What Three Watches Do You Actually Wear the Most Often?

[kjw]

I was considering my own modest watch collection and realized that my favorite watches are not necessarily the watches that are on my wrist the most often. What watches in your collections get the most wrist time? Here's mine:

1. G-Shock G-2800B WR200M, Tough Solar
Certainly not my favorite watch and not really into G-Shocks at all (no offense intended to those who are). However, was won over by high praise of toughness under any condition. I wear this watch while training for my first marathon and also every night to bed. So this one is actually on the wrist for more hours than any other.

2. Whatever watch has been most recently purchased. Currently that is a Tissot LeLocle. Very classy and elegant IMHO.

3. Seiko Orange Monster. This may be my favorite watch. It is the one that starts to get worn more often again after the "new" starts to wear off the most recently purchased watch.

All three were purchased used from fine members of this forum. What are your three?

Lately it's been: TSAR, V-E Arktika, and Alpha Jump hour

I wear the TSAR if it's raining and I'm going to be outside, so it's been getting extra wear time since we've had quite a bit of rain lately.

Here's my list and 3 runners up.

1. LM-1LE Still my favorite watch. Looks good on any strap I own (100+). Even after nearly 2 years I never get tired wearing or looking at it. Glows like a torch.


2. LM-2 It is the most chameleon like watch I have. Looks like a completely new watch every time I change straps. Can be a dress diver with the Ti bracelet. Glows like a torch.


3. LM-7 What can I say. It's not for everyone but I love it. I'll probably never own the original. Even if I could afford it there are too many watches ahead of it. INCREDIBLE lume. Despite all the controversy I still think it's a killer watch and a fabulous bargain even at retail. My best time keeper at ~+1 sec/day.

Runners up:

1. Bathys Aquaculture. A stunning watch with a ETA 2892-2 movement. A very good time keeper with tremendous lume that lasts all night. Only drawback for me is at 41.1mm it's right on the edge of being too small.


2. Hamilton Field Officer's Mechanical. 44mm, saphire, 100m wr, ETA 6497. A really nice hand winder with great legibility and military look. Just a real pleasure to wear. The lume isn't terribly good but is passable. May get it re lumed.


3. Citizen Eco-Zilla. There are bigger watches but few with its in your face presence. I don't care for the integral rubber strap but with a full set of Walt's adapters it can be worn with anything. An iconic dive watch with very nice bluish lume.

My calculator watch. It is definitely not my favourite watch, but it's the only one I don't care about damaging. The other two are generally the newest and second newest. Wear them for a couple of weeks to appreciate them, then go back to the calculator.

Currently it would probably be the Stowa Antea, the Alpha Paul Newman and the titanium Marina Militare.

Though strap changing and new favourite outfits (I try to accessorize my watch to my clothes, not the other way around) can change that up pretty good.

MY three favorites. All three are hand winds.
1. Luch 16 Jewel.
2. benZ 17 Jewel hand wind with date.
3. Invicta 4758 22 Jewel Mechanical Chronograph.

Boy, that's tough. I only have 25 (26?) watches and try to give them all some wrist time. Lately though, I'd have to say (in no particular order):

- Marathon TSAR on watchadoo
- JOA Luminor homage on black Heroic18 strap
- Any one of my Seiko automatics

I suspect that this will change over the next week or so, since I just got an Orient blue Mako yesterday, and another Orient arriving later this week.
