Call me boring, but I'm a Rolex guy. Here's my current lineup.
TT Daytona, champagne dial, diamond markers.
SS Porsche Design automatic - don't remember the model, but it was my first "expensive" watch I purchased myself.
Circa 1950 Date. This was originally my grandfather's watch which was given to me when he passed. It was beat to crap and barely working. I had a full restoration done by Rolex and it looks practically brand new. The hands and dial are original so it still has a vintage look.
TT Datejust, onyx dial, diamond 6 & 9. This was a matching purchase with my wife. Isn't that cute?
SS Seadweller
TT Submariner, blue dial. This my first Rolex purchase.
TT GMT II, rootbeer dial - also known as the *****master. LOL. This is a love hate watch. I bought it because the brown has a red hue to it and it matches all my USC gear.
SS Explorer II, white dial.
I also have a 1987 President with champagne dial not pictured. It was my college graduation present and now sits in a safe deposit box for my son eventually.
Here's the wifey's stuff. Besides the matching onyx date just, she has:
SS 1973 Datejust, silver dial, engine turned bezel
SS Datejust, sodalite dial, 31mm (mid-size), diamond markers
TT Daytona, champagne dial, diamond markers.

My newest.
Gorgeous watch! You have excellent taste. That's a favorite of mine. Down the road I hope to own one.
Casio Pathfinder Fishing
I had 2 Bulovas and 2 Casios.
Sold everything, now I have only this Casio.
Ugly? I dont care, I use it in my office, when I go out with my girl, in parties and everywhere. It has a vibrating alarm, thats why I like it!
Keep it simple, baby

They're really great watches and incredibly light. I bought my Mom a Skagen years ago. Still runs like a champ.
