I'll do my current top 5, in no particular order:

My apologies and thanks to the photographers of these shots. I had them saved as favourites on my HD, so have no idea where most of them are from.

👍

My wife just saw this post and "vetoed" the Ploprof and Milgauss. 😒

My wife just saw this post and "vetoed" the Ploprof and Milgauss. 😒

That's funny. The green saphire milgauss is my wife's dream watch. At the time I was buying her a Christmas present it was out if stock and not going to be in any time soon. She decided on the white dial one. It looks great also. I always tell her one day I'll put the extra links back in so I could wear it also. It's been over a year already and still haven't had a chance.

I love the new PO chrono. I'm not sure I could afford one any time soon though. I have to get used to these new Omega prices.

The new ceramic sub is nice also. I finally had a chance to try one on. I like it much more than the previous generation. The only thing irony like is that the bracelet rappers so much near the clasp.

Surprised she didn't like the milguass considering how close it is to your old datejust, was it just the green crystal she didn't like?

I would definitely say the rolex sub and luckily the seamaster I own now.


Two classic designs that will never go out of style.

Have you seen the other 1957 50th anniversary edition with manual wind? Its possibly the prettiest movement ever to be used in a Speedmaster

The one I like is the "Patch", I'm sure that the other 1957 LE (311.33.42.50.01.001) has a Co-Axial escapement.

For me, my most wanted list is as follows: (not my own pics)

1) Speedmaster Pro



2) Explorer II 216570 Black dial



3) Planet Ocean w/cal. 8500, orange bezel



4) Panerai PAM210



I think those would do for me!

Is the orange / black bezel non-liquid metal? Looks like matte dial and aluminium insert, BUT it has the applied numbers of the LM.

I'm not certain - the Titanium model definitely looks ceramic, but the steel could well be aluminium. Needs some investigating, I think!

#1: Omega Speedmaster Professional Cal 321 Vintage 1967, Manly, badass, moonwatch, with timeless style.



#2 Rolex Submariner 1680/8 18k blue dial, Cool beyond belief, gold, badass, with Gold Coast street cred, colour change dials are even better. Worn by Lloyd Bridges, not rappers.



#3 Rolex Milgauss GV, modern, high tech, beautiful



#4 Rolex Daytona Zenith Movement 16520 Vintage 1987 (birth year) Porcelain dial on brushed bracelet, the ultimate SS modern Daytona, the most beautiful dial Rolex has ever made for the Daytona, and the rarest of all Daytona with under 400 produced, even more unique than the Paul Newman



#5 Patek Phillip 5970P, Its hard not to aspire to a Patek chronograph, and this one would be my favorite. This is also the model stolen by a hooker in a hotel room from Charlie Sheen.

I do like Lange, but I'm not out-there enough for one of those though I sort of wish I was 😉 Reminds me a bit of watches like the UN Freak where you have to have the personality to pull off something that high end and unique.

I do like Lange & Sohne, if I'm ever in a position to buy an ultra-high end watch, they'd be my choice. I'd love a Datograph, if anything for the movement - quite possibly the most beautiful movement I've ever seen

100% on the Datograph, the movement looks amazing, strange as this may sound it reminds me of Lt. Commander Data's brain from Star Trek: TNG.

The crispness of every line and edge is just amazing, even the pushers have a bevel on their edge.
