Default any watch fans or collectors?

anybody out there a watch fan or collector? what is your favorite brand or dream watch?

i just bought a new oris williams f1 edition with a date pointer. it's an awesome watch and i found it on overstock for about half off. couldn't pass it up.

i also have an esq, a tissot t-touch with the black rubber strap and a potger pietri (made by invicta) chronograph i got from shopnbc.com.

if i ever save enough i'd like an omega speedmaster.

it seems most audi dudes appreciate quality craftmanship, such as watches, so i just wanted to see if anybody is interested or has a favorite brand.

Back when I detailed cars, my boss was an avid watch collector. He had many, many awesome watches. He had the tissot touch titanium (which I kept badgering him to sell me... to no avail) and a plethora of other high end stuff. I remember one of his watches was nearing the 30k mark... I can't remember what it was called! Something-master ... I think? Haha

Definitely agree that watches are worthy of collection... as craftmanship in some watches is really worth appreciating.

I have about 8 watches myself. I have a weak spot for many Kenneth Cole watches. Im just glad they arent super pricey.

Not a collector, but i have a Movado and a gold Citizen's. I really dig the Movado's though. Clean and classy imo.

I like my Vostok and Poljot watches. Built Ford Tough but with Russian love!

I enjoy fine watches and wish I could get more. Only a Rado and Movado for now.

Cheers!

Same here, best watches if you're on a budget, IMO. Although I have a feeling my next watch will be a citizen eco-drive...
