Your other watch
There are literally thousands of watches, other than Rolex, to chose from. You all must have that 'other' watch that you like. I like watches that are a little out of the ordinary. With the emphasis on little. Not a Graham Chronofighter for instance
This is one of the 'other' watches I like. By fairly unknown maker Paul Picot. It is Le Plongeur Type C Chronograph. Just solid watchmaking with a twist. A happy watch, to be worn strolling the streets of Nice What is your 'other' watch?

Straight Rolex for me. Unless you want to count Tudor, but it never gets wrist time.

I gotta go with Breguet... Just too much class and heritage there, the parts they develop are used in many, many other watches. IMHO, Breguet is a true master of classy complications while not being fragile.

Along with Rolex, my favorite brand is A. Lange & Sohne. And my favorite of theirs is the Richard Lange...a/k/a "my grail"
For a little out of the ordinary, I'm lusting after this diver:

Great responses, keep 'em coming! The original Ulysse Nardin 1846 Marine Chronometer is also one of my all-time favourites!

I've got a soft spot for the Corum LEs, in particular the Joker chrono which I just missed out on at a bargain price.

My other fav is Panerai.
Seiko's are the best watch for the money in the world.... My lady likes Cartier (bought for her) My next one, who knows. I'm really liking the idea of a fifty fathoms....

My other favorite watch is my Skyland, I don't see too many of these on a leather strap.

being a general contractor/tradesman my 'other watch' is at the opposite end of the spectrum. it is a G-Shock 'GIEZ' GS 1000BJ 1AJF. i almost went with a Marathon TSAR however i was worried about its high profile recieving too much punishment to last very long

My other watch is my Omega Seamaster I got the day I got engaged.
As far as what I would like to have as the alternative to my SD? Any of these will do.
