Some people have a watch in their collection that they rarely wear but could never get rid of. What's yours? I'll start with my Tudor Big Block:

What a beauty, Adam.

You have to give that classic more wrist time!

Don't wear this much but it's got my name on it, so it's staying.

Sweet Big Block!

I thought it would be my Benrus Type II Class A UDT but it is actually for sale over on MWR. I have a rule that every other time something comes in something else has to go. So I had to choose between the Benrus and another

The other was my SM300 - which is the watch I rarely wear but will hang onto:

I rarely wear this, but it was my first and the one that started me on this path to watch (Heaven)(Hell). So I will never part with it.

HERITAGE82 · 7 September 2015, 01:14 AM

^.... Great watches guys!

For me it my most cherished but least worn...

springer · 7 September 2015, 01:30 AM

My 1980 Tudor chrono does not get get any wrist time at all. It is one of the few I have that is so original, I would hate to have it become dinged or scratched!!! Another one that I haven't worn in a couple decades, after I had it serviced, is my vintage Breitling Top Time. Both are great chronos.

This one very rarely comes out of the safe. I just turned down a very generous offer for it due to the 60 years of family history. maybe someday I will bring myself to parting with it rather than relegate it to a permanent status of "safe queen"...

A beauty that seriously requires wearing. Valuable of course but 99% of people wouldn't have a clue about that!

locutus49 · 7 September 2015, 03:06 AM

My Hulk.

Since I got the Platona it is all I ever wear.

Wow Another beauty that I would wear.
Think about the lives these watches have seen and were built for... They can take it.

PTruong · 7 September 2015, 03:39 AM

My Breitling and SubC.

Frosty · 7 September 2015, 04:03 AM

Since, I got my GMT 1675, all the others go unworn.

I look at them, then the 1675, and leave it on my wrist.

Sometimes, when I am going for a hike I take the Casio Rangeman for its ABC Technology.

QueueCumber · 7 September 2015, 09:06 AM

All of them. I've been too depressed to wear anything.

Sorry to hear that; but it will go and you'll want to wear watches again.

zapokee · 8 September 2015, 09:23 AM

All super watches, gents! It's a shame that these don't see more daylight. I pulled out my Big Block and wore it today!

Dashimmy · 7 September 2015, 01:40 PM

If we are talking Rolex it's my Daytona. If a watches it's my gold filled Astronaut.
