Default Watch Preferences of Porsche owners

To add to the occasional lifestyle polls, I wonder what watch brands/styles my fellow P-car owners (or would-be owners) prefer.

These are a couple of my more beloved: an old (1993) steel Cartier Pasha and fairly new gold and steel Cartier Roadster, both automatic (tiptronic ) movements. For me, Cartier and Porsche somehow go together.

No pics, but a couple of my favorites currently are my IWC Flieger Chronograph, Breitling Super Ocean Pro. Even my beater watches are automatics. The only way to go.

Omega Seamaster Professional. I have more and nicer, but this watch says sport and looks clean. Perfect.

Jeez, I'm beginning to feel like a pauper. I once had a Rolex gold and steel date/just but was seeing too many so transitioned to Cartier. I really like the submariner with the blue face, though. Very striking. And the Omegas are classic.

I'd like to see some pics, especially of the Franck Muller - those are awesome - and some of the other lesser known models.

I have an Omega Seamaster Professional that I wear almost every day.
I have a Ulysses Nardin GMT that I wear quite a bit, but not as much. Mainly because I have tiny wrists and the leather band has stretched to the point where even on the last hole it is too big for my wrist.
The wife says she bought me a new watch for our anniversary, and I will get it later this month. Don't know what it is, but I think it is the new Omega Seamaster with the auto movement and orange dial.

Zenith Gran Chrono XXT
Panerai Luminor
Ernst Benz Chrono

I allow myself to purschase one watch a year. The feeling I get wearing a nice swiss watch is better than the feeling I get from my Porsches.
