Really enjoyed reading everyones replies, and I was reaching out for personal tastes and styles. As a novice horologist, I am heartened to see that my Speedmaster Pro is not far from others choices.
What was more striking for me was the practicality of the watches chosen, other than Heuers, for other members perfect watches. No PK's and other brands that I am not so sure of their pronumciation, yet spelling. There was a really down to earth, mechanical, practical trend throughout. It is nice to feel not alone, in this nuts and bolts, without the bling type of forum. Well done and thanks everyone.
All the best for the New Year.
