Good grief, Andreas.
I have been on a "diving" style watch fetish recently and crossed over the Ploprof.
Seeing it on your wrist, I am concerned that it would send you straight to the bottom!
My only news: just took delivery of a Constellation for wifey.

Re: What is your favorite watch?
I was lucky enough to find one of these in perfect condition, at an antique store in South Beach, Miami, some years ago. A strange coincidence - a few hours before a friend and I had talked about wanting to own one, and he'd told me how hard they were to find. Then we walked into the store, and while he was looking at something else I noticed ... could it be ... well, what do you know?
So I bought it without him noticing, swapped watches on my wrist and can still remember his face when we reunited with our girlfriends and he suddenly saw my new watch.
"How?"
"While you were looking at the paintings."

Constellations are nice!
This one is the vintage model, 600m version. I love it, wait till' I get the sharkproof metal-mesh bracelet for it!

Re: What is your favorite watch?
bayerische: Constellations are nice!
The funny thing is that I never particularly cared for them. It is
what she liked, so that is what she got! I must admit that it is a very
nice watch now that I had some time to play with it. I am really
impressed with it, at least moreso than I expected.
bayerische: wait till' I get the sharkproof metal-mesh bracelet for it!
I assume you will leave behind a flawless wrist.
Daytona: Classic, great looking watch -and a very funny story, soundproof!

Well, they did have to pull my card twice, as the limit was under the price.
It was just too good a joke to pass up, I can still remember his face when he saw the watch on my wrist.
Lots of nice watches in this thread.

Re: What is your favorite watch?
I really, really like the Rolex Oyster Perpetual DateJust 36mm with the Oyster bracelet and black or blue dial. I can't really decide if I like the domed steel bezel or the fluted white gold one best. I think it looks just like a Rolex should.
Who knows what will happen. I'm turning 40 in a few days.

Wondeful watch! I had the same w/ Jubilee/black/fluted.
Great for sport and/or dress. A real classic, though like you -I
suppose I would prefer the Oyster bracelet. My brother still has it!

Re: What is your favorite watch?
