That would be IWC.

I had a "Doppelchronograph" once.

Very nice watch, indeed!

Next favourite is JlC.

Last (least) favourite is Omega.

Patek (one of the few brands that go UP in price as you walk out the door with them), IWC (because when Forbes Magazine polled its top 500 wealthiest, IWC was far and away their favorite watch - and with all that money, they must know something I don't), and Breguet (because their client list includes Napoleon).

For me, Panerai is a fad, and one that won't last. Their watches are comically big and clunky and are destined to look as dated as the Movado ultra thin quartz watches of the eighties. Omega can't measure up to Rolex and will always be second class, no matter how much money they give Cubby Brocolli's family.

So that's my list, and it's only in my humble opinion, by the way.

I like my Panerai, I'm big enough where it looks normal sized on me.

I think I want a Mark XVI IWC but I need to see it in person first.

Glashutte too!

Don't have three unfortunately... but Patek and Panerai are my other favorites outside of Rolex. If I had to pick another, I'd have to say Omega because of the Speedmaster. Great watch.
