What other brands do you own aside from Rolex
What other brands of watches do you enjoy owning aside from Rolex. Most of us are WIS and thus like more than just one brand. I have a lot of brands that I own and enjoy wearing aside from Rolex. IWC, BP, Doxa, Rado, Concord, Ball and Omega are the more expensive brands, but I also own Seiko SRP series divers ,Citizen aqualand, Deep Blue and Zeno. I have a wide variety brands as I enjoy mechanical time pieces regardless of price.
What are some of your favorite other brands you own and especially some of the more economical brands. |

Started out collecting with more of a "shotgun" approach and ventured into the likes of VC, Brequet, AP, Rolex, PP, ALS, UN, Anonimo, Lum-Tec, BP, Panerai, and JLC. In the last couple of years I've changed my philosiphy to the "rifle" approach and have concentrated primarily on ALS with a couple PP's thrown in for good measure.

I have a TAG, three Seikos, and two Casios (a G-Shock and an Edifice).
And a Movado that my parents got me, so it only comes out at family gatherings

IWC, AP, Omega, Bulgari.... I am multi-brand. I go for the watches that looks good to me, not just the name on the dial. But I do regard Rolex highly.

I had two BREITLINGs, a Grand Seiko, a Zenith El Primero Flyback, a Tudor Chrono. All sold to raise funds for my new Daytona. So now I have only Omega and, of course, my two Rolexes.

Yes I do buddy and they all get worn. The Black Monster is just a fun watch. The Ironman sits in my toolbox and gets worn when needed. The G was a present from two special girls and it means the most to me, even more than my LV

G shock which probably has more "stories" than my others as it was my work watch at the PD.
Omega and Doxa too, they just "sang" to me!

I cannot agree more with you regarding the gift, they sure have a lot of value.

Most of my watches are currently being auctioned off by Heritage.
I am still deciding what I need. There is a Parmiagani in my future to go with my Rolex TT DJ, and a quartz watch when I travel. |

Besides those in my signature, I've also owned a couple of mid range brands (Nomos & Tudor) and lower priced brands (Marathon & Helson).
I've been selling off and consolidating. Had too many that weren't getting wrist time. Now thinking of adding a GO or ALS to the herd as a nice dress watch. Will probably end up going GO since I want an automatic rather than manual.
