Figured I would contribute and post my collection:

Tag Heuer Formula 1 Chronograph:



Movado two-tone Luno:



Breitling Navitimer Chronograph:



Aquamaster Diamond Chronograph: (bought this when I was 15, 11 years ago, lol)



Movado Museum SE:



Invicta 8926 Coin-edge:



And my favorite, Omega Seamaster 300M Chrono-diver:



Excuse the shitty pictures, taken with a crappy run of the mill Kodak digital camera. Also, don't mind the different dates on the automatics, I really need to purchase winders. I wear the Tag (quartz) as my daily.

My next purchase ideas for a watch:

Chase Durer Fighter Command:

or

Oris Titanium diver:

http://www.jomashop.com/oris-tt1-divers-ti...541-7154mb.html

Any suggestions between the two?

You sound like my wife, and her ultimate cop-out that she uses:

"If you didn't buy XXXX thing for your car"

"If you didn't buy XXXX watch"

"If you didn't buy XXXX thing for our home theater"....

"Then I would have a nicer everything!!"

I think you misspoke ever so slightly - you meant to say "Breitling", right?

Seriously though, I've been thinking about an Omega for a while, which ones would you recommend in the 3-5k MSRP range? (if any)


PS here's some watch porn for y'all:

I prefer the speedmaster series, and have the date model. I was going to go with the professional model (the infamous "moon" watch) but decided against it as it does NOT have the quartz crystal - it has a plastic crystal and they scratch EASY. They have the plastic because apparently little pieces of broken quartz floating around in a weightless space ship isn't ideal. The plastic, if boken, will not shatter like the quartz. Great if you plan on becoming an astronaut, but those days are gone for me.

I do like the seamaster series too though (the "007" watch). I have been thinking about one of them recently myself. Go to their website and check them out, and remember you can change the bands if you like a particular style case, bezel and dial combo.

Good luck!
