1. Rolex
2. Rolex
3. Rolex

If I had to chose another it would probably be a pam.

That is the answer, I will leave Patek's to people like my dad, however, I would not mind a specific Vacheron!

For me, the first 3 have to be Rolex-- GMT, Sub, DJ. I've had or have all three. The next on my list are probably GP (have a couple chrono's) and JLC, which I have never had.

As much as I like JLC and appreciate Patek and others, they are almost all dress watchmakers who occasionally make sportier models. It's hard for me to justify big bucks for a watch that can't get wet. IMO, a watch with a leather strap was not made for everyday, every situation wear like all Rolex.

The jury is still out on that. The big three all have interesting watches. AL&S and JLC tend to have too big watches for my taste.

I've owned an ROO and it was the most over-rated watch I have ever owned. Sold it within a few weeks. The 3 brands that I would own...and I'll even give models are:

Glashutte Senator Chronometer - Rose Gold
A Lange - Langematik Perpetual - Platinum
Rolex - White Gold Blue Ceramic Submariner
