My 1980 Moonwatch at the mo
Sent from my EML-L09 using Tapatalk
IWC Mark XVIII, “Tribute to Mark XI”. Only 1948 of these were released back in 2017. I acquired this in February of this year. At present it’s my only automatic. I’ve worn it for a couple of months at a time and have had no particular desire to wear anything else. I’m not a collector. I’ve had a couple of the Mark XV model and would like to have a Mark XII one day.
My 16570 Explorer II (black dial) is getting all my attention right now. It’s seen by many as the less-loved little brother of the GMT Master II, but I think it’s superior. It’s more stealthy, more versatile, and has almost all the same features for less money. Love it.

As it’s my latest incoming, this is the current flavour of the month!
When this first arrived I was not sure if I would keep it, but now I cannot stop wearing it.Originally Posted by will128small
Same here
Cheap as chips compared to most on here, but it’s currently this chunk of micro brand quartz Titanium. Rather scary how good it is for a shade over £250!

Pretty sure that’s not true. People don’t always wear their favourite on a Friday. The OPs topic was a good one not sure why you took to trying to shoot it down.
OP my current favourite has to be the 2254. That’s with summer being upon us and I love it on a NATO.

IWC Aquatimer 812 AD from the late 1960s? Definitely a watch to be proud of.I think it's this one...but
Correct (July 1967).
Thank you, it is indeed a lovely thing.
This one is a bit of a rarity as I've only seen one other that has all the bezel markers lumed.
Same here. Another vote from me, my first Rolex and having tried a fair few others, this still is my favouriteStill this one

I keep checking them out on Chrono 24. There’s some lovely examples - with price tags to match - but yours looks better than any available there. Can I ask how long you’ve owned it?
I got it in April 2007 and had it serviced by IWC at the end of 2008...I'm ashamed to say that it's hardly seen the light of day since.
The colours just work so much better than the BLRO.

Me too. My 116710BLNR is the current favourite in my collection.
Rolex maybe obvious and some may say boring, but my 16600 is giving me the most enjoyment right now, although I have just ordered my first pair of glasses as I noticed reading the date was starting to get difficult, joys of getting old!!
Tough choice but probably this one at the moment

My ‘68 Speedmaster ‘Transitional’. It’s been the favourite for a long time now. My problem is that there’s a significant cluster (double figures) in joint second, which makes it very difficult to trim the numbers.
Stowa Flieger Bronze Vintage 36. I wear it almost daily now on rotation with the Hamilton Pilot Pioneer Mechanical so essentially they both get equal wrist time I suppose.
it is rather strange that after I got this around two months ago, I started to loss interest in my Seikos or even the YM that I was planned to save for...
might be I just wanted to have this over the past ten years and subconsciously I think I am done in the pursuing of any new watches.
I allways come back to my "simple" PRS29, built 2018, ... 100% readable and... strong ... and still nice to see.

Impeccable!I think it's this one...but
I seem to be wearing my Victorinox Inox an awful lot lately, mainly due to the that I’m doing bits and bobs around the house and garden rather than it being a current favourite.
I think right now, my favourite is a rather marmite watch… Longines Avigation Big Crown Monopusher Chrono. Or some words to that effect… rather a mouthful whatever it’s called.
All the things I shouldn’t like in a watch… and yet somehow gives me joy.
Cheers, it is a nice one...
This has to be my current favourite which is getting a great deal of wrist time since I acquired it from a fellow TZ'er. It wears perfectly on my wrist & the case finishing is fantastic, beadblasted, brushed & polished elements making an interesting contrast. Having the bracelet which is quite scarce I believe is a bonus too, along with the 'Kodiak' waterproof leather strap.
Excuse the Q&D photo taken the other day, in very poor light.
Tough question.
I’m in love with my seamaster too. Ceramic wave dial!

Watch I am wearing the most at the moment = Aqua terra day date and Sinn ux !
A nice contrast
I'm with the "which is you favourite child" view, I have many watches and all have an appeal.
The latest arrival always gets a lot of wrist time, just to see how it looks, feels and runs, but it doesn't automatically become my favourite.
Same with the Friday watch. I either just have the same watch I ended Thursday in or pick something I think will appeal to some when it appears in the thread.

Breitling Cosmonaute 809 - What's not to like?
Despite having a few other, possibly 'nicer' watches, this one ticks all the boxes for me. I'm pretty much a one-watch person thanks to the 7A!
I like that. Rather a lot. It combines a set of features that seem pretty unpopular right now - a slim rotating bezel, large, clear chrono subdials and a nicely-integrated bracelet - yet to my eye those features make the design coherence all the greater, and improves functionality. Not sure about the crown placement, but I could live with it.
The crown is the least used 'device' on the watch (twice a year when the clocks change), so having it tucked away where it is makes perfect design sense. A bezel on a chrono is quirky but it comes in handy. Plus it's a marvel of engineering inside and is amongst the most accurate mechanical quartz watches ever made (I know it lays claim to being the first).
Overall. As you allude, everything about it just seems to 'work'. I have two others as 'spares', plus lots of parts too - so, yep, it's the watch for me above all others

Has been this for years
For me it's always the most recent incoming which is this at the moment.
I see that as a modern classic…..an attempt by Rolex to get the basic shape slimmer (lugs) and the whole design better-looking. It will , I think, influence many designs. If only by finally getting the lugs right.For me it's always the most recent incoming which is this at the moment.
I'm a fan of the obese plots. I went to RSJ yesterday to get a bigger blade and it fits gre6 now. I am keen to try find a way to get my SD43 on Oysterflex but that will be difficult.
Never been one to care about lugs but I do think the crown on this looks a bit out when it's screwed in, just a bit scared to force it.
It is a fantastic watch. Damn near perfect
Outside of Submariners and Seadwellers, my favorite Rolex.
Just wonder if bezel
Markings in white could be an improvement.
This one is getting a lot of wrist time at the mo. Got a 1.5 link fitted at AP house and feels perfect now.

I have nicer / expensive blah blah, but prefer this above them all.
Your WG YM sure does look stealthy and sleek
What size wrists do you have?
That’s one of the best looking watches I’ve seen in a little while….off to chrono24 I go!I think it's this one...but
