Updated ownership survey: what's your no. 1/primary brand now?

[markosgr28]

Two different questions I think so answer is different for me in each one. The brand I own most is Seiko, the no. 1 brand in my collection is Rolex. I love my Seikos, but I don't own any expensive one, so Seiko can not be considered as my no 1 brand and it is not fair. I love my Rolex, because of its simple clean design and top quality. My daily wearer though is neither Seiko nor Rolex, it is an Omega SMP, for the looks, quality of the brand and the practicality of the quartz movement.

NB It doesn't say "and".

Sorry to be so tetchy...

[verv]

Rolex for me.
They may not be the most innovative or the most interesting but they're classic and refined, which is my preference above all else.

[sangman]

Seiko for me, at the moment.

[quoll]

I have one Rolex, one Omega, one Breitling and one Zenith, but three Timefactors, three Seikos and three Vostoks. I last bought a Vostok, so it has to be Vostok I suppose. I can't see a button for Vostok.

[Heuerfan]

I'm a little disappointed to see that Heuer isn't an option. I love my Heuer divers.

I voted Seiko as I have recently purchased 3 Grand Seikos and am currently in the middle of a transition away from all things Swiss (by this I mean the well known commoditized "luxury" brands, but maybe a few older pieces will stay). Its complex, and I wouldn't like to try and spell it out here. I wasn't looking to switch to GS... but there is just so much about them which is simply superb.

Tried AP, had a years worth of a few JLCs, but I have come full circle.....I'm back to stuff I can wash under the tap! Rolex dashed with an Omega or two.

My baby PAM 048 gets most wrist time, but I try to rotate between my autos as much as possible to keep 'em healthy (Chronomat and Certina DS). Currently wearing (boo hiss no doubt) a pebble steel as I've been out on the bike and like not having to stop for crap calls and emails on the mobile.

Can't wait for the 19th though and the arrival of my (been a loooong wait) Heritage Ranger at the AD

[Andrzej]

"Other" for me as well, with 17 Stowa / Schauers, with these or Timefactors forming my usual daily wearers.

[Junaid8]

Oris.

[Kakadu]

Rolex for me, but qualified - vintage not new! Omega - a close second by a neck from Ollech & Wajs, as I really
appreciate a brand owner who is 90 years old - or thereabouts, taking the time to communicate with me,
and my K2 is accurate to +/- 1 second per day, not bad!

I voted Seiko but Oris (which wasn't on the poll) just edges it out of first position - just.

[BernardF]

Actually, in addition to Zenith, I'd take anything from an AHCI master.

[Stegeorgy]

Started with Tag and then sold all but my Monza. Bought a Panerai Pam 90 as a "special occasion watch. Then added 3 Omegas to collection ...2 Planet Ocean and an Aqua Terra. Just added IWC Jacques Cousteau Aquatimer. Next on my list is.... Zenith Pilot... Bremont....hell I will have to stop this is becoming an obsession

[Srct]

Rolex

[Si84]

Omega for me

[AAMC]

Omega for me

[martinzx]

Omega, followed by Zenith as in owned, all Vintage BTW ...

Cheers Martin

[andrewcregan]

I voted for Omega, but a few changes to my collection would now give the vote to Rolex!
How things change.

[DB9yeti]

Omega for me

That Aqua Terra looks MASSIVE compared the PO next to it!! Very surprising, I take it the PO is 42mm and the AT is the 43mm?

[PJ S]

That Aqua Terra looks MASSIVE compared the PO next to it!! Very surprising, I take it the PO is 42mm and the AT is the 43mm?

The AT is 41.5mm, the PO is 42mm – must be an optical illusion making it seem like the former is much larger than the latter.

[AAMC]

That Aqua Terra looks MASSIVE compared the PO next to it!! Very surprising, I take it the PO is 42mm and the AT is the 43mm?

The PO is in fact the 42mm and the AT it's the 41.5mm blue dial...I was thinking the same regarding this pic because in "real life" there is not such a difference...

here are other pics of the same watches that aren't showing that effect...

[DB9yeti]

I agree - that seems much more like what I would have expected! :)

[Bruno.M]

where is Patek ???
I'm sure there are more who would vote for Patek than the 6 who voted for TAG
I know they are a lot more expensive than the other brands in the list but for a lot of us it is a step we take one day.
It is a grail
Sell a part of the collection and finally buy a Patek

I think you have misunderstood the question.

6 people voted for TAG because they are the brand they own the most of or are the most important / worn / representative brand in their collection.

That's why no Patek! I'm sure there is someone on here with several, but it's a pretty uncommon thing :)

[Wexford]

Kemmner really and I include Timefactors in there too. Eight watches out of 26

in that case I indeed misunderstood it

'What Brand Do You Own Most of or Consider Your Primary / No 1 Watch?'

I might be wrong but first part is indeed about the brand you own the most, but …. I consider my primary no 1 watch not a Zenith while most I own are zenith … my No 1 watch is a Patek :-)

[Dai Capp]

What with Precista, Smiths and now a Dreadnought on the way it's got to be Timefactors...
