Had this one a few years always wanted one finally got it 
I have a few collected now (some pics below are generic but they are the same watch):
Rado Centrix
Longines Hydroconquest Chrono (My Daily - bought as a present to myself on my 30th)
Vintage 1972 Seiko Bullhead (Family Heirloom, was given to Dad on his wedding day by my maternal grandfather, both now passed on so its mine) When I found it, it was in disrepair, recently had a full restoration including repaired movement, new pushers and crown, new bracelet, re-lumed hands, new gaskets, full clean and re-brushed/polished casing. The restoration was extremely considerate as i wanted to retain some of the scratches both on the case and the bezel to ensure it retained its character.
1913 pocket watch, belonged to my great grandfather, then grandfather, then dad, now me! Has a West End Company face but on a recent repair I discovered the movement is actually by Longines - number 000113 made from that line.
I have 4 or 5 others as well, but these are my most cherished. Not about the money, it about what they are worth to me. As for the fake discussion... well, I couldn't give a crap what other people think or see, When I buy/use a watch, I like to know whats on my wrist is real and/or has meaning/value.
Currently have my eye on a IWC Spitfire and an Omega Seamaster.
