Very nice, yet very sensible Hans
Hard to beat Rolex for a daily wearer... and I do mean a true, real daily wearer...
Well, anyway... I really was being a little humorous when I said VAST collection....
This is the Purists, though....
Despite your VAST collection, what do you really wear?
Hate to be such a bore... but this is what I wear 70-80% of the time... and the rest sit in their vault... plotting their escape... I wear this watch because quite simply it is a perfect watch in every way, and I just can not find fault with it. And I lov...
Very far from a vast collection
but we seem to have some similarity in taste I wear the SeaDweller most during the work week And my Daytona most frequently during weekends and holidays...
I would post a picture
But it would be another Daytona. Stainless and white. Love the watch for it's versatility and balance. I can wear it with jeans and a shirt or a suit and tie.
I wear a lot of 'em regularly
Perhaps most frequently worn since I bought it as a "beater" in February: But I do wear many of the others quite regularly -- daily business allows for the wear of gold pieces: I wear this one much more than you might suspect: This is a fairly recent addi...
Gary, this is how it should be...
great watches!! I guess I'm a creature of habit, despite my variety....
On the other hand, Gary...
This is what you wear, DESPITE!? your vast collection... Jeeeeez...
Vintage IWC, vintage Rolex.
That describes about four to five days a week. The other days I wear one of a motley assortment of mostly vintage watches. My lifestyle does not admit of my wearing dress watches frequently, so they wait patiently.
absolutely!
All my watches get wrist time. Life is too short to keep anything locked away. I didn't buy them for investment, I bought them to wear and enjoy. Pretty much a different watch every day unless I am traveling. Sometimes a couple or three a day for certain ...
wear them all regularly
but then I do not have a vast collection (this being one of the reasons!). Although I have to say that recently if I do not know what to expect (leaving for a weekend with new friends, or something) or do not want to think about it, I have been grabbing t...

tend to wear vintage
I am new to vintage.Only for about 3 years. I am very careful when wearing my watches which I bought new and i tend to wear the vintage secondhand pieces as they are already scuffed up.I also tend to wear my steel or composite sports watches whilst the dr...
I wear most of them from time to time
I have a couple of watch boxes on my dresser that contain the most special watches as well as a selection which I refresh with the seasons or when I get a new acquisition. Right now all the steel bracelets are in use for the hot weather, so the rotation i...
My current summer rotation is...
The silver case is starting to get seriously beat up, but I think this one will stay in my rotation forever... my fun addition for the summer... For the evening when it is cooler. Don...
Oh yeah, Don, I always wear watches I've made by hand myself too
Man! If only it were so... must be a truly rewarding feeling... great admiration over here!
All of them, but wear trends are seasonal...
Hi, I really wear all six of my mechanical watches but I tend to wear these four watches more in the summer because: - The watches are water resistant and I go to our beach cottage in the Summer Blancpain IWC Panerai - Also in Summer, a cognac watch strap...
why would you collect watches if not to wear them?
I wear them all. Maybe these with a hair more frequency than others The current favorites ...and the Beater This message has been edited by LouS on 2011-08-13 11:01:05...
Fantastic vintage watches Lou, as usual
I don't wear my vintage watches enough, but I do love them...
fantastic vintage chrono collection Lou
You have a very enviable zenith colelction, congrats also on the chronomat from the 40's, the gallet and the universals. Love them all. best regards georges
Like many - I chose Rolex - Milgauss in my case
When it comes to reliability, accuracy, and comfort, I find Rolex to be an extremely versatile companion. The Milgauss in particular I find very comfortable and flexible as to occasion. I suspect that if I had an Explorer or a Daytona I would feel much th...
Reverse psychology here, Mostel . . .
. . . I try to give them all roughly equal wrist time, except this one . . . . . . which gets an outing once (or, at the most, twice) a year....
That is a beautiful GO
One of the most beautiful ever, I think... what a great case!!
Tough to say, but for right now...
This one is gets the most wrist time since I got it a month ago... I have a business with a partner and thus most days no formal dress requirements. I found this one works with a polo shirt and shorts quite well I usually do switch watches when I get home...
I do't have a very vast collection but I tend to wear things that have something special
I like special timepieces. The ones I wear are usually coming from service/ restoration during some months in a row or a year depending of which watch it is, then I switch. I usually used to wear an aquastar benthos 500 from 1969, a huge and very robust d...
I like that...
...Benthos 500. Definitely one of the more out-there and interesting dive watches.
didn't know you had the Memo 3150, with the Roll Lugs, Andrew.
Did I miss something, here??? Or were you just hiding it for the right occasion? Best, Nicolas.
Gosh, you don't miss a thing, Nico ...
I have had it for a cpuple of years. I love it to bits in 18K RG, but I fear I made a bad decision; the hands, dial and alarm disk don't look quite right. And I haven't been able to open the case to check all the movement details. I have been hoping for a...
It will be very tough to find the correct parts, but post it on the JLC forum, Andrew.
We'll see if anybody here has a solution for your watch. Damn nice little thing, by the way! Best, Nicolas.
This for me
9 times out of 10, this is my daily wearer. I change to go out for a client lunch or dinner into something a little different, but most times you will find this on my wrist with one strap or another depending how sunny it is...
Vintage Navitimer
I tend to wear this on a day to day basis. Primarily because I don't mind too much if it takes the scratches and bumps as I load children in and out of the car. I do wear my other vintage watches, but with so many of them parts can be rare and scarce, if ...
Yep, Ubik...
Small children in my daily life too, also is a reason to wear something you don't mind scratching... this contributed greatly to my choice of modern Daytona...
A beautiful daily beater the Daytona.
and you can always send it back to the Roelx Spa when you feel like it.
I only have ten watches...
...but these two are worn far more than the others: Emil...
the first one looks great
in a kind of laid-back, sub-atomic kind of way, but the second one from "AP" ... ? Are you sure that both of these are real ? I am neither an expert in Breitlings nor with AP s. Just being a curious fellow, amerix This message has been edited by amerix on...
Well, I assume you're kidding about "are they real"...
...the Breitling's a Navitimer Datora Montbrillant that's about nine years old now. They still make this model along with other Navitimer models. The AP's from 2000. It's a first generation Millenary, which first came out in 1996, caliber 2225, shown belo...
Hi Emil, I was just kidding - almost ;)
but in reality - flabbergasted - after me staring at such things as the deWitt X-Concept Watch and other "concepts", which have plunged me down into the dark and deeper realms of despair and despondence. And then wondering about this particular AP which s...
Not recognizing the AP is completely understandable...
...since the first generation Millenary was a bit of a flop when it was introduced and is still considered somewhat of a misfit in the AP family. But that was one of the things that attracted me to it. Although I like the Royal Oaks and Offshore models, t...
I don't have a vast collection and ...
I don't own, or plan to have, anything special or very expensive. On my day-to-day activities the one that I wear most is the Speedmaster: This one is the sapphire sandwich version. Not fancy but somehow reliable. Normally I rotate this one with another S...
Classic choice nilomis
sorry to hear about last year... I hope we are all very conscious of keeping our watches very safe and out of harm's reach...
depending on the season
I wear mostly this during hot summer days And a fair rotation of the others during the rest of the year....
Good stuff there Radone
I always like to see a Patek-beater.... it just makes me smile.
Vast...maybe less..
...probably not more than say xx watches.. May mine daily wearer is a twin too yours, but with white dial and mostly used is my white dialed Turn-O-Graph... Best Hans (credit?, A's I am away without camera..)...
Very nice, yet very sensible Hans

Despite the amount of information ...
... displayed on that IWC Perpetual Chrono, it is very easy to read all the functions. Nice pieces. Andrew
You're right...
I'm normally not a fan of the 'traditional' multi sub-dial layout of perpetual calendar but IWC really did a good job and I HAD to make an exception. Probably got something to do w/ the size!...
