Here are mine...(for now!)

Afternoon.

This was a nice question for a hot lunchtime.

With an eye on budget i will take out the Chronomatics and PVD Monaco from the equation. From the rest i'd go for...(these are in no particular order either)

1533G Monaco, probably the most wearable of all the Monaco's, it offers the metallic dials tricks of light, so giving it around 3 different looks depending on the lighting. The 1133G's and the 1133b transitional would be "close but no cigar".

1163T Siffert, for me the nicest Autavia dial, i'd plump for the 1st execution by some margin as the markers and hands to me look like a perfect match (the last execution i'm not a fan of).

Carrera 510 523, i'm a new recruit to these but although i have come to the party late, i have really fallen for my steel Lemania Carrera. Wears a bit larger than the 70s variants and looks cooler/sportier to my eyes. This watch has been getting more wear than the recently acquired PVD version (although both are nice). Great to finally have a watch with a movement that Chuck M would approve of...

Cheers for the challenge D.

: ... Heuer watches in their collection, what would they be??

: This began with a conversation I had with a friend about what my

: Everyone has there own personal choices of designs, style and

: I don't necessarily mean your 'dream, cost not an issue,',

: hard folding for them', 3.

: I'm hoping this will throw open some ideas that I might've
