The watch I wanted before I knew anyone about watches...and was given as a present without me saying anything, so sentimental too...
I love this one!
Rolex 16622 Yacht-Master. I've had three now and am very tempted by the one on SC.
This for me although my Radiomir comes in a close second
This that I picked up the other week on Amsterdam
It's getting more wrist time than my BLNR right now!
Split decision for me between my orange Super Kontiki..............
............. and 2-line Sub:
Both are 40mm which is the best size for me. Some days I prefer the simplicity of the no date versus the cyclops, but other days prefer the better quality of the Eterna's bracelet and the colour. Maybe if Rolex made the 114060 in orange on the new style bracelet they now do then that would be my perfect watch!

Wanted - Damasko DC57
Nice one. I wish they made it a tad smaller.This for me although my Radiomir comes in a close second
To be honest I don't think they wear too big. The lugs are quite small so it wear smaller than the case size might suggest. I have a 6.75" wrist and I think it looks ok on me
It looks great on you, but my wrists are sub 6.5", I can't handle that
Have you thought about the Bathyscape? A lovely watch and I think 2mm smaller than the FF
Yep. In the end I went for a 14060 and a Pelagos, so my diver slots are filled for now.
I believe there's a 40mm FF too, but it's a limited edition and goes for insane prices.
I get it now! In that case, it's this Vostok mod, made up of bits picked up from various internet sources and SC.
Rolex DSD
I'm waiting for one ( blame you for that;-)I get it now! In that case, it's this Vostok mod, made up of bits picked up from various internet sources and SC.
But at the moment Xicorr m20 polish production (seagull mechanism) based on 1959 Warszawa car clock
At the moment it's my 5024 Gondolo, though this is liable to change at any time and without reason.... ;)

I would say the £10 fake DRSD but I'm not allowed to.
Still too many pampered pooches lads, costing as much as a decent car. Come ON!
My grandfathers Bravingtons Renown, will be approx. 80yrs old this year and recently refreshed...

I wear it at least once a week. Love hearing it ticking away.

You're favourite watch is a fake? Oh dear
Also why can't your favourite watch be your rarest and/or most expensive?
Favourite constitutes a number of determining factors, of which the above can be some of them.
Also price, or rather inexpensive is relative to your own situation.
Watch at the moment is a 1938, 14ct cased Eterna...........love it!
This has always been my favourite, and all the more so since it (mostly the bracelet) saved my wrist from a case of road rash.
Got to agree with this, although for me it's a lot easier to choose my favourite child as I only have one.Might as well ask me to name my favourite child
Probably my speedy if I was really pushed on it.
Mine would be the grand Seiko spring drive diver in titanium
My fav dress watch..
My one-liner.
Super comfy, super-light with acrylic, and bizarrely accurate...
Also has the lume of a true vintage watch twice it's age!
Lovely! I have been very tempted by these for some time now.This for me although my Radiomir comes in a close second
If you get the chance I'd recommend going for it. It was the FF or a Sea Dweller for me. The FF came up first and now there's no way I'd swap it. A pleasure to wear and look at.
I'd still say one of these two.
For me its the Audemars ROO white ceramic 😍
It has to be my Sea Dweller. It's not my most worn watch at the moment but if I had to sell everything and just keep one watch it'd be this one. Sorry if it's boring but in my eyes it's a stone cold classic.
Between these two,
This has a sentimental value and is one tough son of a...
But this is just so easy to wear and not care about. It was also a mega bargain:
My Grand Seiko High Beat.
Despite owning a couple of watches that would typically be considered far more 'desirable' than this one - this is the mainstay, and gets worn almost all of the time. Very accurate, with a renowned movement, and a 'go anywhere' look and feel about it.
Currently it's this one.
A friend has the exact same watch so I have alredy tried his and will probably end up prying his away from him. Agreed it wears much nicer than a seadweller, on my wrist anyway!
Maybe a bit boring for some but this is my favourite.
Very nice! Those are pretty hard to come by in that kind of condition.Despite owning a couple of watches that would typically be considered far more 'desirable' than this one - this is the mainstay, and gets worn almost all of the time. Very accurate, with a renowned movement, and a 'go anywhere' look and feel about it.
The Sinn 556i is usually my favourite by the end of each weekend, ask myself tomorrow and I'll have had a change of favouritism though...
The PRS-29B - my second after selling the first for no good reason that I can recall.
Have watches that are hideously more expensive than this but when I wake up each morning and don't have (or want) to think what to wear it will be this thats on my wrist and that makes me a happy bunny.
My favourite has to be my Pepsi GMT bought new in 1987 - best £750 watch purchase I've made. It's been through the wars with me over the years including the bizarre paddock incident that left it looking like this.. and me slightly worse . (The damage it suffered has been fully repaired, wish I cold say the same)
Mmmm - Well, I'll wear my Sinn Arktis and Speedmaster for most things (my c. 50 year old Cosmonaute, a little less so), but if we discount those, then this one's right up there.
Valjoux 7750 powered PD/Heuer/Sinn-alike Breil Manta.

Too hard to chose a favourite....although i'm loving me SMP300 right now :)
And for a bit more colour, my Pogue.
I d say it's between omega speedmaster pro or 16710 Pepsi GMT
Love it
Extremely hard question. It's a tie break. My AP 15202 and my PAM233 take first joint place.
Given that the thread title doesn't reflect what the OP decided he meant, maybe he should change the title?
Clearly a Royal Oak and a Nautilus (or even a 'lowly'Panerai) don't fit in the 'revised' category, but could easily fit with the title and it's not really reasonable to expect everyone to read the whole thread before posting, is it?

I remember how excited you were about getting that - good to see it in fine fettle!!At the moment it's my 5024 Gondolo, though this is liable to change at any time and without reason.... ;)
