Interesting to consider IWC's two icons, Portuguese and Pilots -- chocolate or vanilla? Autavia or Carrera? More of a tool or better with a suit / tuxedo?

: Definitely a nice task!
: My own list would leave no doubt as to the number one, whereas the
: others might shift their places depending on the mood, the
: moment etc.
: Trying to strike a balance between "common" vintage (i.e.
: not so long ago and with a liquid enough market) and current
: production, and choosing a watch that one can comfortably wear
: everyday:

: 1. Omega Speedmaster Professional (the Moonwatch, handwound with
: current calibre): the cronograph if there is one, and the
: one to have if you have to settle for just one. Ref. 3570.50.00
: 2. Heuer Carrera 1964 re-edition handwound (same calibre as the
: Moonwatch btw) with white dial, ref. CS3113
: 3. Omega Speedmaster Professional Mark 4.5, ref. 176.0012 (but good
: luck with Omega Service for these!)
: 4. TAG Heuer Carrera Tachymetre (Val. 7750-based, date-only
: version) in the version with red chrono hands, ref.
: CV2014.BA0786
: 5. IWC Classic Pilot Chronograph, ref. 3717-04

: I am not 100% sure of the prices of these in USD but they should
: make the budget.
: Cheers,
