What a lazy bugger he is.

It doesn't work like that. Sign him up here and he'll be telling you his top 5 watches in a week or so.

All of my top ten are in the £100,000+ range so I'm no help here.

Rolex Sea Dweller.
IWC Big Pilot.
JLC Memovox Polaris.

I imagine they have a budget within the luxury catagory (so no need to get carried away, e.g. Richard Mille...). The watch is for daily use.

Ladies and gentlement, start your engines! Let me have your lists! Here's mine (in no particular order):

1. Rolex Submariner (both Date and non-Date get to share one spot!)
2. Omega Seamaster
3. Omega Speedmaster
4. IWC Spitfire Mark XVI
5. Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Control

Debate and disagreement welcome!!!

Where is the Kennith Cole 875????????????

I am currently content with my four watches and havent figured out what will be my next. I am thinking of a WG President with jubilee. My farthest dream is a Breguet with complications..

[ersnyder]

1. Rolex Exp II
2. Rolex Milgauss GV
3. PAM 090
4. Cartier Santos
5. Cartier Tank Francais

[DWdrummer]

If you are not a Rolex fan, and sometimes even if you ARE, they most iconic watch would have to be the Omega Speedmaster Professional.

[Ebruner]

1. Rolex Submariner
2. Rolex Day-Date
3. Rolex Date-Just
4. Rolex GMT
5. Rolex Daytona

As you can see I love Rolex, this is a Rolex forum you know. Omega has never done anything for me personally.

Surprised that no one has mentioned Zenith EP.

[landroverking]

This group always has a hard time looking past the Rolex Sub. While likely in the top five on a lot of lists, some need to think outside the box.

My list.

1. Patek Chronograph(almost anyone, but the triple date models must be put first)
2. Rolex Daytona (Paul Newman Dial)
3. Rolex Sub (non-date)
4. Rolex Day-Date
5. Rolex GMT(1675) and the Rolex Daytona (Zenith) Tie!

Now the only one on the list that I have no interst in owning is the Rolex Sub.

1.Rolex Sea-Dweller 4000
2.Rolex SS Daytona (black dial)
3.Omega Speedmaster moonwatch
4.AP ROO
5.Patek Nautilus
