Umm, I am going to pick four from my own collection, and this is very hard. I wanted to include my Glycine Airman double 12, but that would have meant too many blue dials

1.Christopher Ward C63 Sealander GMT

2.Tudor BB363.

3.Atticus Meteora

4.Ball Fireman Nightbreaker

Black Bay 36 Blue, Vintage Omega C-shape, Tuna MarineMaster 300m ☺️

Your picks are super solid 💪😎💪

Of my current and planned collection (re: what I’m saving for), this is what I would have for 4 watches:

Max Bill Junghans (quartz) as my dress watch

Image

Seiko Baby Alpinist as an everyday/explorer watch 

Image

Baltic Aquascaphe as my diver watch 

Image

G-Shock 5600 series Tough Solar as my work watch/beater.

Image

  1. and 2. everyday

3. complication - Zenith Chronomaster Original

4. fun - some nice colorful dial (most likely a GS

·
Image

Dive

Image

Field/GMT

Image

Sport/Dress

Image

Chronograph

So this has been a 20 year struggle, with no end in sight.  I have to come to grips with the fact that no watch is just right, but these would be close:

Rolex 16600, DOXA 750, Sinn T2b, some flavor of destro white dial Panerai

Ask again tomorrow and you'll get a different answer

This is what I’m working towards (all photos lifted from the internet), but I only have the Junghans thus far:

Explorer: Sinn 556a

Versatile: Stowa Antea KS (can substitute with  nomos):

Image

Dress: Junghans Max Bill hand winding

1 : Should be an easy-to-wear and do everything watch
2 : Dive Watch
3 : GMT 
4 : Chrono
 

My pick would be
1 : Rolex Explorer 36mm
2 : Tudor BB58 or Sub 
3 : Rolex GMT or Longines Zulu Time
4 : Zenith El Primero or Speedy 

I own a BB58, on waitlist for the Explorer. Next watch should be a Chrono. Will probably go for Zenith as they offer below 39mm Chrono when Omega stick around 40mm. The last Baltic tricompass looks sick though and way less expensive. 
For the GMT unfortunately its usually over 40mm (love the Longines but c'mon guys 42 ?!) so I'll probably never find the right one..

Rolex E1 36mm

Bulgari OF blue

Blancpain 50 fathoms

Any rose gold Moser 3 hand dress watch

Ideal:

Omega Railmaster

Longines Ultracron

Grand Seiko Omiwatari

G Shock Rangeman

Kind of own them already, you got to roll with what you find, be flexible, and be brave: 1940s issued Enicar ATP (the Dirty Dozen may get all the attention, the ATPs did all the fighting. Enicars have my favourite dials of the 20 ATPs and are full stainless steel rather than plated), 1968 Omega Seamaster Chronostop (rare, and my late 60s “King Of Cool” option as I’m my own GD icon, fuck your Monaco‘s and Speedmasters), 1991 issued CWC G10 (early 1980s - 2006, kept the British Army in sync, you don’t need another watch. ‘91 was an important year for me, so, yeah…), 1950/60s Vacheron Constantin Cal.k102 (exquisite, understated, beautiful Trinity watch; brings grown men to tears).

will probably change tomorrow

Well, if we are talking about what's already in our collection: Rolex Pepsi on jubilee, Rolex Polar Explorer II, Omega Seamaster 300M, Rolex Z-blue Milgauss.

If ANY four watches? VC Overseas Everest Dual Time, ALS Lange 1, Rolex Pepsi on jubilee, JLC Ultra Thin Moon.

  1. 1936 Pocket Watch (dress watch)
  2. 1942 Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm Pilot's Watch (pilot watch, but for real)
