Probably a Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 5402ST that I regret selling in 2002.

My Explorer 14270, that I bought new in the mid 1990s. Was my only, and daily, wearer for ten years. It is still the watch that get's the most wrist time. I am wearing it now, and it gives me as much (if not more) pleasure as it did the day I bought it.

I'd probably say a Cartier Tank Francais that I wore daily for 6 years. Bought as my first 'fine' Swiss watch when I turned 21 and got my first job out of college.

I let it go in 2005, and I'd say since then, I've worn a DJ the most, but my Daytona is really catching up!!!

They all get rotated pretty evenly but I'd guess my SD and GMT are tied. My wife just wears her DJ every single day.

I wore this one 24/7 for 12 years. I started wearing it at age 21 and only started "collecting" watches a couple years ago:)

Probably my lord Elgin 1951 dress watch gets the most wrist time. I've owned it for about a month now and I just can't seem to pry the ole girl off my wrist. She's small at only 31mm but she looks absolutely great on the wrist!

My old Seiko quartz 100 digital/analog sports watch has spent the most time on my wrist, nearly 10 years continuously. Once I got into Rolex and other watches, I began rotating them, so no watch spend more than a month or two on my wrist before I rotated it.

Casio G shock until the pushers would not work any more and the plastic came off the case. Then my Seiko diver I purchased in 1995 and still gets wrist time. But my 16610 is my everydayer.

Whoa! What a surprise to see a Bulova 23 self-winding! It's my thinnest watch. I think I'll wear it today.

Seiko titanium.
Bought about 15 years ago and worn pretty much everyday and for every activity until I bought my DJ in 2010.
It's only ever needed a couple of batteries and I still wear it occasionally although the glass is quite scratched up now.

Good question. I've been rotating through all of my watches but if I were to guess I'd say my SD.

Both my Heuer watches. The 1942 gold chrono was my daily wearer between 1980, when I inherited it, and 1990, when I bought TAG F1, which then became my daily 'beater' of choice until 1997, when I bought my first Rolex. Several have come and gone since, and some other vintage have been added (Omega), but these 2 have had the most wrist-time
