Well since someone brought my thread back from the grave, and for the benefit of those in the market for a good watch, here is my current "Desired Watches" list (no particular order):
1) IWC need no introduction
2)
3) Just a good, simple watch. B&R not cheap though.
4) Hublot. Typically some of the most expensive watches on the market. I don't like 99% of Hublot but this is a classic IMO.
5)I thought this "fire orange" was fun.
6) This is a Girard-Perregaux R&D 01. Limited to 250 so I doubt I'll be getting one...
There's a few more floating out there from Rolex and Brietling such as this one. It's nice and big and obnoxious

7)
Hope this has been helpful. Any questions, fire away.
