Cartier Tank Francaise
Sinn 656

Accutron Stratford
several vintage models: Ulysse Nardin, Breitling, Longchamps, etc.
several cheap quartz: Mondaine, Casio, Skagen... etc.

Amongst those 40-50 watches, I put the picture of Casio Oceanus here.
This is the reference for time and date because its automatic radio controlled adjustment.

It's less than 100g (3.5oz) and relatively thin 10mm, although the case diameter is at 42mm.
...and it lumes in aqua since it's named "Oceanus." :)

Well it’s not really a fancy watch, just functional and somewhat sporty. However I love its functions like radio controlled, solar driven. When I wear other watches, I adjust time and date by checking this one. Leap year? daylight saving time? No problem. This guy adjust those changes during I make snoring in my bed.
Recently I bought J12 from PT and several (Aquanaut, A.Silverstein, PAM177L and quartz J12) from TT. Now I am planning to purchase more from TT such as ceramic bezel GMT-II in 2 tones, Milgauss w/green sapphire, and one more PAM177L. This forum is very, very helpful to know the pros and cons of those reps, so I will help others by uploading pictures when I got a new rep.
Thanks for reading, and see you in some threads soon!
