Mine

1 Nomos Tangente

[chrisparker]

Omega Speedmaster Pro

[cmcm3]

Rolex Submariner - Any of them

Rolex GMT

[swatch]

Dreadnought PRS2

[break-3]

Big fan of the Maurice Lacroix Masterpiece Squelette. I know any skeleton is a Marmite - this is probably the only one I've ever liked.

[Broussard]

The Bremont Supermarine 500 (due out in November, I think)



M

[Jim71]

Omega Seamaster :)

[Jayo]

There is no doubt: Rolex Deepsea

[matts]

Seamaster Pro (almost a repeat and yet not!)

[MartinCRC]

For me 'best' also means 'of classic design' and so I submit the following:

Seiko 6105-8110



Martin

[MartinCRC]

and Seiko 6309-7040



Martin

[brownip]

Omega Constellation Pie pan Dial 561 movement.

[Parabola]

Sinn U1 any of them but here is an SDR

[Ric356II]

I've had many watches but the one I won't get rid of is the Oris Divers Date so I'd have to vote for that one :)

Oris Divers Date

[PeterM]

And surely the GMTIIC as well

[Tooks]

Seiko 300m Tuna...

[zambo]

All great choices ... but any more in the vintage class out there to stake a position on the list?

I'll go out on a limb and put up one of my old IWC's from the 70's - this candidate is more based upon the quality of the movement - cal 8541b. The Pellaton movement, some say, is the best all around auto movement ever made and powered IWC through decades of success. And 40 years on they still out perform most new movements if accuracy is your thing.

This heart powered the much coveted Yacht Club (albeit with some little rubber shock absorbers added).

At the moment:



Superb chrono movement, power reserve from another world... and I just like the design ;-)

[zambo]

The AT 3536 is a cracker - a real Sub beater (sorry to the Sub owners) and in the titanium, a lovely thing on the wrist.

[kandyman]

And surely the GMTIIC as well

i second that

[gerard]

Seiko World Time 1964

[Tooks]

Did everybody read the OP?! :roll: :evil:

[ibby7]

Hmm..... :icescream:

[Shashlyk]

Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra (I guess any model would do, but this is mine):


Every time someone asks 'I need a sporty/ dressy watch that's also fairly solid', the Aqua Terra is generally somewhere in the last of recommendations

[gee-whizz]

If I hadnt read the OP it would be this

BUT, as I have I will have to find something else ive owned and it will have to be this.

[Hasan]

PAM 127

[neox]

And surely the GMTIIC as well

very beautiful watch :)

[unwittingaccomplice]

Speedmaster automatic date for me. Specifically one with the 1469 bracelet as it is more adjustable than the newer one. 38mm width, 18mm lugs so fits under cuffs but also goes with jeans. Pick a colour, I have had a blue day-date, a black one with silver dial surrounds (a bit bling for me) and my current favourite, a green one.



(yes it was for sale but I withdrew it)

[alanski]

surely this has to be one of them :)

[SimonH]

Breitling B1

I also think these are damn fine watches - you could wear one anywhere and it would suit.

[miked10270]

Zenith Chrongraph?..

Any of them... But particularly:

[mr1973]

The worlds first quartz chrono:

Now how cool is that? Never seen one before!

[AshUK]

Suprised not to see the WIS 'Marmite'. Love it or hate it, the PloProf should be here!

[Daddelvirks]

That Seiko is indeed a rare customer 8)
Never seen it before.
Any movement pics?

I don't, but if you google Seiko 7A38 movement and click on images you will find some. 17 jewels, all-metal gears, 4 step-motors - they don't make them like this anymore!

now you know where AP got their design inspiration for their Royal Oaks!

[mistermustard]

By my reckoning this is #38 (or #12 if it's a countdown list).

Anyway, I vote for the Breitling Chronomat - I love it.

[stefanauz]
