I just cleaned the bracelet on it with a ultra sonic cleaner but I think I'll keep this NATO strap on for a few weeks

A 16610 Sub Date has been on my wrist by far more than any other watch in my life. Followed by an 116610 LN. That said, the 116610 LV is gaining the most wrist time currently. It's just amazing!

Through the 80's my Longines VHP was my 'work' watch.

The most accurate watch I have ever owned.

Seiko alarm quartz for me. My parents bought it for me when I was 15. I wore it everyday for 21 years until the crown fell out. It never sees wrist time anymore, seems too small now. I split wrist time now with my GMT and a seiko kinetic GMT I wear as a beater.

Non Rolex, Seiko Black Monster has been my "go to" tool watch for years.

Very tasteful!

Mine has to be my Omega Seamaster Pro. I got it in 1995 and wore it until 2007.

Although I wear it infrequently, I have owned a vintage Patek since November 1993 (19 yrs). In terms of wear, it was an Omega Broad Arrow from 2002 to 2010 (8 yrs). This was during a period when I was not as interested in watches as I was before or since. During my watch "madness" times, if memory serves, it was my Rolex 1665 Sea Dweller. I wore that from 1988 (?) to 1992 (?), about 4 years.

Wore my Omega AT for almost a year straight, but my SD is quickly catching up! In terms of total wrist time though, some Timexes I had as a kid probably come close. Seems like I had several for multiple years and never took them off!

Probably my wenger commando chrono. Sadly earlier this year I brought the watch to get the battery changed and one of the sundial hands fell off! Not wanting to go through the hassle of sending it back to wenger I just put it in storage. Maybe someday I'll send it to be repaired.
