choose your 3 favorite watches from other brands

Lets play this game:

your 3 favorite watches from 3 different brands only. Not more than 1 of each brand! I make it myself very difficult to limit to only 1 Rolex as it is by far my most liked brand but.. We should enjoy other brands too
Don't look pricing details, just choose what you really really like.

My first :
216570 polar, which i think is a very original and cool watch. True for every cool gentleman.

2nd :

Omega Seamaster Planetocean 600m 215.30.44.21.03.001

3d
AP15202ST.OO.1240ST.01

Unbelieveble difficult limiting to only 1 Rolex

I will add to the challenge and exclude Rolex as that is how I understood your title-plus I am only considering pieces within the realm of possibility for me:

1-JLC: Reverso Classic Duoface

2-VC Overseas 4500 Blue dial

3-GP Laureato (just because it’s not a RO or Nautilus)

Grand Lange 1 Lumen Moonphase platinum with transparent dial and lumed numbers.

The Terraluna is really cool, but the dial is too busy for me. Otherwise, that technology would be the winner for me.

If I were to have three pieces from three other brands, it would be the three that I listed. There's something so cool about that Seamaster 300... The thin bezel, the black & gilt...

1. Omega Sedna FOIS
2. JLC Duometre Quantieme Lunaire (RG w/white solid dial)

I don't have a third. The others on my list are either Omega or Rolex.

All I really need is a dress watch, a sports watch, and a beater for when things get ugly... Sticking to what I like to wear I'd only replace my Patek 3998P w the unobtainable Philippe Dufour Duality...

Philippe Dufour Duality - Dress Watch
Patek 5711/1A - Sports Watch
IWC Mark XV - Beater

Instead of the Patek 5711/1A the 3700 or 5712/1A would work as well.
