My Patek 3712 has been my most worn...
Tough to pick a favourite out of it, the Red Sub and the Zenith Daytona though!

I purchased more expensive watches in the last year, but nothing provided more satisfaction than this Seiko "5", which I modded to look like a Citizen quartz watch from the 80s (I think Citizen has reissued this model recently as well). Finding all the parts and doing all the work myself makes for a special bond with the watch.
At the moment it is the PRS20 full lume.
It is back on the Ostritch strap now.
Easy one for me, my Sub LVc - no contest.
Despite buying quite a few shiny toys this year, I seem to keep coming back to this:
This has been getting a lot of wrist time since its arrival...

This UJS for me. I think those with Dornbluths, Journes, and other small independents would understand the appeal.
My rate fo churn has changed a lot int he 6 years I've been here. Had this one for 6 months now and it's been my most worn this year.

My most worn and favourite from this year has to be this one
Probably had more pound for pound value and use out of my Smiths PRS-36 this year, so that's where my vote goes.
Favourite watch of 2015? Well I bought my first luxury watch this year in the form of a Longines HydroConquest 41mm Automatic. It was a very proud moment for me but it was also kind of expensive (for me) so it might be my favourite watch of 2016 as well!
I bought this in the summer, and it's rarely been off my wrist. Now, if I could just find the perfect strap...
what strap is that wol?Originally Posted by Qatar-wol
probably
It has been my Smiths Everest. I bought it new in 2011 but just this year found a bracelet I can use with it which gives it the title of My Watch of 2015:
This has really taken me. Always loved the original but this is a different league

Bought in 2013, serviced in early 2015 and worn daily almost ever since.

There have been a few highlights but like TakesALickin, my favourite is the one that involved a bit more personal thought and effort than usual.
I got this as a surprise anniversary gift from the Mrs, I haven't had it off yet. Definitely a real favourite.
Found my perfect beater in February. Been on my wrist nearly every day at some point since.
I have bought and sold a few this year, but this one is my hightlight of 2015

favourite as it has just arrived
I've only bought one watch this year (and it hasn't arrived yet, so this creation photo will have to do).
has to be this really,bought new on impulse at a very good price from an omega AD in northern spain........................
This Skyliner from 1968 arrived at the start of the year. Both in original spec and in current condition is its a good step or two up from my battered old Seikos, so it felt like a real treat when I got it, and the pleasure I get from it hasn't faded at all. Part of my regular rotation, it gets plenty of wear.
I've already managed to add a couple of tiny but visible dings to it, but never mind ;)
For me ... this one.
I have been through a lot of watches this year but this one has given me the most smiles
