Rolex for me, a timeless classic (the Blancpain fifty fathoms is a dreamer though)...I like all the other stuff like Breitlings, Doxas (have one), Chopard, Tags, (not sure about IWC) all have modified ETA 2824 or 7750 (if a chrono) movements. While these movements are workhorses and cheaper to work on they are far more plentiful than Rolex movements. Panerai uses a highly decorated Unitas movements as well as Eta (I believe)...the highly sought after models originally had Rolex movements...but then again early Rolex Daytonas 7750 zenith movement (i believe, if memory serves me.). All very nice watches.
