Irrespective of brand affinity/cost, which is your fav?

[seadragon]

I mean the favourite of the ones you own currently !!

I'll start. Grand Seiko is my favourite brand, but the below is my favourite watch.

Has to be the Nautilus. Nothing else has ever come close really. Just beautiful and makes you feel amazing when you have it on and look at it. Lol

[andy tims]

Probably this one



It's one I've had for a while & it's a special occasion watch.

If I was going to be a one watch guy then it would probably be a blue 41mm Aqua Terra.

Its smart enough on the leather, sporty on the rubber, has an interesting movement and dial, and isn't too precious to use.

[andy_s]

Worn for pretty much all of ten years now:

Current favourite... although I am looking at something else to buy at the moment...

[nikaiyo2]

It’s under the radar, not mega expensive and can have fun with straps.

[SturdyHSV]

I think actually probably this one. I had a Rado Ceramics I wore 24/7 for 10 years, so I have a bit of a fondness for Rado as a brand.

The dial is just an endless pleasure to look at.

Despite being a fairly standard ETA 2824 movement (I think that's right) it loses -1 second a day so is also easily the most accurate.

The matte grey ceramic means it's light and comfortable and very tough too.

[AlexC1981]

Still looking tidy considering it was made over 40 years ago. I'd wear it more often but the tuning fork movement eats batteries for breakfast. I like the blue brushed dial with its curved square shape, the detail of the hands, the sharp contrast of the case brushed and polished areas.

[Mosdef]

My Breguet XXI.

[CardShark]

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

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...

EZM13

Great selection of watches on this thread so far

Sorry, but that is just about the worst looking watch I’ve seen. Weird shape and far too much going on. Probably massively overpriced judging by the make as well.

I’m afraid I would have to agree! It is hideous!

[thebraketester]

I bought it for about $80 at Disney Land in Florida in 1995. I saw it in the shop and absolutely loved it, I spent all my money on it. I wore it for a little while when I got back but it’s been in the tin and box ever since.

It’s worth absolutely fk all and it’s rather hideous but the memories is brings back cannot have a value placed on them.

It has the crown and remains the king of my collection.....

[wisbech]

Seiko Astron 40th anniversary (2009) Light (titanium) extremely accurate, looks great, flies under the radar. Seiko, so non watch people don’t think much of it, and a quartz, so most watch snobs likewise discount it...

Bit harsh, and probably just the photo doing it no favours. The Nautilus looks awesome in the metal. I don't think I'd have the balls to wear it as an only watch though, especially in gold!

Not the point of this thread, just post up your watches and say why you like it, there is literally no reason or invitation by the OP to criticise someone else's personal choice or opinion.

This is rarely off my wrist. Pretty much my “go-to” within my modest collection.
