Definitely the Tag Heuer Carrera does it for me...

The one pictured is the twin time, but any of the versions look great...It's simple, yet beautiful as hell!

I will never understand adults wearing kids' watches. Maybe it means we're all kids in different stages.
LOL I am definitely still a kid at heart

However I bought it for the functionality (which I never use)

i dont like to spend alot of cash on watches, but i like my good old citizen i bought real cheap when a place went outta business lol

as far as expensive watches i like the tags and the less blingbling watches, simplicity is more my style

While the Tag might be my favourite watch, I also adore the simplicity and "honesty" of this relatively cheap watch:


It's very comfortable to wear and VERY accurate. I also like the fact that I don't have to worry about banging it or having it stolen (although I've had it for about four years and I am very attached to it).

A. Lange & Sohne IMO make superior watches to rolex.

I have a $500 seiko kinetic, i think their innovation is great

There really is no innovation in the Seiko Kinetic movement. All Automatic movement watches, use kinetic energy to wind the watch.
