Your favourite reasonably priced non-Rolex watch you own

I'm sure a lot of us own watches other than Rolex. Just like the title says, let's see pictures of those watches that you really enjoy that share wrist time with your Rolex.

Even though the brand takes a beating among WISs, I've found mine to be extremely reliable, durable and very well made. I also have a 19 year old 2000 series that I now use at the gym that still looks great.

Interestingly, I get more complements and stares on this one than my Yachtmaster which pretty much flies under the radar.

Nice tag I had a brown one a few years back.

Love my BBN almost as much as my twice as expensive subc. Also love Grady's new BB36, if it was 39mm I would have at it.

My Tag Heuer Formula 1 Grande Alarm.

Bought 5 years ago when my little boy was born and apart from a new battery, it has been bullet proof.

I'm in the process of getting rid of all of my mechanicals, outside of my Exp II, but there's one I'll always keep around, just in case. The classic F-91W...$9.

Its a toss up between the blue Tudor Pelagos and the speedy 3570. The edge probably going to the speedmaster. It really is a legendary watch and amazing value. The Pelagos has the same amazing value imo but less of the history.

My Tag Formula 1 has been on equal rotation since I bought a Sub. Just can't bear to park it for very long. Guess I'm the guy who still drives his Jeep on the regular even after buying a new Audi.

Other watches in the stable include a Tag pro 2000 and a Seiko 007. Pondering a Marathon TSAR next...

I love my Oris Aquis Date 40mm. Ceramic Bezel, Saphire crystal/case back, 300m water resistance make it hard to beat, in my opinion, for the price. Plus I have found mine to be pretty accurate.

I wore a CWC quartz divers watch everyday for 20 years but the post office lost it when it was sent for a service, brilliant watch.

At $150, this gets equal time with all my other (more expensive) watches:

Much more charm than the Daytona, which didn't get bought.
