Watch Report is a Dutch magazine about watches and their fourth edition has just appeared in the stores.Watch Report has nice cover stories and their coverage on novelties is quite actual for a magazine on paper.One of the subjects in the latest copy is a top 3 of all time favorite watches, given by Watch Report readers.The result is no surprise, but personally I would have thought that place 1 and 2 would be vice-versa.So, here it goes, the Top 3 of watches (of all time) by Watch Report:1.The Omega Speedmaster Professional.Watch Report pictured a ref.105.002-62, caliber 321 model.However, since I dont have one, here is a picture of my own 145.022-67 caliber 321, on a ref.1039 bracelet.
2.Rolex Submariner.It doesnt tell which model exactly, Watch Report pictured an early 5513.However, since I dont have a 5513, here goes a picture from JKWatchStore (who has some nice ones in stock):
3.Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Jumbo.In the magazine, a pre A-series is being pictured, which I dont have.Aside from the dial, nothing much changed with the current ref.15202ST version, which is pictured below.
I love the Top 3 selection and I seem to fit in the general opinion of the readers perfectly ?? Other watches that were submitted but didnt make it in the Top 3 were:Panerai Luminor 1950 (ref.127)Jeager-LeCoultre ReversoBlancpain Fifty Fathoms (Aqua Lung)Rolex Daytona (pictured was a ref.6263)Patek Philippe Nautilus ref.3800/1Cartier SantosAll pretty classic and iconic time pieces if you ask me.As I wrote above, I wouldnt have guessed that the Submariner would be 2nd place and the Speedy on the first spot.My personal top 3 would look a bit different, 1.Speedmaster Professional, 2.Royal Oak (non-Offshore), 3.Nautilus.What is your Top 3? Leave a comment below, as I am very curious if the Watch Report magazine represents most of us ??
