Sadly, the Rolex Sub and the Cartier are the only two watches I think I'd ever have a shot at...the others are a bit out there, but that's okay.
My top ten -- of those that're
actually in my collection, that is -- would look something like this, and in no particular order; oh, and at least a few would be sentimental picks, for the most part, though each
does have a pretty decent monetary value:
King Seiko by Seiko
Grand Seiko by Seiko
Jet Auto Dater (35 Jewels, Vintage) by Citizen

Girard-Perregaux (Vintage)
Jet Auto Dater (27 Jewels, Vintage) by Citizen

Rolex
Air King
Hamilton
Ventura
Citizen Seven (Vintage)
Auto Dater
Hamilton
Thin-O-Matic
Freshman Orient (Vintage)
Inlaid MOP Mosaic Dial
Honorable Mention





Hope I didn't throw the thread too far afield, gentlemen...thanks for looking
!
