Your "go to" watch...
Many of us have collections of various sizes. Obviously we bought watches we wanted to have. But are you surprised by your "go to" pieces(s)? I find that with all my watches, Rolex and others, I like to wear this Ball watch quite a bit. This surprised me, but that's the way it is. Anyone else felt similar "surprises?

My go to is a 16610. It's perfect for me. Looks great and can take whatever I throw at it

Same here, although I do tend to favor my GMT-II when I travel.

I don't have a "go-to" watch.
My more expensive watches get the bulk of the wear, but starting tomorrow, I'm going to give the lesser watches a couple of weeks attention. They deserve it.

DSSD deep blue...I've gotten so used to its larger size that anything smaller feels weird

I spend hours each day pondering this very question. The answer is usually, I need a go-to watch.

My GMT Master 16710 is my go - to watch for most times but when things get rough such as outside work I default to the Seiko Monster.

My Explorer II 216570. And it's no beauty queen either. It takes a beating along side what ever type of work I may be doing. Couldn't be happier with this watch.

I usually end up wearing my Sub C. It could perfectly be my one and only.

I generally go on a weekly rotation. However, my LVc and 359 have been known to sneak an extra week or two on the wrist.
My LVc is my go-to in a zombie apocalypse though

It was a Submariner until the SD43 showed up. Now It is hard not to wear it all the time.

you have much more patience than me. Im usually like Mr. Rogers from the TV show i watched as a kid. He always had to change his shoes every time he went into his house. Im lucky if i can go an entire day without changing watches at some point.

My go-to watch, on my wrist almost every day, is a 16710 BLRO. I sometimes switch off to an Omega Speedmaster.
