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).

wallp.jpg

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).

3.jpg

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.

6.jpg

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.

1-1.jpg

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.

15ojjns.jpg

That's my top 5.

a great reminder, BT...sometimes, we get lost it all the flash and macromania...

@all -> updates to the leaderboard coming... :whistling:

Editorial comment: it's cool to get an insight into everyone's favorites...yes - many watches are seen in the various corners of this forum...but this thread gives a glimpse into favorites...and favorites have meaning; defining our character...

thanks to all - so far!... :drinks:

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"

1.jpg

2.jpg

After a lot of discussion, I decided to paint the subdial and center seconds hand, so this was the end state...

212.jpg

Next is my custom Fiddy.

And finally, another Fiddy based custom, with a Ross dial, and a turn of the century movement...

Lovely Zig, Those movements are gorgeous.

Love that stealth look on the Flyback. Did you do the 286 look yourself as well? The sub and chrono hand that is?

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

Particularly this one with my first modded movement
