Which watch has shared most experiences with you?
Basically your "go to watch".
Doesn't have to be the first one you purchased, but the one that has seen your wrist the most. That one that goes with you when you're traveling, hiking, shopping, whatever it is. For me it is definitely this one. Though I haven't got too many watches, I doubt any other watch I purchase will tick all the boxes this one does. SS for being light and durable, splash of color for fun factor, extremely durable, and dual time for a person that is always traveling. I am really happy this was my first Rolex purchase, and currently my only Rolex. Seen some guys with really impressive collections on here; Would be nice to see which watch is everyone's "go to" watch.

No doubt, my 1680 Sub has been to twenty three countries. I got married wearing it, and I wore it when my daughter was born. Now that is a good history.

my 14060m for sure. it's been with me to cuba, iceland, england, france, norway, belgium, and switzerland. i've worn it in garrison and in the field. i've worn it on charity runs, and obstacle runs. in the water, and on the ski slopes. it was even traded away for a year or so, before somehow miraculously ending back up in my hands.
no way it's ever leaving me. too many memories attached to it.

An old 1980's brietling Navitimer 3100.
It's skydived, dug out landrovers in the sahara, surfed and been down a waterfall in sri-lanka, motorcycled into africa and been serviced once. The deep scratch on the side was obtained from sliding along the fuselage outside of a Hercules... Thought i'd lost it as it was happening. And It's why i'll never sell it... every mark and scratch has a story..

This one - owned since 1980. Was my uncle's from new. Wore it solidly for the first 10 years, and in rotation after that, but not much recently.
1942 18ct gold Heuer chrono. These days, it could be one of a few vintage Rolex.

Great shots and stories guys, my most "experienced" watch has to be a tie between my Submariner and my Omega Seamaster with the Sub starting to gain ground on the Omega.

My wonderful 5513, bought in1967 and now owned by my middle daughter, which has been through many adventures, has the most.
Next would be my 16610 that my wife bought me in 2000 which has many dog adventures from obedience, tracking, agility, rally, and Dock Dog Diving. |

My Sub, first Rolex owned since '99, with my '68 Speedy Pro being runner up. With it's superior waterproofness, the Sub has been my go-to watch for travel. Bought in Australia, has been to France, Italy, the Netherlands, the Caribbean, US, Mexico and all over Canada. Both have had their share of abuse and still going strong.

13 Years together, lived in 3 continents, numerous adventures and with me in both the most happiest memorable moments as the most saddest ones. My GMT 16700.

I've only had it for a year but it has definitely earned its place as my go to watch and will be so for many years to come.

It has to be one of my subs. I would say I wear one of them 98% of the time I have a watch on

My Seiko chronograph that I got for Christmas when I was 15. I wore it everyday for 10 years. Still runs great.
I hope to have some great adventures in my Sub! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
