I think most makers have at least something that appeals to me as well as probably many that do not. I think my big three favorites are Rolex, Breitling and Omega. These are some of the favorites from my collection.
I have owned several Breitlings over the years from a Seawolf Titanium to a SuperOcean. But this Avenger B01 Chrono is a real favorite that I consider a real keeper.
