What is the most worn watch in your collection?

Stowa Airman 40 mm, COSC certified, old style Flieger strap.

It's a real sticker. Can't get it off my wrist. :shock:

Eddie and the Rollers have it!

Seiko beats Omega and Sinn!!

Breitling, Damasko and Citizen neck-and-neck . .

Panerai at the bottom - surprise! (beaten out by my Titan Commander :wink: )

Surprising what you can find to do at 7 am . . .

Good work! :D

For the last few months, this beat-up old thing has been the one I grab first.



I'm still searching for an original bracelet knocked around enough to match the watch. For now, I managed to squeeze on a thick black 22mm strap.

That's a smashing Heuer, what model is it?

Thanks, Jeremy. It's a ref.510.501, but it's generally refered to as a 1000 Series. Heuer produced steel, "pewter," black PVD, and olive drab versions in the early to mid-80s, right through the transition into Tag-Heuer. In fact, later versions had TH dials and case backs.

Heuer also used this case for the Valjoux 7750-powered Pasadena.

I'll put up another one that is not on the list. :o The Ebehard Traversetolo.

I can't seem to get this one off the wrist.



Also on a new Alligator strap.

I'd have problems taking it off too, if it were mine. They are beautiful pieces!! That's a nice strap too :D

And if I was asked which watch would I like to be wearing it would be this one

[raysablade]

I look at the options but most mornings resistance is futile.

I don?t think I could call the small number of watches I have a collection as such as they have all been in daily use.

My first Camel Trophy Professional will always be very special, not because it was the first expensive (£500) watch I bought, rather because it has been through so much with me.



Bought in 1996, it has travelled extensively to some very remote places such as the Sahara, Tropical Rainforests, Mountains, with both extremes of heat and cold. It has been on my wrist through various life threatening events and it has been with me to Intensive Care several times following venomous snake-bites. I?ve wrangled Crocs and Gators and worked with everything from scorpions and snakes to Gorillas and Chimps with it on my wrist. It has been on TV and in press photos numerous times and has been in the presence people ranging from the poorest lepers to the Presidents and Royals of several countries. ?? all in all it has had an interesting life. It may only be a ?quartz?, but for me it has a different kind of value than that simply calculated in £££?s



I bought a second, identical watch as a spare in 2003.

[BruceS]

Wow what an interesting story! I have to admit that I've never even heard of that brand, but they sure sound tough!!
Cheers,

Mighty kind of you to say, Inspector. I rather like it myself.

I could wear it in the Ferrari or Gulfstream, Monaco or Moscow, fighting forest fires, putting out burning oil wells, protecting G8 delegates, relieving works of art from the Louvre.... ah it needs a bracelet you say...... if I threw the materials within ten feet it might fabricate one on its own...

Lately, the one that got the most wrist time was the PRS-4 on a black 2-ring Rhino strap (so all's black). I sometimes switch to the PRS-10 to have a lighter watch and give my wrist some rest... and as it's on a NATO (Bond) there is less steel to get in the way if I sit at my desk with my wrist resting on the tabletop (I wear the NATO strap the other way around with the buckle and rings on the inside towards me).
If I travel, I just wear the PRS-4 and leave the rest at home.

Sinn 656, surprise surprise. I really ought to stop buying more watches, ought not to have bought any really, because they just don't get the wrist time except on weekends. I've been thinking about why this is, and I suspect that it's because the 656 gives the impression of being as good as a basic wristwatch needs to be: you could get a better, but not so much so that it really matters. Then again, I am wondering whether the fact that I'm to an island resort for the weekend justifies my getting a Citizen diver for snorkelling and beating: But I Will Be Strong!

A very apt description, Kamraj ... that embodies part of the appeal of the 656 (the other one being that it can be both a tool and a dress watch). :)
