non rolex watches for rolex fan(atics)

Hi fellow Rolex fans and fanatics,
Show me some of your favorite NON rolex watches that you own or would like to own.
-
I’ll start by showing you a couple.
This is the Formex 39 Essence, which I’ve had my eye on for about a year and the Omega Railmaster, which I've always liked and thought about buying but never pulled the trigger.
Thanks!

Here are some that have caught my eye and I've seriously contemplated. Made a juicy collage out of them. Images are not my own.

BB58: Does Tudor count?? Love the BB58 blue.
Zenith El Primero 38: Classic size, beautiful dial, great heritage. Would buy instantly if they put their new chronomaster movement in it, featuring hacking.
GS SBGW231: Clean, elegant, beautiful case, wonderful caseback. Perfect dimensions. Strap monster.
VC Traditionelle: Perfect PM dress piece. Love everything about it.

The Railmaster is just awesome, a great watch, it’s next up on rotation so will be getting some wrist time throughout July.

I'm fond of my Grand Seikos and my Balls. I really love the tritium lumes on the Balls and the precision of the GSs.

The Formex Essence 39 is really cool, and perhaps packs more value than anything at its price point, and it's been getting some pretty consistent raves.

Saw this switch in Forum coming right from the start; I'm surprised it lasted as long as it did in the mail Rolex forum. Really no place in that forum as it's a non-Rolex thread!!!

And, once Balls were involved, it digressed at an even faster rate .

That was funny, thanks for the laugh

The watch I like the most of all the watches I have owned and currently own, is this SeaQ from GO:

OK, blame me for owning Balls; criminee, can't we act like adults??? (Clearly not) I guess I should said Ball Watches to avert the catastrophe.

No, no, this was much, much better. You averted something better than catastrophe: you averted boredom.

The difference between men and boys is not their age but the price of their toys.
