I'm a Reis Nichols guy. lol Haven't purchased a watch for over a decade, but I've got the itch again. I took my GMT Master II into Reis two weekends ago for service. I was the first time I'd been in there in years, definitely since before the remodel. I was devastated to learn they don't carry Panerai anymore. Closest we've got is Chicago now.

I'm about to buy a Bell & Ross ceramic diver for use most often at my lake house on the boat. I could absolutely use my Submariner for this purpose, and do sometimes. That said, I want something that is even less concerning (from a value standpoint) to expose to rougher conditions. I like the rubber band and the ceramic case...simple as that.

I have and have had lots of different brands over the years.
While I'm still in a position to get Rolex sports models at retail price I have focused on Rolex There's lots of other brands watches I like the look of right now but I cant justify to myself the 40-50% devaluation as soon as I walk out of the dealers so I'm sticking with Rolex |

I love my Rolexes and other brands, but the other brands I won’t purchase anywhere close to msrp. In 2014 Omega issued a new Speedmaster Mark ii , I really wanted one . Last year I found an 8 month old model that looked unworn . I paid 3600. , that’s the way I buy non Rolex watches .

It’s all those MBA’s.
WTF were they thinking, is what I ask myself when looking at display cases at dealers. 80% of the production models of 80% of the brands could disappear tomorrow, and no one would miss then.

I'm in line with 'buy what you like' as you can see from my list below.
Of course, I feel my TT Sub is the best of my humble collection. I like the idea of owning various brands as they all have their strengths.
