I like very simple watches with not much complications. So I may not be able to fill up most of the slots.

Theme/ style:

1) Aviation - IWC BP 5002
2) Divers - Seiko Tuna
3) Chronos - Daytona 6263
4) Perpetual calendars - does not fancy a perpetual calender watch. too troublesome for my lifestyle
5) world timers / GMT - Rolex GMT Pepsi
6) Vintage / classic - McQueen 1655
7) Dress / formal - 1601 DJ
8 ) Tool watch - Sub ND
9 ) Art Deco - Vacheron Constantin American
10) Ultra high end (think along the lines of Urwerk, Mb&F, Harry Winston, etc) - too poor to desire a watch that cost more than my house.
11) any other themes you wanna add....
