HauteHippie Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 Man are there ever some amazing pieces out there. I thought I'd start a thread to display your favorite watches owned by members of our community, preferably pieces that at the very least started their lives as reps. I know for certain that none of my favorites are my own. Here are a few of my favorites, without naming names and in no particular order...

Jkay Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 My current favorite among many is Gran's Crazy Hours in silver on custom double hornback. I'll add more as I find more pics of the member's watches I covet I can tell you that JoJo, gioarmani, Lani, and Ubi are going to figure prominently in this rogue's gallery. P4GTR's UN Maxi By-Tor's glacier blue dial Day-Date (for the Mrs, not me) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertk Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 Tooo many to consider. Gran's got some beauties, but how do you pick a favorite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 Choose 5, then This one .. I'm sorry, I forget to whom it belongs ... is burned into my brain .. WOW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chronos666 Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 Z-'s Illinois Fiddy, and whoever's this super lumed slevin's is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 Whenever this question comes up, the image that always comes to mind is Avitt's 2 6263 Daytonas - 1 black dial & 1 silver dial, which were the catalyst for many other members' DW projects (including mine). Here is 1 of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 Here are my current forum favorites: chieftang's beautiful FM franken with gen dial done up in Zigmeister lume: opcrown's very amazing 203/A: another vote for watchmeister's PAM28 franken: and an unknown, unfinished AP Barrichello II franken that bricciola is working on: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member X Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 Choose 5, then This one .. I'm sorry, I forget to whom it belongs ... is burned into my brain .. WOW. That's a one-off custom build by JohnG, I think! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauteHippie Posted June 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 Whenever this question comes up, the image that always comes to mind is Avitt's 2 6263 Daytonas - 1 black dial & 1 silver dial, which were the catalyst for many other members' DW projects (including mine). Here is 1 of them Ah yes, I was looking for this too. The silver dial version is the one I love. This one is easily in my top 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwatch Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 Concepta's Super Franken Laureus is definitely on my top list for sure!!! Also Freddy's new Albino 6542 is my ultimate grail watch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vlydog Posted June 29, 2010 Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 Great idea for a thread B and also thanks for the shout-out! As chief said, some of my favorites but in no particular order... and definitely more to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeeJay Posted June 29, 2010 Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 I have two, in no order: Classic, yet customized: Inspiring to my own project: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomhorn Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 (edited) Ubi and Avitt's Daytonas ... OK, well anything from either of those two pretty much has to make the list ... Chief's 3717 gave me the incentive to do up mine, which is my personal favorite piece (although not as nice as his, yet). Any of Concepta's franken Portuguese chronos. Most recently being Deltatahoe's panda. Edited June 30, 2010 by tomhorn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redwatch Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 +1 on the Project X WM9! Love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P4GTR Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 Nice idea for a topic Chief. Jkay, i'm flattered to see one of my watches in the 2nd post. That UN is very special, given to me by the owner of the 1st watch in the thread, Mr. Ubi-doo. By-Tor and I have similar taste, so here are two beauties captured with class.. RobbieG's Gen UN MMD, and genuinely amazing photographs Nanuqs Gen double Red. A watch that looks like if it could talk, would have some good stories.

lhooq Posted July 2, 2010 Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 Inspiring to my own project: Wow, why didn't I check this thread earlier? I'm honored you'd put me in such esteemed company, TeeJay! So here are a few of my favorites. Ubi's 7032: Someone's already posted Freddy's epic, white 6542, so I'll go with his Honpo: jmb's fantastic, I-can't-believe-he-did-that, Tudor: And, most of all, Stilty's sensational, inspirational Explorer: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay Posted July 2, 2010 Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 Wow, why didn't I check this thread earlier? I'm honored you'd put me in such esteemed company, TeeJay! It was seeing your pre-Daytona on the Tropic strap which gave me the 'final color-scheme' for my project, although I'm planning to make it a Tudor Chronograph instead of a Rolex, and also gave me the final push I needed to try the Modena Tropic-Style strap, which has been a real pleasure to wear during the recent hot/humid weather Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
