My favorite watch is my Omega Constellation. I have always admired them from afar, just really loved the look of them. I finally decided on one several months ago and I love it still!
As far as what I would like to have, a Rolex and Cartier Tank would be lovely!

i only buy watches from reputable watchmakers as i consider designer watches a major money burner.
I stick to companies that are dedicated watch makers (Seiko, Citizen, and some obscure but excellent watch makers like Louis Erard, Auguste Reymond, Christian Bernard, Lucien Piccard and others). Yes, I also have a watch Jones. 
I just don't trust the quality of watches that are made by clothing/shoe/handbag designers.

I wear a watch that I made. LOL I'm my own designer! =D
Right now it's a Pietersite stone and sterling watch. Previously though I had a freshwater pearl watch and before that a turquoise one.
But before I made jewelry I think the "fanciest" watch I ever had was an Anne Klein from Macy's. My mom always told me that watches broke too often to spend a lot of money on one. Her favorite watches were always the $20 ones she got at Target.
My husband on the other hand...oy. He is such a watch snob. LOL He definitely makes up for my lack of spending. Sheesh. And he can't have just one watch either.

Ooooo, you lucky Dawg!! Chopard is my DREAM watch!!! The DH has a problem with me spending 20K on something a $50 Timex will do,,...
I've never wanted a Rolex though. The design doesn't do much for me (too masculine IMHO) and there are so many lookalikes out there. I like "girlie' watches.
The only thing that really disappoints me about women's watches is that most of them have quartz movements. Much as I love my PP Twenty-4, the fact that it shares the same innards as my Swatch is a little distressing! 
It's why I can't bring myself to pick up the Chopard Happy Diamonds, but I was more than happy to pick up the Elton John Mille Miglia. I think the larger Chanel J12s are automatics, so those might be worth a closer look.
The next timepiece buys will be the Kelly watch from Hermès and a TechnoMarine TechnoLady--can't wait!

See my post above. I'm not one either. They just never appealed to me.

They don't do much for me. I only like the Cellini collection.
I currently alternate between Longines and Technomarine, but one of my fav watches is a Casio Pathfinder. :shame:
