Ok guys. I know this is generally a Rolex Forum, but most of us have something else. Let's see your favorite non-Rolex watch that you own. For me, it would be my Seiko BM. I can't thank Johnny enough for talking me into pulling the trigger on this one

Well, for me it's gotta be Ol' Faithful, the granddaddy of the BM:

I think for me it's gotta be this one:



But then there's this one (which I happen to be wearing right now):



Tough choice.

Thanks, Paulie. I really like the Tutima. You're right, it is pretty uncommon around here

Thanks, Craig. It's my second favorite dress watch. I love the rose gold color (and, of course, the complications ).

Quite fond of this Vixa, gets a fair amount of wrist time,and for the price of less than £200, a high quality, and very accurate watch.Now a discontinued L/A model

My favourite non-Rolex? I only have one Rolex and it's no longer the favourite in my collection.

So the fave is this one:







And of course, the three amigos...

Who needs a crown when you have a patented guard?

This is my favorite non-Rolex in the daily rotation:


but this sneaks in on lawn-mowing day (it alternates between the OEM rubber strap, OEM steel bracelet, and orange Bros. Geo-Tech strap


and even these two get quartz watches get some play

This is a tough one. But I will go with the Fiver as I'm still in the honeymoon phase. Right now I have the black rubber strap on it. ( Sorry no pic of this strap yet)

I only have non Rolex but I pick between these three daily. I like the fact that most think they are identical, to Paneristi, they are worlds apart.


Been wearing this one to feel some bracelet love...


And like this one on the rubber strap for the summer but also have a OEM Bracelet coming for it.

I was very pleasantly suprised about the rubber strap. I think this will be my choice for holidays. Pool/Lake ready, yet it doesn't look cheap for wearing around town

Have to agree with Paulie. Just received mine Wednesday, and it is definitely a keeper! Been wearing it ever since. I had been wearing a Casio Quartz Diver (not a bad watch, mind you), but it pales in comparison to this "Monster".

Daren, you just need a 114, a 176, a 000logo and a 219 to make your base collection complete. You're only halfway there, mate.
