Apologies, I got two threads going inadvertently when the poll didn't get added to this thread. My bad.

I'll admit that Rolex is a stepping stone for me. Even if I won the lottery though there would still be 1 or 2 in my collection.

Rolex (had 2 DJs, 2 Subs, 1 YM, currently have a DJ)
Panerai (Had a Daylight Chrono, awesome watch)
Omega (had 1 SpeedMaster, 2 SeaMasters)
Breitling (none yet, but looking for one)
Ball (had 1 Fireman, currently have 2 Engineers)
Hamilton (have a ViewMaster on the way)
Tissot (have a Chrono, my only quartz, nice bang around watch)


Most comfortable watch out of all of them - Ball Engineer Master II Moon Glow (in my current stable), this watch is just plain comfy...
Most noticed/comments received of all of them - Panerai Daylight
Most loved by me - Rolex YachtMaster (really miss this one the most)
Best value of all of them - Balls, super build quality, awesome lume
Worst watch of all of them - Omega SpeedMaster, didn't sit well on my wrist, too thick in relation to diameter, flipped it pretty quickly.
