Is it a wet dream Ceej?
 Top class pick and the pictures are a nice touch. I'll publish my list later but the dive watch is a Comex Sea Dweller in unused condition, serial number 1960.

Ok - I've done this pretty quick so reserve the right to change my mind! All photos are borrowed with thanks to the owners/photographers. Dive watch British Military Submariner 5517 (Ok, I know this is a bit cheeky but I had to get it in somewhere!)  GMT watch 6542 GMT  Alarm watch PAM98  Dress watch JLC Reverso  Chronograph watch 6240 Daytona  General sports watch PAM4A  Beater watch 5513 Submariner  Can I just add one extra category? Favourite watch to get if you had the money? Mine would be a 6538 Goldfinger Sub (minus the gun!) (pic courtesy of Ed Delgado)

I'm too worn out looking at all of these fabulous watches to even list mine. Maybe later, after a drink or two...

A tough question, and again these would be tentative answers:
Dive watch - I don't dive so the GO Sport Evo would do the trick here (not my picture).  GMT watch - I would take Launch Mini's Pam 98!  Alarm watch - UN Sonata Cathedral. I'm glad to see this is choice of several of you here and I hope my pictures helped with that choice!   Dress watch - this vintage Patek is my dream dress watch - the one on the right of course (not my picture).   Chronograph watch - GO Panomatic Chronograph - this is one stunning watch. (I have to say that the JLC Amvox 2 and the Lange Datograph would be alternate choices, but for now the GO wins out since I've had it on my wrist as shown below).     General Sports watch - not sure what to put here so I'll put the Amvox 2 in to cover my bases on the chrono as well (not my picture).  Beater watch - UN 1846 Marine Chronometer (would prefer roman dial to this one).

Great pix guys!
Shane, love that reverso... Truth be told, it would be next on my list after the ones I mentioned. Also, if I put in a category for perpetual calendar, I'd go for the Glashutte Original Senator Perpetual Calendar. Gorgeous watch! |
