The Voutilainen is hard to beat.
Below the radar and easy to slip by unnoticed. The DeBethune is a sight to see though, I agree.
I like things simple
For class and elegance, LF Gallet Traveler. For some sportiness then the Aquanaut 5164a. Again I can’t post pictures because this damn iPhone app is buggy as hell.

both excellent choices
I’ve heard people often say if they had to pick one watch the 5164 would be it.
I personally love the LF too

To be honest
There was a time when the 5164a was trading under retail and less hyped up. During those days it was a favorite of mine. These days no. Simply because you can’t travel freely with a 5164a without getting scrutinized at best and robbed/harmed at the very worst. So no, it no longer is my personal favorite only because the market has hyped it up way more than what I think it should be. The LF on the other hand, I wore it to London in Feb this year. It was discreetly covered under my sleeve and only pops out on occasion when I check the time. It is elegant and extremely well design and very easy to adjust/use. It is to me one of the best travel time watch. Worldtimers however nice (to some) aesthetically never work for me. I don’t see a need to track more than 2 time zones intensely. If you are then I personally feel that’s not a good way to live. Too much information on a world timer dial than I should ever need. You could however argue why the info on a perp/annual calendar is justified.

The LF is conversation starter…
…such unique/uncommon piece. I’ve never seen one in the wild.
I really love these Breguets, that dial is spectacular...the current Marine Alarme Musicale is really nice too
What a spectacular and diverse selection of timepieces in this thread! Let me add one entry for me and one for my girlfriend as well (veeery different, but both equally loved! :-)

It's a a relatively new Ladies model, it came with the 2021 announcements and it's indeed totally gorgeous in person....I just found some pictures where my retailer and I for fun were also trying it on, but no, it definitely looks better on ladies! :-))

Yes, dearest Fab . . . we know it’s you.
The yellow. So stylish in the yellow. I didn’t even need to look at the face. You are “stylin’ and profilin’!”
:-))) Truly one of my favorite colors, and.....the more summer is approaching, the more I love it! ;-)) Cheers.
Something simple
Like to stick to something simple, this is both my most travelled & most commented up watch.
