I seem to have been wearing my Squale 2002 rather often. Just seem to like it almost as a beater. Which Midrangers excel for you above and beyond your luxuries?

It's just a matter of time...
Another vote for the Omega SMP here. The 2254.50 is silly cheap for what it is and makes a great daily.
At the moment I'm wearing the blnr more than the AP

Why?
In the same vein which cheaper jeans do you wear more than your more expensive designer brands?
Well I wouldn't call a BLNR "mid-range" per-se haha. But each to their own...
Someone who lies about the little things will lie about the big things too.
I understand what you mean
Perfect choice. I gave mine to my son for his 16th Bday 3years ago and miss wearing it +++

I'm on a bit of a mid range renaissance. I am a big fan of Eddie's watches, so the Dreadnaught Voyager and the PRS-12 have been getting worn a lot lately. That my Seiko Landmaster and my more 'expensive' G-shocks (Rangeman and Frogman) have been winners as of late. I get as much joy out of them as my more higher end stuff and think that will not change.

My lower end piece that punches above its weight is the steinhart bronze - it gets a disproportionate amount of time in my wrist. Draws a lot of comment too. No one knows what it is

All I'd say is the most expensive watch I own isn't necessarily the best. So I wear the 'best' one more often than the most expensive.

Seems like a strange question. Never considered my interest in wearing a watch would be related to it's place in a hierachy of monetary value.
My 'mid-range' watch that gets worn more than a lot more expensive watches is my 1969 Omega Speedmaster Mark 2. I bought that for about a grand 3 years ago and after a full service with my watch maker looks brand new.
It will never get sold!
Sinn, Seiko's and Speedmasters get a lot of wrist time these days.
The watch that feels like "home" for me is my '65 Seamaster. It cost 300 quid or so and I wear it more often than anything else, including pieces worth over ten times that. I don't usually think in terms of high/low end but rather what calls to me or what I need for the day. Having said that I seem far less interested these days in more expensive watches and am unlikely I think to buy anything additional that would cost me over 3k second hand. But a good Speedy is probably still in my future...
I guess mid range could mean different things to different people.
I am defining £300 - £1000 price paid as mid range.
Anonimos and Doxas bought used. Love them
....All my watches are mid range :(
I don't have any top range
But then one man's midrange is another man's top range etc
I just wear what I'm happiest with
Good luck everybody. Have a good one.

One thing I've noticed from having been to several g2Gs is that people tend to view their various watches as equals, as if the price is only the cost of getting the watch into the collection, and irrelevant after that.
A friend has a new Maserati ; but he usually drives his ten year old Saab. Same with watches. You get comfortable with things.
Same here, or more my midrange is my toprange. But I do wear my old cheap n chearful CWC G10 fatboy more than any other watch so it's all relevant.
F at boy? Yesterday's low range is tomorrow's mid range!
Good luck everybody. Have a good one.
"Few people care what kecks you wear,
But, if you're out on the cop, splash out on your top..."
Near perfect example of two things that do the same thing which are bought for completely different reasons.
This is one of my mid-range watches which gets a lot of wrist time.
Basically, a great all-round watch which is not showy/too big, not too common on the streets of Leicestershire but is, IMVHO, a versatile, quality timepiece.
Exactly this.

The one I am wearing most these days. But really agree with the comment that the price of the watch is just what it costs to get it into your collection. After that it's in the gang .

MM300 pushes the Sub into second place, often.
I'm happy to wear a £50 amphibia. That would count as high-end for most of the population of planet Earth. Wear what you like and be happy you are blessed with anything at all.
Another Omega here, though mine is the quartz version 2542.80. I prefer its low profile and quartz movement when I make my business travels.
