next 30 years i hope) The Black bird gets a lot of wrist time and so far i have had two the second was swapped for a very nice BCE Now on leather with ocean racer deployant The wifes SOSF has to come next, even thought it looks like she has been industrial diving with it for the past few years, such a solid watch And then it would have to be my own brand Schuhren Particularly this one with my first modded movement A few others would come as favorates but i am looking to get rid of some to make some funds Railmaster 39mm Modded fiddy Modded moonwatch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
