My trinity if anyone is interested. Same same dial but different movement. GADA...I'm a simple and poor man
Come share your holy trinity lol
well, right now it's like this, if you consider dress, everyday, casual, but subjected to updates/changes in the very near future
Oh, since I asked the original poster for an elaboration, guess I should start first.
Dress Watch: Among so many dress watches in the world, I feel that a dress watch should convey a sense of style, be without complications and also feature manual winding. For that, it makes the most sense to go for watches that are not round -- the two brands with most distinctive non-round dress watches to me are the JLC for the Reverso and Cartier for the Tank/Santos Dumont. The Reverso was more interesting to me due to the (you guessed it) reversible case, so it's the one I chose. Once the Reverso is fixed, then the Tank is eliminated due to having similar case shapes. Regarding the Santos Dumont, it's something I'm looking to add in the very near future.
Everyday Watch: It's difficult not to choose a Rolex for this category (if given the opportunity). Honestly, the most elegant (case and dial) design by Rolex, moving away from the supercase of the Submariner-derived designs. Bracelet design and comfort are class-leading, ceramic bezel means scratches won't appear.
Casual Watch: For this, I was looking for a rubber strap-equipped watch. Nothing says casual more than a rubber strap, and in this category, you have Hublots/Panerais, AP ROOs and the Aquanauts. Only the Aquanaut fits my wrist, and in the absence of a "GMT" complication in this collection, the 5164A takes the spot.

This combination works well (for me) because each of them comes on a strap made from different materials, there's a chronograph and GMT in the collection, and all three having distinct case shapes from each other.
Some drawbacks on this collection: they're all stainless steel. Can't run away from steel for everyday/casual (unless titanium), but perhaps the dress watch can be of a different (precious) material. Horologically-speaking, the three watches featured here use rather pedestrian movements -- I mean they are great movements, but not innovative -- perhaps a Spring Drive or co-axial movement would be more interesting. Lastly, and most importantly, this collection took me lots of thinking, time and money to acquire them (at retail, fortunately).
