What time do you wear?


What watch, if any, graces your wrist? Does time matter? You know: time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana. Either way.

I currently have three that I wear. A Fortis Flieger Chronograph, a Sinn U1, and a cheap Seiko diver. Have had a few others that were sold due to lack of wrist time. But the three listed above make me happy. I do miss a Stowa Marine Auto I had :(
Much like audio, a well built quality piece ascends above the hype and becomes a classic. I think my 1955 Universal Geneve polerouter fits the bill. Wear it every day, never had an issue.
I have a few transition era antiques that I collect for their "beautiful things" factor. About as accurate timekeepers as Bose faithfully reproduces audio though
I have a rolex gmt master II in two tone with black face which I have been wearing alomst every day. It sent my two tone rolex blue face submariner to the watchwinder and only comes out when I am in the woods, or diving. I have a rado jubilee which hasn't been worn since I got my first rolex.
Wow,

This is topic near & dear to my heart because I've been a watch freak since childhood. I can recall my six grade graduation my parents asked me what did I want for a gift I told them a watch with a day date complication.

Listed below are my current collection of timepieces. I keep everything in Underwood Watch Winders. I guess you tell I love chrono's. Thank goodness for my excel spreadsheet I was able to cut and paste. Watches are my true passion it's actually an obsession. We all have our vices. 8>)

My next addition will be the Patek Annual Calendar, in white gold. I've been at this for a while now and have no plans on stopping. My two sons have already made their claims.

Lastly for the record Rolex keep the worst time but they do have a very good resale value. My first Rolex I purchased was the OYSTER PERPETUAL DateJust in SS & 18ct. Yellow Gold in 1986 for $1800.00 I sold it in 2005 for $1700.00. I've also sold my Presidentials and made out well. I feel as if they draw too much attention and for the money you can get a much better timepiece. e.g. PATEK, VACHERON CONSTANTIN, A. LANGE & SOHNE, IWC. I like watches that most people won't have any idea what you are wearing. I could gone on with this topic all day but I won't. Does anyone have the time.

Wow Jmo, what an awesome collection! One could retire on that collection. :)

While I don't have near the experience as you, I must take exception to the statement, "Lastly for the record Rolex keep the worst time..."
Clearly you own the brand so you have experience, but I find this untrue for several (good) reasons. First, I too have experience with the brand and have found them to do a stellar job; Second, I have spent a fair amount of time on TimeZone.com, too much in fact, and the track record of the MANY people on those forums differs with your view; Third, while I have not read a lot of reviews in watch magazines, the few I have read have always given Rolex high marks in this area.

Again, awesome collection, I'd love to see a picture of all them in one shot.
