Your "go to" watch...
Many of us have collections of various sizes. Obviously we bought watches we wanted to have. But are you surprised by your "go to" pieces(s)? I find that with all my watches, Rolex and others, I like to wear this Ball watch quite a bit. This surprised me, but that's the way it is. Anyone else felt similar "surprises?

My go to is a 16610. It's perfect for me. Looks great and can take whatever I throw at it

I don't have a "go-to" watch.
My more expensive watches get the bulk of the wear, but starting tomorrow, I'm going to give the lesser watches a couple of weeks attention. They deserve it.

I spend hours each day pondering this very question. The answer is usually, I need a go-to watch.

My GMT Master 16710 is my go - to watch for most times but when things get rough such as outside work I default to the Seiko Monster.

My Explorer II 216570. And it's no beauty queen either. It takes a beating along side what ever type of work I may be doing. Couldn't be happier with this watch.

I usually end up wearing my Sub C. It could perfectly be my one and only.

I generally go on a weekly rotation. However, my LVc and 359 have been known to sneak an extra week or two on the wrist.
My LVc is my go-to in a zombie apocalypse though

It was a Submariner until the SD43 showed up. Now It is hard not to wear it all the time.

My go-to watch, on my wrist almost every day, is a 16710 BLRO. I sometimes switch off to an Omega Speedmaster.
