Still have a Luminox for rough/harsh situations, Panerai doesn't really smile at me. Not counting Tudor here because of their close ties to Rolex.

While I don't own any of these, I've tried some of them on and almost bought them. They are next on my list:

JLC (love the Master Calender or 8 days)
IWC ( Spitfire or latest St Ex)
Blancpain (Leman moonphase)

Tom, those are beautiful pictures of gorgeous watches. Not to hijack this thread, but do you get a chance to use them at all?

This is just a couple of my favorites. I have quite a few pocket watches. The one I wear most is just a simple open face 17 jewel Illinois in a Sterling silver case. The 14k white gold one is like new with box and papers so it stays in it's box. The Gold railroad one is one of my favorites and I do sometimes wear it. It is rather unusual in that it is a railroad movement in a solid gold case.

Very, very coooool. I have an old Hamilton that's nowhere near the condition of your watches, but it was my granddad's and I love it. Just hard to find an occasion to wear it, is all.

But yours are magnificent. Thanks for the pics.

1. Glashütte Original
2. A. Lange & Söhne
3. Panerai

I've plunked down a deposit on a GO SE GMT. Unfortunately, it's still not available in the United States yet so who knows when one will land on my wrist.

I have many cool old time pieces, so my pic would have to be;
1. Accutron Astronaut GMT
2. Seiko 5 yellow face
3. Lemania Chronograph (1930's)
4. Timex (duty watch)

After my GMTII of course ;-)

BTW- Howdy!

Patek Philippe, Longines, and last but not least, Girard Perregaux.

Wow, its kinda hard to believe that Girard Perregaux is not mentioned a lot in this thread. They have a limited edition model that was built solely for Ferrari.
