Esquire Features Bob's Watches CEO Top 10 Must-Have Watches

Written By: Paul Altieri

I recently sat down with Esquire to share my ten most grail-worthy timepieces. Like my own personal collection, it’s a mixed bag of modern must-haves like the ceramic Daytona ref. 116500, and the current Explorer II ref. 216570. Vintage classics like the Triple Calendar Moonphase ref. 8171 and the Submariner ref. 6200 with the Explorer dial have made it to the list as well.

In addition to the list, a Paul Newman, a President, and a GMT-Master Pepsi make an appearance too. There’s even another brand in there other than Rolex—can you guess which one?
