I like watches but I guess like Mike, Audio sponges up most of my disposable income. As such I've never bought a gold much less platinum watch for myself. What goldies I have are inherited from my Grandpa, a Patek Bracelet and a Rolex Oyster Perpetual.
What you will find on my wrist is usually a Chopard Mille Miglia GMT, a U-Boat, an IWC Portuguese or a Jaeger Lecoultre Aston Martin Commemorative since I can't afford the car
Have a couple of watchesthough haven't been into watches for a couple of years now.
My favorite is my Panerai with the IWC dual chrono Portugeuse running a close second. And yes the Panerai is a 44 mm watch and having a big wrist helps
FYI, the publisher of Watch Time was a member of my old gym! That has to be the most beautifully laid out magazine!

That's it
One watch that I've always had my eye, and maybe someday will buy, is Chronoswiss skeleton. I just loved watching (NPI) the watch work!
The Chopard Mille Miglia GMT Chronograph is a great watch - especially in rose gold on a strap.
Philippe Dufour makes an exceptional watch; however, his production is so limited that there is a long waiting list for product. Moreover, I think he only makes manual wind watches - no automatics.
The original Hamilton Ventura which dates to the late 1950's or early 1960's is a classic.
One fine watch that is not very well known in the United States is Ulysse Nardin. The company is quite old and has made high end watches since 1846 and currently makes some extremely complicated and expensive watches.
Here is a link to a rose gold two time zone watch that is quite interesting:

I would be interested in knowing what the forum members think about this watch.
It looks a bit like my old Hamilton but I am sure many magnitudes of expense higher. How much is that watch

It's a bit "in your face", particularly the typography in the name MICHELANGELO. The Perpetual Ludovico on the same site looks like a nice watch.
