Favorite non-Rolex you own?
Curious what everyone’s favorite non-Rolex watch is that they own and wear (alongside their regular Rolex rotations)? Happy Holidays!

OP - mine are shown on my signature below. They’re usually watches I find of horological interest, whether it be historically speaking or the beginning or end of a design era.

I don't have to think hard about this; it's definitely my Tudor Royal 41 with diamonds and an add on magnifier.

Who added the magnifier for you? I would like to do that but don't want to botch it up myself. I like this watch but I wonder if it will eventually be upgraded to 70 hours power reserve.

I did it; I botched it the first time but practice makes perfect. Learned from my mistake and reworked it with a bit of IPA (isoproponal not India Pale Ale). FWIW, the 40 hour reserve is plenty for my needs.

If memory serves me Dan Pierce had an excellent step by step post on it when he did his. I’d try to find it but Dan has over 33,000 post.

My recipe is 50% fresh lemon juice and 50% sprite zero…you just use a few drops of lemon?

Vintage Tudor sub now, also happens to be my latest addition.

Used to be the speedy but lost respect and interest after it started seeing condensation inside the crystal in normal usage <1 yr into ownership :/

A beautiful solid gold 1973 Omega Genève automatic inherited from my father. She runs beautifully, roughly +4-7 secs per day! I never bother setting the date because it's just too small to see and I don't need it. That´s the original box, too.

The Sherpagraph - with one of the most interesting dials found on any of the vintage chronographs.
