I have pondered this question many times. Those of you that have collections of different manufacturers timepieces don't really have to think about this... but let's say you only had a Rolex, or your collection was soley Rolex. A metorite passes close to the Earth, and it's unique metalic magnatism causes all the world's Rolexes to fly in to outer space... and no more can be made...ever. Ok, so it's a dumb scenerio but you get my point. If you could not have a Rolex what is your second choice watch?

I think I would go with... Brietling?.... Hublot?.... Omega?

Question of the day to ponder: If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it, why did it fall in the first place?

gmtobsessed · 8 August 2008, 08:38 PM

I would go for IWC

Davvan · 8 August 2008, 08:40 PM

Hublot Big Bang all the way!!!

toph · 8 August 2008, 08:41 PM

Tony-GB · 8 August 2008, 09:00 PM

I'd have a Nautic Fish!

BREITLING Emergency.

Rockrolex · 8 August 2008, 11:30 PM

Considering that I pretty much alternate between my GMT-II and this,

I guess I would say the Breitling Olympus would be my second choice.

lorsban · 9 August 2008, 12:03 AM

That would be a tough call. For me, either a VC Overseas, AP Royal Oak or an IWC Ingenieur. All in SS with silver dials.

gmh1013 · 9 August 2008, 12:05 AM

I already have 4 Omegas so Omega is my choice

SLS · 9 August 2008, 12:07 AM

You should be bannned for such a thought!

Might be just the reason I need to pick up a Pam though!

I love the Omega Speedmaster and the Breitling Navitimer but I think I would have to go for Blancpain. Specifically the Fifty Fathoms.

sea-dweller · 9 August 2008, 12:53 AM

It would have to be an Omega, although I have never owned one. TruRolexer
says it best below :

veefour · 9 August 2008, 04:45 AM

I wouldn't go for any other high end brand. But would do with some Hamilton, Ball...

Oh yes, and some vintage Tudor as well

folexhater · 9 August 2008, 04:47 AM

Tudor! The closest to a Rolex!

The Ulysse Nardin Marine Chronometer 1846 in SS with the white enamel dial

To me, a watch of great beauty and refinement. And no longer made

breitling with leather strap!

cal.3186vs335i · 9 August 2008, 05:14 AM

Chronomat Evolution model 164

nsatibl · 9 August 2008, 05:36 AM

Panerai

DSJ · 9 August 2008, 07:10 AM

Only one brand? Omega.

If I were buying from scratch and there was no such thing as Rolex, I think my watches would be a SMP and PP - maybe a JLC Reverso until I could afford the PP.

Spark · 9 August 2008, 07:13 AM

Patek Philippe Nautilus for me
