Rolex

Looking to add Grand Seiko, JLC, or Glashutte Original in to the mix in the future.

Rolex
Omega
Jaeger LeCoultre
Zenith
Grand Seiko
This is an achievable list for me across different milestones. I secretly admire ALS and AP, but can never get myself to pony up to buy these two.

jaychief · 21 September 2020, 05:00 AM

Rolex, AP, Garmin, Panerai, Patek

Patton250 · 21 September 2020, 05:04 AM

Patek
AP
Vacheron
Rolex
Breguet

Of course there are lots of other great ones.

daOnlyBG · 21 September 2020, 05:04 AM

Okay, as of now, here are the results based on qualified responses:

Rolex, 21.78%
Patek Philippe, 9.90%
Omega, 9.41%
Jaeger-LeCoultre, 8.91%
Audemars Piguet, 7.92%

joli160 · 21 September 2020, 05:05 AM

Not a must, but would i like to own a Groneveld

isgrb · 21 September 2020, 05:09 AM

Rolex
Sinn
Omega
IWC
Lange

That was an easy one for me although Glashutte is narrowly sitting on the outside of that circle

I love those Ebels. Really cool looking watch design...

I buy a watch according to what I like, what fits my lifestyle, what is easy to wear, and what looks good on my wrist. Brands are not nearly as important.

That said, here are the brands of the watches I own and wear:

Patek
FP Journe
Rolex
Omega
Heuer
Oris
Casio

I continue to try to find a Lange that I absolutely love, but I’m not there yet. Same with AP and VC. Some are close, but would not replace the watches I have, and that is the requirement that I use now because I want to keep my collection manageable and only buy what I really want to wear, not just to collect and own like a museum.

This is a funny exercise, because I own a Panerai and left that brand out, but don’t own an AL&S or JLC. I hope to some day!

Really surprised so few people included A. Lange & Söhne in their Top 5 and went for VC instead.

Top five: PP, AP, ALS, Rolex, Cartier

Dr. Robert · 21 September 2020, 06:05 AM

Only three: Rolex, Tudor & G Shock

LOWERCASE GUY · 21 September 2020, 06:06 AM

Not including the holy trinity or Rolex/Omega

Glashutte Original - Panomaticlunar
IWC - Portugieser Chrono
Zenith - El Primero 1969
Jeager LeCoultre - Small Seconds Reverso
Grand Seiko - Snowflake

That was tough, i'll probably change my mind by next week but I picked the brands on my current grail list. I MUST have them in my collection.

Honorable mentions to ;

Breitling - Navitimer &
Cartier - Santos

aes7.5x55 · 21 September 2020, 06:07 AM

This will probably change going forward, but for now I would say:
Rolex
Omega
JLC
Panerai
Timex (sentimental favorite from my grandfather)

I only have 3 of the 5 currently. I have work to do!
