Here's my stable of working watches.

1. Timex Expedition Chrono T42351
2. Timex Expedition Chrono T45951
3. Timex Expedition Chrono T42331
4. Timex Expedition Chrono T42361
5. Timex Expedition Chrono T45941
6. Timex Chrono
7. Invicta 8926
8. Invicta 8926C
9. Hamilton Khaki Field Quartz
10. Casio Waveceptor Analog
11. Casio G-Shock MT-G920A
12. Citizen Eco-Drive BM6060-57F
13. Citizen Eco-Drive Calibre 8700
14. ESQ Quest Chrono
15. Pulsar Chrono #PF3353
16. Rolex Explorer Z

I've been looking closely at the Omega line recently as my next purchase, but something happened to me when I bought the Explorer.

My whole philosophy of timekeeping changed.

I still have a strong appreciation for inexpensive, quartz watches, but when I made that huge jump into the prestige market, everything in between now seems extravagant. However, I have never thought of my Explorer as extravagant.

I admit to being in a bit of a quandary.

What happens when you realize that you've bought the quintessential Rolex?

Watch Nirvana, I guess.

Several Casio G Shock models, primarily for outdoor sports activities (running, jogging). Most have multiple time zone support and solar power.

I LOVE my orange monster. The lume on that watch is unlike any watch I've ever seen :)

In addition to my Rolex EXP II, I have an Omega Seamaster Professional, a Tag and several Seiko watches. I admit, I mostly buy the watch that catches my eye. Cheers, Bill P.
