It would have to be Omega, really into the vintage 70s offerings.
I have read so much divided opinion on what is hot and what is not and often wondered what the split of ACTUAL watches the residents of this fine forum OWN. Now I appreciate that many of us will have multiple brands but would like you to select the watch that is your Primary Brand OWNED, not the one you like best but the one you own the most of or within your collection consider to be No 1.
Apologies in advance for the ones Ive missed but I am restricted to 10 Options so I have chose what is considered the 10 for this survey.

It would have to be Omega, really into the vintage 70s offerings.
Out of my 6 main watches I have 2 Timefactors and 2 Damasko.
F.T.F.A.
Omega for me too, mainly cause its my best watch!!!
Main watch is an Omega. Or a Longines. But I wear an IWC a lot Except on weekends when it's the Rolex. Or the Citizen...
Rolex - Obviously for me.
But given my name on here Omega is a close(ish) second.
Rolex makes up almost 50% of my collection
Omega around 25%
With lots of single items and a few Precista.
It's just a matter of time...
Omega is my main watch.
Very close 2nd is my Rolex GMT. (only one of 2 keepers..the other is an Invicta)
Soft spot for Citizen and G-Shock (lift and go, no worries)
Four Rolex; five others.
+1 they owned it man 8)Originally Posted by MrLion
Omega - previously had only Speedmasters, then switched to Seamasters.
Now, I'm thinking Speedies might be the way to go... :)
2 Rolex, 2 Omega, 1 Breitling, 1 Tag, 1 Seiko, 1 Welsbro, 1 Casio, 1 Garmin, 1 unbranded custom. So the answer is Rolex and Omega tied.
Currently:
JLC MC Navy Seals
Rolex Explorer I
Sinn Arktis
Sinn UXS
Handful of vintage (JLC, GP etc)
A few PAM homages pending going back down that road......
(DB 99.1 on order so cannot claim that until May '12 ish)
Having had a couple of Rolex (sequentially) & nothing else for 20 years before the bug bit hard & the buying/flipping/trimming back again, have felt that whilst it's definitely nice to have one now, i don't want it to be the primary.
I used to be Doxa, now it's Rolex. Can't see me moving onto a 3rd :)
I have more Casio than anything else but the most often worn (and therefore my choice) is Time Factors.
Edit: I now have 10 Eddie watches so there's no lack of choice...
Well I've slimmed my collection down so now don't own multiples of any one brand. The watch I wear more than any other, most days actually, is a Rolex 'Date' from 2002. Although this may be usurped very soon by a Jaeger LeCoultre Reverso 'Classique'. :)
Boooo, no Tudor! Sinn second on quantity.
Omega for me
Whilst I love my Rolex Deepsea, my Panerai give me the most enjoyment :) .
no Zenith :shock: :cry:
I went Omega as they are my second :wink:
I went for Breitling SOP is my main wearer , have a Longines Dress watch and a vintage Omega Seamaster (currently on SC) that doesn't get worn
I voted Sinn, but only because I couldn't vote Longines or Glycine
My Omega Grail is my no.1 watch followed by my 666 Sea Dweller.
Dont look back, youre not heading that way.
I'd imagine that most watches on here will be around the £1-10,000 range with around half of that coming in at 5 grand and on that playing field the biggest name in the Game is Rolex so that to me would be my #1 and is my #1 in my collection.
Has to be Rolex for me every time.
Two Pams, 2 Tudors, the rest just singles.
So voted Pam as Tudor's not an option anyway.
I own more Omegas than Rolex, hence I voted for Omega. When I was a kid, I didn“t know about Rolex, but Omega was the aspirational watch for the middle class. A gold Omega, in particular....
BTW I own all brands except Sinn... :?
4 Seikos out of 9 - SKX007J; SKX013; SCVS013; and 1 Seiko 5
Most often worn - 38mm Hamilton Khaki Field (review in Reviews section for anyone interested!)
Every man needs at least one little Sinn :twisted:Originally Posted by angeche

Favourite at the moment is my Bremont MB 2 but not on list....Bah
Next - Steinhart Nav B chrono.....Bah
Next - Seiko chrono...win
Next - Rolex Air King...
Then selection of Swatch, old Tissot and my issued CWC Pilot watch
Not that I suppose it's much interest compared to some of the collections that others have - 4 of Eddie's, a Seiko and my most costly watch, a Tutima. I've had two jewellers admire my Speedbird, my partner likes my Everest and the Tutima is excellent for timing simulation exercises but no one ever notices or remarks on it.
Leave off the Tag on Heuer and you've got me. :mrgreen:
I answered Omega as I have 5 but three of those are pocket watches; I suppose it's easier (or rather more affordable) to have multiple Omegas. I too would have liked a Tudor option as I have two and one of these, a snowflake, is my favourite watch.
In the Sotadic Zone, apparently.
Rolex (Tudor):
1680 Sub Date
16750 GMT-Master
1675 Brown Nipple
16570 T>25 Explorer II
9401/0 Tudor Snowflake Sub
You know me mate, Rolex and Tudor all the way - might drop a seamaster in shortly or a MM300.
Surprised not to see Christopher Ward in there though ;)
The Limit is 10 options so I chose the usual suspects, we could do another poll on the 'other rans'!

Nah, no point :DOriginally Posted by 100thmonkey
I have four Omegas (all pre 1970) and assorted others so voted Omega, but I mostly wear a PRS 53.
Grand Seiko, Tag Heuer x2, Precista, Magrette, Rolex and Bell & Ross is inbound. Grand Seiko is the king of the collection
TF and proud of it 8)
Its like Dawn of the Zombies around here ...
Good luck everybody. Have a good one.
+1, no tudor so i went for timefactors. thr prs-22 is probably my most worn watch with the dressy vintage tudor prince my dressier "going out" watch.Originally Posted by benny.c

marchingontogether!
Ummm.... not one single one of the options listed in the vote.
I suppose that make me weird... no wait a minute , the word i was looking for was FOCUSED.
VINTAGE HEUER all the way !!!
Difficult to select one brand. I was steered to picking Rolex by the questionnaire because i have a couple but I equally consider my Bremont as top of the tree as my first "special" watch and there wasn't even an option for Bremont.
Timefactors here too (PRS3LE), although I actually have 2 Citizens, a Seiko, a Precista, a Bentima, and a Casio. The Citizens are a beater and a keeper (for sentimental reasons). The Seiko (and possibly one of the Citizens) will be going shortly, hopefully to be replaced with another of Eddie's.
Thought there would be more love for the SINN
Hmmmm.... The six JLCs win the numbers battle but it would be a toss up between my PP Aquanaut and the jLC Polaris as to favourite.
Other.
Omega for me.
I own 3, one of which, my first proper vintage watch is incomming.
Apart from quantity, my Speedy Pro is both the best watch in my collection and my favourite.
Rolex....but I'm surprised by the numbers, :)
Omega for me, primarily predicated by
price when I purchased my first proper watch.
I didn't vote since my favorite gets no love in the poll. I own a Rolex GMT and an Omega Speedmaster (to be joined by another later this year) but my favorite watch is my Tudor snowflake.
