What time do you wear?

Brianmgrarcom,

I never owned an IWC but I have always like them... I came very close to purchasing a IWC DaVinci Perpetual Calendar but i was unable to see the day date and year. Very nice watch. I wish my eyes were better. :O)

Rolex watches, being self-winding mechanisms, must be adjusted to the user's regular movement patterns.
This is done from within the watch (by the Rolex Service guy) after the user has kept a week-long diary of daily time loss/gain.
I've had my Submariner for 20 years now and can get it accurate to +1 or +2 seconds per day.
If you don't wear your Rolex constantly but keep it on an automated moving machine, it can never be accurate for both you and the machine.
A Rolex should NEVER run slow as this will spiral into inaccuracy....rather it should always be set to run 1 or 2 seconds fast per day.

LOL, you always have the PAM's and Big Bang for bad eyesight days. :)

Either a PAM 111 or a Submariner.

I've had many others (Chronoswiss, GP, Blancpain, IWC, Silberstein, Chopard, JLC) but settled on the PAM and the Sub as the most practical.

1. Jaeger LeCoultre Master Geographic in Stainless 38mm face- my preferred watch for business and business travel.
2. Ventura Loga Steel- my first "high end" watch and still my favorite. Also 38mm face. Sadly this understated modern aesthetic company is no longer in business. I designed the Enigma to have a similar aesthetic to this amazing watch.
3. Sinn U1 with black rubber wrist band- a new watch for sailing and rugged duty. It's BIG (that's the- in- thing) but 38mm to 40mm seem a better fit for me.

Thats it-as a rule I do not spend for more then one watch per 3 to 5 years.
