Not everyone’s cup of tea but it is this one for me. Although a very recent addition, this is my favourite watch by a country mile. I cba selling of the rest of my collection but if I were starting again I think I would be content with this as an ‘only watch’.

This is the favourite watch in my collection. Purcahse new in 2011 for no specific reason other than I liked it. Its not my expensive nor the latest but the sheer wearability and class it oozes is second to none. A brand that 'luckily' flies under the radar to most watch thieves/muggers. WIN WIN!

I wanted an Omega Speedmaster Professional since I first saw one years ago. Finally got one brand new last year and my daily since I took it out of the box.

Can't understand anyone not liking that. I'm looking to treat myself with one like that for an impending special occasion.
Blue background really suits those rolexs

Couldn't pick a favourite one, so here are two absolute favourites:



Handwound Stowa Flieger Klassik. Always feels right on my wrist.



Orion Sylph. American microbrand powered by Seiko and one of seventy made. Wonderful colours depending on the light, burgundy, blues, violet.

Love the pair of them.

Library pics as I'm rubbish at taking watch pictures. hehe

Yep - but I prefer them in dictator spec gold. Platinum is a bit stealth wealth for them...

Apologies for the thread hijack but I’m looking to sell my 2006 Speedmaster Pro (on a bracelet). I bought it in 2008 and it hasn’t been serviced but keeps good time. If you’d be interested in a purchase, please feel free to DM me.

It's a heck of a lot easier to pick out which isn't my favourite biggrin

Sinn's EZM13 for me. Not the most expensive watch I own, not the best finished, the bracelet clasp is no more than functional, it doesn't have drilled lugs (it should, IMO), the lume could be better, it doesn't need Arabics by the hour markers, I've others that have a slicker bezel action... yet still...

Why does that watch have a crown set up for being worn on the right wrist, yet you are wearing it on the left?
Or am I due a parrot?

It’s designed to be worn on the left wrist so the crown and pushers don’t interfere with your hand etc. Pretty common on Sinn watches.

My favourite is my PO. I have worn it the vast majority of the time since I bought it 6 years a go. My only real watch want is a PO GMT. Maybe this year.

Probably this one for me: Farer Lander Chronograph.
I love the dial, and now I've put it on this chestnut barenia leather sports strap like it even more

Odd is it not, the whole point of the crown being on the other side is so that you can access it with the fingers of your other hand? Sinn then remove that ability. Ah well, definitely one of the first world problems. Thanks for replying....
