 Whenever I see stuff like Patek Philippe, Panerai, Vacheron Constantin or IWC, I don't comment. Usually these guys aren't interested in drooling. I also rarely comment on frequently advertised well made watches like Rolex, Omega, and Cartier.

When someone has an unusual high-end watch such as U. Nardin, Audemars Piguet, or Anonimo I might say something. They're just begging for attention. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

My favorite category are the "other" good companies that make nice watches. Stuff like Tutima, Hublot, Limes, Stowa and Glycine. I appreciate the value watch that doesn't scream out to the masses. Watches that only WIS people recognize their quality. It's like a secret club.

/I didn't mention any brand I own.
//Does Hublot belong in the attention seekers category? Hmmm- sometimes.
///This dude was lugging around a huge U-BOAT the other day, I said nothing.

////To stay on topic, I never saw an Orient in real life-not even at a store.
