I have been using only automatic movement watches for a while. Something about the highly complex work of art movements.
This is my latest acquisition, Hamilton Jazzmaster that uses Automatic ETA Cal 2824-2 movement.

haha, to show my cheapness. here's a couple of mine:
i've got about 9 watches, apparently i only have two on my FB account for photos, so i'll have to get on that. the newest one is the first picture. and you won't guess how much i paid for it.

Breitling Navitimer and recently bought a Breitling Superocean.
Everyday watches I have a few automatic Invictas, automatic Seikos, Sector, Movado kingmatic, and a automatic Longines.
The next watch I have my eye on is the Vacheron Constantin collection. There's a few I have seen that I like.
I also have a automatic Hamilton Khaki with the all steel band, silver face, skeleton back for sale if anyone is interested, willing to sell it for a very good deal since I barely wear it.

Personally, I don't like Breitling at all, except of course Navitimer World. On the other hand, I have owned Omega Planet Ocean since 2006 - excellent watch, I love it. Great value for money too, despite on its somewhat generic caliber (from ETA). Although, on this photo, it's the limited edition with ceramic bezel and they only make those in 42mm, which is a bit small and a bit weird proportionally because of 15mm thickness. Mine is 45.4, which I think is better looking. I wish Omega would release the 45.4mm version with ceramic bezel as well - I would trade mine in a sec :\

A watch thread! Oooooh, I love watches and jewelery 
Here is my collection;
I like to have a bracelet made to match my watches, I've got a great jeweler here in Dubai that does a good job and making items exactly as I draw them. Right to left;
>TAG Auquaracer Automatic (daily driver) and brushed white gold bracelet with black onyx stones.
>TAG Auquaracer Chronograph Automatic re-finished in 18K and a diamond set at the top of the bezel, the 18K gold bracelet matches my neck chain.
>TAG Monaco Automatic with crocodile strap (my favorite watch) with white gold bengal braclet and a channel of black diamonds (favorite bracelet too).
>Rolex Submariner, got this as a gift, only wear it when I golf. Nice watch but I'm not a big rollie fan, that's my Dad's department.
>Fake (but unbelievable build quality) Omega Casino Royale Seamaster, big fan of the 007 movies but would never spend the money on a real one, this one was also a gift.
>TAG Auquaracer, wife's watch with matching gold bracelet with over 300 little individual diamonds (birthday gifts in '09 and '10).
>Gucci with leather band, my first 'luxury' watch I bought back in 2000.
One more watch to buy then I'll call it quits for a while...
Obviously watches and jewelery are my 'main' vice
