Which is your favourite in your collection
My collection has always comprised of 3 watches, probably because I cannot afford more.
I have a Z series SS Daytona that I have never worn. I got it because of the Daytona hype and it is a great watch. I have a V series GMT IIc which is my daily wear. But my favourite is my IWC Portuguese Chrono Automatic. The watch is beautifully designed, great dial, excellent quality better than Rolex, and weighed perfectly. I just cannot fault it in anyway.

I love all the watches that i currently own for different reasons.
One is my first, the other is my grail e.t.c. I don't use them in daily rotation because i like to wear them for long periods until something ( a beautiful pic in here for example) will make me wanna wear it. The only watch that is still with plastics and unworn is the DJII but i feel that this will not last long. They are keepers for sure. I don't know what will happens with future buys but for now i am fully covered |

My DJ for now.
I just picked up my Explorer to wear for the weekend and maybe longer. I have to admit that it felt good to put it on.

I like all of mine actually.
I wear my GMTCII on weekdays. I wear my Yacht Master and Daytona on the weekends. I am saving the DJII for more dressy or formal occaisions. I think I might just get something on a strap next. I like watches which have been done in Rose Gold. I would like to get a Patek, but more realistically it will probably be something else. I have seen some real interesting IWC's and may just get one of those.

Thanks for the reply. It maybe a awhile before I get one, so I have sometime to look around. But I'm definitely leaning that way now. They do have some pretty good looking watches.

I have 9 Rolexes.
3 - 16600 SeaDwellers 2 - 16610LV Submariner Date 1 - 116660 DeepSea 1 - 16710 GMT II 1 - 14060M Submariner 1 - 116400 Milgauss (white) And while I love all of them, and will only sell any of them if I get into a financial situation that requires their sale...........If I could keep only one of them, it would be one of the 16600 SeaDwellers. IMHO, the SeaDweller is the best watch that Rolex has ever made.

Thats a tough one! I have 11(although I am waiting for the SS Daytona to arrive). I have to lean to my TT Daytona that my wife gave me for our wedding. It is the most comfortable next to the YM and it holds so much sentimental value. The next 2 are my 1680 Sub(bought it when I was 15yrs old and took all damn summer to pay for it) and my Quartz DD given to me by my dad.

It's a tie between my Sea-Dweller and my Speedmaster Pro. Love both for different reasons, but they are probably my favorite all time watches.

Well...for me it's the 116613LN....the two tone Sub-C Black Dial...
The others get used 7x24 through the trials and tribulations of everyday life. This one comes out of it's primarily 'safe-queen' existence for special ocassions, social events, and the like...so I think subliminally I associate it with fun times...(like tonight's wedding)...!!!!

Tough question. I've been rocking the IWC lately, but would always go back to my 16610.

I love all the watches in my collection, but if I was forced to choose just one, then I think I share my choice with these guys:

I love all 4 of my watches. I alternate between the Sub C and the GMT C during the work week. I wear the Sub 16610 during the weekends. And I wear my Breitling Superocean when I go to the beach.
Thanks, Ken |

Oops. I was with you up until that sentence. That might seem like a slightly aggressive or provocative statement to make on a Rolex forum. Before you settle on that conclusion you might wish to investigate the source and the construction of the movement in the IWC compared to the Daytona, for instance, or how the numerals are embossed on the dial, or the immersion rating, or...etc. Not that there's anything wrong with the IWC, but 'quality better than Rolex'? Not by a country mile, sorry.
