Here are a couple of mine. The Movado is in for a service right now, clean and oil, new crown and pushers, and aftermarket sapphire crystal. I don't have a good pic of my Alpha Newman white dial chrono.

This Tag is my favorite. Trust me, pictures do not do this watch justice. If you see it in person it's beaautiful, IMO

for the IWC and the Omega,so far.Although I dont like the dial of the IWC where the 12 and the 6 has been "cut off".I like the second one,in Steve's pics better .. That Omega,sure is purty too .. I am not a great Tag fan,but the Carrera,especially with the silver dial, is one of their better offerings .

Keep them comming !!

I'd go for the Omega Seamaster AquaTerra Chronograph.
I have the black dial version and it is easily the best watch I have ever had.
Two years into ownership she runs flawless, gains about 4 seconds a week and has a power reserve of around 50 hours or so.

Also, 150m water resistance with pushers that do not have to be unscrewed to be used, and three years warranty from Omega.
Can't beat. Plus the 3301 in house movement is considered to be on par with Rolex 4130 and Zenith El Primero.

Here is a pic of the white dial version with heat blued hands.

Chip,

Not only is that watch very, very beautiful to look at, your photography as usual has brought out the full grandeur of the watch.

Superb!!!

Excellent ,but still feel the white/silver dialed Omega in the link that Brendan posted gets my vote,from the Omega stable ...

Nothing wrong mechanically, but I just found it was too top-heavy, busy dial and somehow lost its appeal to me within a couple of weeks. I just picked it up 'cause I got it in a "runaway sale" at Watches of Switzerland.

Tell the truth, JJ. The fact that it didn't have a sweep second hand drove you crazy.

Here's a white dial Breitling that does have the sweep second hand.
