Looks like i found my ideal 5 watch rotation >>>

[martini]

My current rotation is a speedmaster pro, and a seamaster planet ocean.

I'd like a Reverso, and an IWC Portuguese.

The 18K gold ones have a hallmarked gold rear and a brass inner stiffening dust cover. The plated ones tend to have a plain steel rear. I have an 18K one, they are cheap as chips for the level of style.

It's definetely plated then as it has a steel rear. I agree with you on the style to value ratio!

Out of my twenty plus watches, these five are seeing the most wrist time lately. Interestingly, the Vostok and Bulova have displaced a Doxa Sharkhunter, Fortis B42 and Seiko SBDX001. That says something about the two cheapies!

[deerworrier]

got it down to 7 and really cant figure out how to go lower!
the Kobold is gone as I got my Guinand back (a mistake never to be made again) and the UX for all my smashy smashy,bang bang type activities.

That Junghans is a nice looking watch, never seen nor heard of them before.

Quite reasonable too based on a quick Google search.

I challenge anyone to provide a5 rotation plan under $2000

Assuming you can sniff out a couple second hand...

Sinn 556
PRS Everest
G Shock any variant
Stowa Marine Automatic
PRS-3 or a PRS-300

Think you'd have most basis covered there.

[gbn13]

The 5 that I am currently wearing most are:
Explorer II 16570
Milgauss Z-blue
Speedy Moon
North Flag
Pelagos

[Beaunidle]

Down at a three watch rotation now (although, bonus time in the new year and another grand of 'hidden' money as my ten year anniversary payment in a couple of days.........)

Steinhart Ocean 1 Vintage Military - Tough as old boots, on sand Nato at the moment
Tudor Heritage Ranger - On bracelet, good from boardroom to bar
JLC Master Hometime - My winder queen, for when one of the good suits go on, for those power meetings

[Paul Stomach]

I've got 5 watches. So I reckon they're my ideal 5 at the moment:

116600
Milgauss GV
Speedy Reduced
PRS Everest
PO8500 42mm black bezel

I do want both an Aqua Terra (blue, 42mm) and some sort of fancy white faced dressy watch (eg a Lange Saxonia or something like that) so something might have to give should either of those arrive.

[Jonboy]

From my humble collection, I find I am wearing these the most:

Seiko Monster (original black face for work)
Glycine Sub Combat black/orange face
Tissot PRC 200 black face
Orient Blue Mako

G-Shock 6900 to set them with

I haven't worn any of the others for a while now but they make the watch boxes look nice and full.

I have promised myself a Sinn Pilots watch one day... And a Sea Dweller...

[TakesALickin]

That Junghans is a nice looking watch, never seen nor heard of them before.

Quite reasonable too based on a quick Google search.

A quick forum search on "Junghans" (search titles only) yielded eight pages of matches. Should get you lots of info.

[MadeOfCheese]

...but on the basis of "most worn":

Sea Dweller 16600 - my "beater"
Sea Dweller 1665
Pepsi GMTII 16710
JLC Tribute to Deep Sea Memovox
Speedy 3592.50 (Moonwatch with sapphire back)

[carbuilder]

My five most worn are;

Rolex GMT
Rolex Sub' 'Hulk'
Breitling Titanium Avenger Chrono' (probably my most 'daily' one)
Breitling Superocean Heritage Chrono'
Zenith El Primero Chrono' (with lairy yellow face)

[trisdg]

My five at the moment are:

Rolex GMT-II 16710
Omega Speedy Pro Alaska Project
Panerai PAM512
Tudor Pelagos
Precista PRS-3

Wear any of them any day of the week and each one puts a smile on my face :-)

[Chewitt13]

[kultschar]

[Gavbaz]

Rubbish picture, a little diver centric and a little more humble than some of the fantastic rotations listed above but.....

Sinn 104 St Sa a

Breitling Superocean A17360

Seiko orange monster 1st Gen

Seiko Skx007 on jubilee

Scurfa Diver one PVD on rubber

Unfortunately my TAG isnt seeing much wrist time these days! :)

[JeremyO]

Mine are:

Omega Seamaster 120m, 2001 model which I wear the most
Rolex Submariner for a change
Omega SMP 300 Quartz for holidays and hobbies
Omega Constellation, 1964 model, inherited from my dad for more dressy occasions

I'm more than happy with these and can't see myself getting any more.

[Cavham]

Mine are

Rolex DSSD Blue
Rolex Explorer 11
IWC Portuguese
Sinn U1 on grey toshi starp
Omega Dark side of the moon

maybe need to flip one soon for a dress watch:)

[markosgr28]

Five watches is a satisfactory number (diver, dress, pilot, chrono, daily beater), but I'm pretty sure that soon something will bling to me and my decision would be not to let something from the existing five go.

Apart from that, at the moment I have 3 watches not willing to separete with for any reason from my late grandfather and my late father. So keeping this leaves space for just two more. This is not something I'm considering. Also, I have 5-6 watches given to me as gifts on special occassions. Some situation here.

So, leaving these aside, if I had to keep five from my current collection and be happy, my choice would be: sub nd, smp quartz, tag 2000 exclusive chrono, seiko skx007 on rubber and citizen ny0045.
