Depending on the mood, one of three Rolex watches: Gold President, S/S white face Daytona or Black Bezel GMT Master.

Daily wearers:

Frank Muller - Endurance GT Split Seconds Chrono (My favorite watch...very low key yet complicated)
Carl F Bucherer - Patravi T-Graph (can't beat this one for the money...it has a great case)
Graham - Chronofighter (gets attention like few other watches...this is my answer to Panerai which is also a great watch)

I am a big fan of Breguet, Parmigiani, Vacheron, Lange, Dubuis and collect watches that catch my eye but not necessarily the eyes of others.

I was at a dealer yesterday ogling a Dubuis Excalibur Double Tourbillon...gotta love a watch that cost as much as an SL65. Now if only I had a few million for a Patek Calibre 89...a watch collector's wet dream!

Ah, another Panerai fan

Here's an old shot of my collection, a PAM 005, 088, and a Rolex Submariner:

I'm still too young to buy my watch, Breitling Bezel out.

My friend is a direct wholeseller for Aqua Master Watches. I can get a 15k Aqua Master Watch for 2.5k.

I've heard a lot about Omega, but they're not too popular in the U.S.

I have three Breitling watches. Considering my work clothes are sweat pants and a sweat shirt (perk of being owner/CEO), I rarely touch watches. They're just like new in their yellow boxes. I much prefer getting the time from my cell phone... and I can play Monopoly too.

Uh, go back and reread my post! I collect Vacheron as well with my most spectacular piece being their first dedicated wristwatch...the c. 1912 time only with porcelain dial and wire lugs on the case. They are VERY rare and stunners even if you are not into vintage watches which I am not.
