Don't think any of those are really new.

I'd vote Bvlgari Octo FS series. That's new.

Nice!! Mine is a 1971 spec but I’ve got fitted steel shutters I’m installing throughout the weekend.

So 2 of 3 from the Holy Trinity of Watchmaking are at the top of the poll but other people's personal ranking show that Rolex has overtaken Vacheron Constantin.

I guess that's why VC doesn't have its own sub-forum.

I know MB&F and heard of FPJ. I only included the most popular and recognizable brands.

Grand Style,

I answered submariner in your poll. Has been in production since 1953, design has remained very close to the original, best selling luxury diver and great daily watch. With all of that being said, there are lots of great model lines mentioned within your list such as the Royal Oak, Nautilus and Overseas. Those are high horology pieces that fall into a different category than Rolex, the Holy Trinity of watch making. This is based on movement/case finishing, grand complication capabilities, brand history and longevity as a manufacturer. We’d like to hear your opinion on what is your favorite and why?

Also, Rolex makes as many watches in a week as Vacheron potentially produces in a year. AP, VC and PP offer exclusivity and rarity that adds to their allure.

Thx for the info Lee. I didn't know that about Submariner. Neither did I know that Rolex makes that many watches Wow.

For me if I could I'd have one for each day or occasion.

All of the references you mention would be associated as iconic models of the brands.

If you are asking about most sales, I voted for the Sub. Far more made and sold than anything else mentioned.
