From my massive collection of 2 I think I've really come to appreciate my GMT Master for it's incredible versatility. Plus I got it onto a Nato this year which I'm loving.

That is pretty! Don't think I've seen one before, what is it?Originally Posted by Top Cat
I have been through a lot of watches this year but this one has given me the most smiles
From my personal collection, it's got to be this...
And my favourite affordable* watch launched in 2015 is this...

I think my sea dweller non ceramic has been the most worn for me this year surprisingly.
Its an Omega Speedmaster MKII which has had the black DLC coating applied and the hands replaced with luminous yellow ones. It's certainly eye catching!
Basically a toss up between my Pelagos and my Seiko MM300. Both still bring a smile to my face and are pretty frequent selections from the watch box. But, on reflection 9 times out of 10 this year when I've been on holiday or away from home for a night or two and have been limited to one watch it has been the Tudor that has travelled with me.
Has to be the Tudor Pelagos. Looks so right to me, I do love a Ti watch and the hand set and indices fit the design perfectly. Also the way it suits the bracelet, tudor rubber (with the bracelet end links), Isofrane and Nato (especially Eddie's new grey one!) makes it a winner for me.
I really like this mod. Who did that for you?
Probably worn this the most to be honest throughout 2015.
This little chap...
I see what you did there 😉

That is a beauty...My most worn and favourite from this year has to be this one
For the value with my money, quality and time of wear I say the Seiko Velatura. I bought it new for under 200usd, amazing quality for that and had it on the entire summer which was like three months. But 49mm is to much for me nowdays, sadly. So flipped it but still best deal of 2015 and the watch I enjoyed the most! Wish it had been 42mm though...
Either of these
Its a difficult one as I love both of of these and every time I put one of them on it always brings a smile to my face

Lovely watch, what size is that one?My rate fo churn has changed a lot int he 6 years I've been here. Had this one for 6 months now and it's been my most worn this year.

My most worn watch of both 2014 and 2015.
I had to have one when it came out, and got engaged so it's my engagement / wedding watch. I almost went fo the SDC, but when the newlyweds ordered one in for me to see, I had to have it!
seriously amazing feeling movement, lighter than I thought and I definitely will never sell this!
I bought some great watches in 2015.
I wore the BLNR quite a lot after getting it - a cracking watch and the JLC is truly lovely, but in a cash raising exercise (flat purchase with my Son) they have both had to go, so I guess the EZM1 is this years winner for me.

Wanted - Damasko DC57
My most worn, either on the bracelet or on a black nato, has been my skx013 this year:
Got my grail this year: so it has to be this one :-
I have two favourites from this year which I have been looking at for some time, as I haven't seen many about.
Firstly an Omega Railmaster 39mm
Then a no date Longines Legend Diver
I'm really happy with both of them but if I had to pick out of the two I think that the Railmaster just edges into the lead
Despite new arrivals like an Omega smpc, Strela cosmos, JS watch co 101.....the personality of this one has shon through from start to finish:
This got the most wear as my Mon-Fri go to general purpose watch.
16610 on one of Eddies NATO's
Now my one and only Breitling but still the favourite of the current collection in 2015

Oh, that's pretty. How affordable is affordable?From my personal collection, it's got to be this...

RRP looks to be £6,400.
Classy looking watch for sure

Ah, that sort of affordable.
As in not affordable :-(
<sits and waits by SC>
Thanks. It's the Large (biggest 3 hander they do, often incorrectly called the XL). Measures 38mm wide on the case, 41.something with the crown.
Cheers,
Ian
It's the OEM Omega NATO that comes with the LE Solar Impulse version of the X33. It's a good strap, but such a strong colour!
These two, thanks guys, you know who you are. Happy Xmas & New Year. All the best to the forum and harmony.
Was ist das?From my personal collection, it's got to be this...
My favourite has been the Nomos Tangente Sport I bought from another member. I was looking for an everyday dressier watch and this fits very well. 100m WR, a little bit of lume and slightly larger than the standard Tangente have won me over. Also the timekeeping is excellent at a very stable +1.9spd.
It's an MIH, have a look at this...

I think it's a dead heat between these two.
I surprised my self by wearing this lot during the year as I a consider my self to be a vintage Omega guy.......
I love this and the "what are you going to buy in 2016" threads. They make me feel totally comforted in advance of spending (wasting) money on even more watches again next year, thanks for the gentle preparation
A few bits and pieces have come and gone since I joined the forum. Below are a few that I've either newly acquired, serviced or modded since I started here.
This got bleached, still enjoy wearing it regularly.
Love this 6309 even though it has an after market dial.
Another special Seiko, one of my favourites this year thanks to Wayne/Yungsung.
Newly acquired and freshly serviced by Duncan.
Had the good fortune to receive a free service for this from Omega UK. I had previously stopped wearing it after it started running 20 secs/d slow a couple of years ago.
Really enjoying this thanks to Ken/Wallasey Runner.
My Submariner has been sold this week along with the Planet Ocean. I initially enjoyed them both, eventually I decided neither were for me.
I will add a pic of my PRS18-A when it returns from having its bracelet beadblasted. Couldn't begin to choose an overall favourite.

Very hard to say. Maybe this one:
Have to agree with you there Roy (although I've had it off) I've sold a couple of high end watches like my Omega 2264 and Damasko DA36 which were fantastic watches, but there's something about this Seiko which makes it a very wearable watch for me and pick it up more than others.
Cheers, this is my first one of this style. I couldn't believe the weight and feel of it, it must be doing something right to oust your beauties!Have to agree with you there Roy (although I've had it off) I've sold a couple of high end watches like my Omega 2264 and Damasko DA36 which were fantastic watches, but there's something about this Seiko which makes it a very wearable watch for me and pick it up more than others.
Should be this One...
But it spend most of the time at OSC and just starting to bond with it...
This one was very much appreciated when I started using Nato/Zulu with 3 rings
And this one is for a careless Day...
That's a lovely pic of Seamaster GMT
Hard to say but right now,I would say this- may be because it is a recent arrival
Nice. How did you date it? I have one and couldn't figure it out as yet. Don't think it has a year letter on the hsllmarks.For me this birth year Chronograph Suisse 18ct gold chrono, bought from a much-respected fellow TZUKer.
I thought that looked expensive...From my personal collection, it's got to be this...
*Roger Smith excluded
It's beautiful though.
i didnt buy many this year and the birth of my first kid means this will probably be true until i retire!
However, my fave watch was probably my DSSD but then i bought a breitling mesh yesterday and i cant believe how ace my SOH looks on it and it suddenly feels like my fave of the year even at this late stage of the game:
I finally found a chronograph that was the right size, comfortable and a little bit special.
