The middle row gets most wrist time:

14060m 4-liner - Shortest production fun of classic subs. Great proportions which stay true to the original with engraved rehaut and the benefits of an upgraded movement.

Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe - this watch in my opinion is the ultimate tool watch / diver. Bought it with little expectations and has been a permanent fixture.

Breitling Cosmonaute ref 12322 - My grandfather wore a navitimer so it always had a soft spot for me. This one is similar to the 14060m in that the cosc version of this was relatively limited in production. Great history (first watch worn by an American astronaut in space) tritium lume, manual wind and great proportions. Try to find a 12322 full set and you will see how few there are. This one is a keeper.

King Seiko 4402-8000 - from 1966 unpolished and in almost mint condition. This is classic King Seiko and is manual wind. Perfect dress watch for me.

Looking good Blake! The Bathyscape and 14060m are my favorites. How big is the Bathyscape (43mm)? Have always wondered if I’d think it was too big. But it doesn’t look too big next to your 14060m
