I've always liked the Breitling Headwind.

TCMB, that is a nice collection indeed!

I was asking longsuffering as well. I didn't know there were so many collectors around.

Hack & Lube - I can tell you that G-Shocks are VERY popular, even with people who collect high-end watches. G-Shocks come in dozens or maybe hundreds of styles and are virtually indestructible.

Seiko and Citizen are also great choices. I agree with TheyCallMeBruce, you should look online for more choices.

Good luck
I love that watch, I have actually looked at the Hublot big bang before


But then I found out the pricetage was $8000-$19,000!!! I will probably buy online but I just wanted some tips on some good places to walk around and browse in town.

Great watches and great value too! And I've heard that the owner is a great guy.

You can't go wrong with CW

Asking me to pick a favourite watch is like asking which of your children you love the most.

If I had to pick my current favourite, it would be this Chopard. It is gorgeous!






My wife bought me this Planet Ocean, so it is pretty special too.



It's tough to choose an "if money was no object" watch.

This Urwerk is my current desktop. I got to try one of these on in London. It is very cool - but out of my price range.



Richard Mille would also be a definite contender.



This IWC Perpetual is also pretty special and probably the one I have the most realistic change of ever owning.

It took me a minute to figure out how to read that Urwerk

And that IWC Perpetual is beautiful.
