I want 3 watches - one for work, one for dress occasions, one for everything else. For work, I'll probably never go much beyond my Rolex 15200 - it's nice-looking and a solid piece of equipment, works with almost anything I'll wear for business.

I've got an old Cartier tank watch for evenings out, which is pretty unassailable as far as being tasteful and discreet.

My grail watch would be what I'd like for casual wear - a Heuer Monaco. I'll likely end up with a TAG Heuer version, as I can't see shelling out the dough for a vintage one.

I like a nice watch, but when you get into movements and custom dials and all that stuff about complications - it's just not that serious for me. Two cars, three watches, one girl - that's how I roll.
