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!
Great post. Can you please elaborate? How do you not consider Panerai a must have if you thought highly enough of it to already have it? Are ALS and JLC actually attainable for you... or just “wish” brands? Thank you for your thoughtful post.

I guess if I have to choose a fifth it’ll be Panerai.

I enjoy threads like this because when it randomly pops up in a few years I’ll see how much my tastes have changed. I know I didn’t even start this year with these five.

Rolex, patek, jlc, zenith, tbh. I do like breitling. The top time, the cosmonaut first watch in space iirc. But very good argument to be made for omega too.

I know one of these brands didn't catch your eye until a few weeks ago
