We need to know your budget.

My first (expensive) watch was a TAG, then Rolex, then Breitling. Considering the Anniversary moon watch from Omega right now.

Rolex Datejust, 2-tone
Rolex GMT Master II
Omega Speedmaster
Cartier Tank
Boliva Tank, 1943 14k rose gold
Tissot T-touch

Most purchased in the early 70's when wrist watches were much more affordable. Tissot is the newest but it's 5-6 years old and is my everyday watch.

My everyday watch is a Citizen Titanium Chronograph (Solar Powered)
Had it for over 10 years and no batteries.

I also have an older Pulsar Chronograph that I no longer wear. About 15 years old.

I wear this one when we go out.

I couldn't find pics of my other 2 watches. And the pic I tried taking with my phone looked blurry.

Just realized all of my watches were gifts from my wife. 2 before we got married.

And I have one that I received for my 5 year anniversary at work. I wear it when I don't want to break or lose me other watches.
Not a bad looking watch, but it was free.
