I lol'd at the mark suggestion!

I had never thought of the cartier.

I wonder how this looks in person...

Right now I am thinking JLC master calendar (probably because I am loving the complications), IWC portuguese auto (LNIB - always loved), cartier above is now in contention (in-house movement and there is some art deco charm that I like), IWC FA Jones (stunning, perhaps a little big, don't know how I will ever see one).

I love Cartier.

A little off subject but my uncle has a Roadster. That watch is amazing. I absolutely love it. I also like the Tank.

Came across this watch, simply gorgeous. Perfect combination of class and elegant 30m chrono. Is 38.6mm too small??

That would be my pick of the choices. For me, 39-40 looks very appropriate. It would sit nicely under dress shirt cuffs. That's the kind of watch you could wear forever.

My #2 would be the RA Jones.

How about Breguet? They are more strictly a dress watch. But a fine one indeed.

All nice watches. I personally like the GO and IWC. I just picked up a Portuguese Automatic and absolutely LOVE it! Obviously the Jones is a step above (or two)

Really?! I like the shape and details of the dial. Moreover it has a badass 8day reserve manual movement.

Finding just one to like is seemingly impossible.

The other ones you posted are much better imo, the design is uninspiring. Just get the submariner already.

Sub doesn't do much for me - too common place so they aren't exciting.
