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.

tkerrmd · 13 October 2015, 04:12 AM

This has been with me in every car race and crash...

SLS · 13 October 2015, 04:12 AM

My Sea Dweller, it was my first & only for a while.

Currently my Tudor pelagos blue!

withthesword · 13 October 2015, 04:25 AM

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.

Nice shots!!!!

Nice shot of Osako-jo, when I went to Japan I wore citizens and swatches back in the day, hope to go back with a Rolex this time.

steptoe · 13 October 2015, 05:24 AM

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..

strafer_kid · 13 October 2015, 06:38 AM

Gotta be SD 16600! Would take it into anything!

beer · 13 October 2015, 06:39 AM

the watch that has shared the most experiences? ...

my casio G-Shock

Vincent65 · 13 October 2015, 06:48 AM

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.

cop414 · 13 October 2015, 06:52 AM

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.

Matte that has to be one of the best story-picture combinations ever!

a fantastic journey for sure, fellow aerostich clad GS rider (all incarnations R100 to R1200)

wore my 16613 bluesy through its fair share over 20 years and even to hell and back… never would have believed it but i eventually sold it

phils · 13 October 2015, 07:06 AM

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.

Forgot to mention, it's the sub I won here on TRF back in 2012! Got my fingers crossed for the batman :D

Sam Crow · 13 October 2015, 08:08 AM

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.

arguetaoscar · 13 October 2015, 08:21 AM

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.

THC · 13 October 2015, 08:26 AM

Wow, great pics and stories, everyone... I need to get out more

all I do is watch TV and work

maxbaris · 13 October 2015, 08:51 AM

My Explorer was with me when I traveled to the US, Belgium, France, Germany, Cuba. 6 countries including Canada. Not bad.

boogiebot · 13 October 2015, 08:53 AM

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

NeedlessKane · 13 October 2015, 10:19 AM

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!
