      I've always been a big fan of the German stuff…Sinn, Stowa, and the independents like Thomas Ninchritz, Dornbluth, etc. Lately my day to day has been my Sinn 757, a TN Regulateur, PAM 000 (non German I know), or a Sinn EZM3. I also love the high end Japanese pieces, especially the high end quartz models. My EDC for about a year was a Citizen Chronomaster (was +1 sec/year on my wrist!). I am still working out how to post pics, but I have some to share.

        What do you guys think of the Luminox 1848.
        I dig this style but the price seems a bit high at 450, is it worth it, or are there any similar watches?

        You may wish also to consider this brand, about the same price point:

              Very nice.  Does the chrono actually function?

                  Very cool.  I like the face & dial color accents.  Good one for dressing it up a bit.

                          These are my current two favorites along with a Sinn U1, a Sinn 757, Doxa Sub, and Rolex Explorer. The above are a Thomas Ninchritz regulateur and an Ennebi Fondale, the movement on the TN is just gorgeous!

                            The Ennebi looks fabulous. I did not know the brand until now - looking at their website revealed some interesting watches…

                            Here are two more from my watch vault:

                            This is a watch I inherited from my uncle - not very pricey in terms of money but priceless to me. It was his first "real" watch when he finally earned some money as a radio and TV technician in the Fifties after the grim post-war years.

                            This is my "daily driver", trusty old Sinn Chrono with the same case as the Heuer Bundeswehr, but with a automatic movement:

                              That's a lovely pair.  I actually like the watch from your uncle a lot.  Always loved the tricompax layout for chronographs.

                                Yep, the layout is classical. And I love the patina of the watch dial. I had the movement refurbished a few years ago but made sure the watchmaker did not touch the look.

                                  Excellent decision.  Is it a Venus movement?  Those will run forever with just a minimum amount of care.

                                    Honestly, I do not know. According to my watchmaker it is not very sophisticated but reliable - so he paraphrased your post 😉

                                        Ipad is underwhelming in general, in my opinion.

                                        Nice watches, though.  I especially like the Thomas Ninchritz, which is surprising, since I'm not normally into regulateurs.
