Rolex Seadweller. Currently in for a service and polish.
I'm planning to quit my job next year, so will blow a lot of my final year salary on yellow gold Patek Gondolo, some kind of Vacheron, and a possibly an Audemars Royal Oak of some description (maybe an offshore or ltd edition-there are some really nice ltd editions floating around). Ideally I need something with 3 time zones and a good water rating, and preferably automatic but haven't found anything that exactly suits the bill. I think JLC Master Geographic comes close but there are just too many models and I need to investigate further.

My girlfriend got me the Nixon Tach yesterday for our anniversary.
I like it a lot, but it's kind of a pain to keep it pushed as far back on my arm as possible so I don't scratch my MBP palmrests.
That's the reason I stopped wearing my watch. And to think, I repaired them everyday for nearly two years only to stop wearing them, haha.

Thanks very much.
I've contemplated selling the Panerai many a time for one of the Rolex Cellini's but it's just such a striking watch, I can't bring myself to do it.

My collection
Here's my "expensive" collection. my Casios, Fossil, Armani, Swatch, Guess, Kenneth Cole, etc... are in the closet (with the batteries out). I just took a screen shot from my webpage so the picture is a bit fuzzy. I got most of these as an inheritance from my father. I only bought 3 of them (the two Tags and the Breitling
This is what I have so far:
Tudor Date-Just (Made by Rolex, this one is from the mid 80's I think)
Tag Kiriums both Chronos, one is the Ti5
Rolex Yacht Master, Submariner, Daytona (White & Black), Day-Date, Panerai Luminor, Omega Planet Ocean & Seamaster, Breitling (Bentley Series), and Monte Blanc TimeWalker.

I have a Breitling. I never wear it - it's in a jewlrey case at my parents' house. I'll grab it later and post a shot of it.
I also just inherited a Rolex. Daytona, leather band, white gold case:
It hasn't made it's way to me yet, I should get it in the next few weeks/months. I'll never wear it either, unless it's dress up time.
I really love them both, the craftsmanship is excellent, and they are beautiful.
They just look kind of goofy(fake) on a 23 year old kid who wears T shirts and Pumas everywhere he goes.
I disagree... I bought a Daytona with the rubber bracelet with the holes in it back in 1972. I wore it like that for two years then I changed the bracelet out for an Oyster. I wore that for another eighteen years. I bought a GMT Master and have worn it daily since
My son wears the Daytona everyday at college and I am sure he is in jeans and t=shirts most of the time. I suppose it depends on where you are. Wear the Daytona and enjoy it.
