Second Choice After Rolex?

Hey Watch-Nerds,

I was curious, what are your second, third, etc. watch brands after, of course, Rolex?

I would have to say Bell&Ross, Omega, Breitling are amongst my favorite.... I haven't owned a Panerai yet, however I hear those are tanks as well.

Thoughts??

Omega, Panerai (mainly..), then I have a Rado which I love too.

Always look for other brands to branch out....

I would say Panerai and Omega even though all I own are Rolex. I don't even really have a desire for any other make.

Rolex is my second choice after Omega.

Eight Omegas, three Rolex, then several others.

Based on what I have, I guess you could say JLC since that is the only other one I have more than one of. But I have others and I like them all, but differently. There are alot out there that are really nice and I would still like to own some more if I am lucky.

So many watches, so little time.

Panerai for me.

I'm considering picking up a Tudor Heritage Chrono (Monte Carlo) though.

Breitling and Omega for me - maybe IWC. I'd love a classic Patek at some point though for work.
