Mechanical watches that is. I have a bunch of watch-related posts on my site too.

What watch(es) do you prefer? An Omega Speedmaster Professional most days for me.

I use a vintage Rolex Sub daily. Just got a JLC Reverso Duo. Both are keepers. JLC is the most underrated watch company IMO.

Also starting to have a liking on watches here- too bad personal economics stops me from buying the what I really want for now. If I had the money I'd buy an IWC Portuguese &/or an A Lange & Soehne Lange1 Moonphase. I also have a speedy, but am planning to purcase either a Seamaster AT or a Railmaster.

There are a number of posters on the forum who take an active interest in watches. This place can't rival the collective knowledge of Timezone or the Pursists, but there are a number of posters who are active on all three fora. William Massena, the moderator of the Patek forum, periodically posts on the Men's Clothing forum. As for myself, I have an interest in watches with a preference for contemporary pieces.

My current collection includes examples from IWC (x2), Uysse Nardin (x2), Girard Perregaux, Oris, and an inexpensive manual wind from Lindburgh and Benson (my avatar, which is a closeup of a vintage Lorsa movement). I'm also a huge fan of JLC, particularly the Master Ultra Thin & RDM, and the Reverso Duo, Big Date, and older Sun & Moon. My next purchase will probably be another GP, JLC Reverso or Master Ultra Thin, Chopard LUC 1.96, or IWC UTC.

Here's a pict of my Diamond Rolex. I have a regular stainless red/black daytona which I use everyday. I have two breitlings, one Bentley and one Crosswind w/Diamond bezel.
I have an Aire Traveler w/red gold diamond bezel. One bvlgari assioma chrongraph w/dark/blue/black face. I also have a series of lesser known brands that have the bubble face lupah watch and fit my style completely.

I'm not a fan of the thinner watches. I prefer more heavy rugged watches to fit my person.

My next purchase gents(just purchased) is a Patek Phillipe Perpetual Calendar Automatic w/diamond case. I was choosing between that and a Chopard and went w/Patek(actually thanks to reviews from style forum!)

Besides a couple of watches by Swatch, I'm the proud owner of a JLC Master Moon (engagement gift) and of a Longines limited edition (1000 pieces).

JLC is my favourite brand, but I'm very much into IWC and Vacheron Constantin as well.
