    TZ UK Users Watch Survey

    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.

    Omega for me too, mainly cause its my best watch!!!

    Re: TZ UK Users Watch Survey

    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...

    Re: TZ UK Users Watch Survey

    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...

    Re: TZ UK Users Watch Survey

    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)

    Omega - previously had only Speedmasters, then switched to Seamasters.

    Now, I'm thinking Speedies might be the way to go... :)

    TZ UK Users Watch Survey

    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.

    Re: TZ UK Users Watch Survey

    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 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...

    TZ UK Users Watch Survey

    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'. :)

    Re: TZ UK Users Watch Survey

    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.

    Two Pams, 2 Tudors, the rest just singles.

    So voted Pam as Tudor's not an option anyway.

  26. #26

    Re: TZ UK Users Watch Survey

    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... :?

    Re: TZ UK Users Watch Survey

    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.

    Re: TZ UK Users Watch Survey

    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.

    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'!

    Re: TZ UK Users Watch Survey

    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.

  43. #43

    Re: TZ UK Users Watch Survey

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Omega for me, primarily predicated by

    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.
