1 or more , I don't care

But the question is to the memebers who have only Rolex, NO OTHER BRANDS

Could you tell us which brand you would consider buying if you would add another brand ?

Panerai ? IWC ? Omega ? JLC ? ...

Dan2010 · 25 July 2011, 03:42 AM

IWC 1st, Omega 2nd.

I have ZERO interest in Panerai or any other brand other than MAYBE IWC or Omega.

I admit for better or for worse, I am a Rolex Snob.

If I'm spending the amount of money necessary to buy a Rolex, it wouldn't be on any other watch but a Rolex. Just the way I feel. I'm sure there are other watches just as good or better than Rolex, but they're just not for me.

erikscollectables · 25 July 2011, 04:18 AM

I started out with not wanting any Rolex, mainly IWC, JLC and Zenith - now most of these are gone and probably more will go for the next Rolex

I want a panda AP ROO so bad, but it's out of my comfort zone spending-wise for the time being. I would like to add IWC,JLC, Patek, and Lange. This could take decades, however.

Explorer 2011 · 25 July 2011, 05:52 AM

IWC would be next if i bought another brand.

renfield33 · 25 July 2011, 05:54 AM

i consider many other brands for other reasons. PP for a calatrava, JLC for a reverso, maybe an IWC for a big pilot.

panerai, no thanks, just a bit too much for me.

gwalker · 25 July 2011, 05:59 AM

For the $$$ I think Rolex is about as good as it gets. If I had the cash to spend whatever on a watch a Roger W. Smith would be nice or a Patek. I have many other hobbies and I think about $15k is as much as I would go on a timepiece right now. I guess I shouldn't be answering since I do also own a seamaster (and a Timex, LOL) but oh well. I like the Omega but not in the same class as the Rolex. I love watches but If I only get 1 or 2 more Rolex's in my lifetime I'm sure I will be happy. I'm sure my DSSD will last me another 20-30 years wearing it daily.

jwcy · 25 July 2011, 06:31 AM

iwc, panerai, ap and pp are all only my list.

astrazen · 25 July 2011, 06:39 AM

A Lange & Sohne

TSW · 25 July 2011, 06:39 AM

AP and Breguet

jefstathiou · 25 July 2011, 06:43 AM

AP Panda.

fc3s2k · 25 July 2011, 06:48 AM

Started with Rolex, then Panerai, (which I got)
Now it's JLC reverso, then AP ROO (model TBD)

SaddleSC · 25 July 2011, 08:01 AM

I have always loved/owned Rolex. I recently bought a couple PAMs that I enjoy. Next, would be AP 15300 and then perhaps a Lange.

wrxsti · 25 July 2011, 08:14 AM

Iwc, i have been thinking of converting my entire collection to Iwc....nothing like the simplicity and clean lines of an Iwc, i would love to add any of these:

rolexpawn · 25 July 2011, 08:19 AM

I am screwed, all I want is Rolex, Rolex, Rolex.....................

ingoodtime · 25 July 2011, 08:16 AM

Why would you want to exclude people that own other brands? Their favorite may or may not be Rolex but at least they could give you pros and cons of the makes and models they own. Asking for people that only own Rolex about other brands is kind of like going to the Mercedes Benz dealer and asking him questions about Nissan cars.

crowncollection · 25 July 2011, 08:20 AM

patek phillipe

RanHong · 25 July 2011, 11:32 AM

Patek, ap

Lanfor · 25 July 2011, 11:36 AM

I would have to go for a AP ROO, JLC tourbillon or a nice PP

jimchan · 25 July 2011, 11:39 AM

I will maybe choose Grand Seiko and compare them side by side with rolex. I'm really interested in their Spring Drive although their use of integrated circuit did put me a little off.

jhupp · 25 July 2011, 11:41 AM

Totally off the wall but I want a Ulysse Nardin soooo bad. The Maxi Marine Diver!! I have been drooling over one for a long time. Will surely be a future pruchase,

perpetualman88 · 25 July 2011, 11:45 AM

if not rolex then
#1 patek philippe
#2 Lang and sohne

JoeG · 25 July 2011, 11:48 AM

Iwc, ap, jlc

clarencek · 25 July 2011, 11:55 AM

I only have three brands so far. Rolex, Grand Seiko, and AP (just got my first).
I've tried a zillion others and so far, these three have been winners.

I considered PP... but the thread on the Non-Rolex forum here about PP service time and costs - have soured me on the brand.

Rock · 25 July 2011, 12:09 PM

I have a Seiko & a couple of rubber watches I wear in the garden - does that disqualify me from responding? (They hardly register really, do they.)
I love the clarity & simple elegance of most IWC and Vacheron Constantin.
A Patek would be only a dream unless I won the lottery.
