Ooooh d.....rool. Love that, a lot.I have a Pam183 from 2004 - G series, the original 183 the only year the `Black Seal` legend is at 6 o clock.
It`s never been worn, i don`t really know why, it`s just too elegant to get beaten up, i`m not precious about any other watch..
Ha ha ha. maybe I'll wear it Friday and get it posted on a thread somewhere !!!
You sir, I think have singlehandedly killed this thread !!!!
Makes the rest of us seem sane, good effort.
Indeed...

I have far too many I don't wear for various reasons but I can't get around to parting with them.
The reason for wearing the Zlatoust is obvious but I have no idea why I don't wear the Vostok I think I have worn it once since I bought it.
I rarely wear this, it's too fragile, I will end up wrecking it.
Rarely wear these as they are a bit fragile for my less than dainty lifestyle. I am ashamed to say I have never worn the KM.
All of these get worn infrequently bar the MSAR. No idea why as the Stocker and Yale 490 runs +\- 0 seconds a day when fully wound. The Traser sits on my night stand every night but I have not worn it for years.
The JSAR is a great watch but again does not get worn.
I wore the gold bezel wing man everyday through school but since I left it has not been worn, the other watch I hunted down for years after loosing the same watch when out on the lash as a student, it was my 18th birthday present.
I finally found the same watch a few years ago to replace the original and have worn it about twice. I have not even sized the bracelet. Again it sits in the box, I change the batteries but never wear it.
I also have a Gshock that never gets worn, plus some inherited watches that are not my style but as they belonged to my grandfathers they have to remain in the box.
I am glad to see I am not the only one who has this problem.

Rolex Sub LV, Breitling Aerospace Evo, Heuer Montreal and I barely wear my Spectre SM300 as well. All are either too sentimental or just don't fit in to my daily life for one reason or another at the moment.
I've started selling the watches I own (and mostly like) but never wear, conceding that if I haven't worn them in 6 months or so I am hardly likely to do so again either so its a bit of a waste to have the money tied up in them.
That, and a newborn baby, has convinced me to bring my watches down to a more acceptable number of 3-4, rather than the 15 I did have until recently.
At the risk of exposing a personal affliction, I don't wear the one on the left, keeping it for best (whatever that is!).
Do you only buy pairs of watches?!

although im new to this forum ive been kicking about the watch forum and the cw forum for agesI've only worn this for about an hour and now that I have another Seiko I don't see me wearing/keeping it.
if your interested in selling let me know how much im in the uk if thats an issue cheers john
I'm privileged to have a Nautilus which i unfortunately don't wear that much, only on very special occasions.
No, despite the evidence! Although not uncommon to have a few duplicates in the collection.
Simon - watch arrived on Saturday and I really like it, thanks! now if I can get the case back off I might have a fighting chance of replacing the foggy crystal.... Your inbox is full btw; I owe you the postage so let me know your details.
Cheers

I have a Military Mark V PVD which is a Panerai homage. I haven't worn it for ages, it's not worth much and I noticed as it's been sitting in the watch box that it appears to have acquired a 'foggy' appearance under the crystal. It's probably only laziness that has stopped me from chucking it out, but my quest to reduce my collection to either 12 or 13 means that I really should now ditch it.
Oh go on then... if anyone wants it for the cost of postage then PM me...

JLC Master Calendar
Steel Daytona
Pepsi 16750
Sub 16610
The list goes on...
Haven't worn any of them in months, not since I got an Aquanaut. They're all so heavy and clunky by comparison :(
This....
No 50/50 of the recent "collector's edition".
It's teetering on the edge of SC..... seems a shame not to wear it, but the watch I bought a few weeks after it hasn't been off my wrist since.
How have I never seen one of those before? That's ace!
I keep toying with the idea of selling this and putting the funds towards a Aquanaut:
I can't remember the last time I wore my Rolex Submariner!

What a beauty!!!!!
Don't do it! The SKX007 is a classic.
"A man of little significance"
I don't think I have ever worn this 14060m - apart from for photographs. Sacrilege, I know.
I've got a clunky Seagull Military PVD and a Swatch Sistem 51 I don't wear. Can't stand the rotor noise on the Seagull ST25 movement and can't stand the plasticky piece of crap that is the tremendously overhyped Sistem 51.
For me it's my Fortis B42 Pilot Chrono. I haven't worn it in the last 12 months that I can remember.
Perhaps it's that my tastes are changing as I get older. Part of me thinks I'm a bit old for it now.
That is a beauty! Always been on my list to track down one of those.Had this a few years but hardly ever get round to wearing it.

It looks too good to keep hidden away
Ive had loads over the years Ive not worn but I must admit I sold so many watches recently that I'm only just building the collection back up so at the moment the only watch Ive not worn is a fully stickered up Seiko Blue Lagoon Samurai and also some vintage pieces that I have in drawers at work?? Other than that now I wear everything but I'm sure once I get the collection back up to what it should be again there will be a few that only come out on special occasions?!?

Yet to wear this one. Waiting for my birthday.

Collection of 007 swatch in the briefcase in the loft never been worn.
F serial LV maybe 2-3 times a year.
I bought this on e-bay as a bit of fun as it carries my surname. It appears to date from the late 50s and is generally in good condition, but only 34mm so way too small for me. I did a bit of internet research and the company got in trouble with the authorities on a few occasions for declaring more jewels on the dial than was actually in the movement and for importing parts from the Far East and putting Swiss on the dial. Us Hilton's have always been a bit dodgy
This one.................
All of 'em. Sad innit?
The remaining piece form my culled vintage dress watch collection. Rarely worn but kept for sentimental reasons as its a birth year watch given to me by my wife.
1959 Timex 100
A none runner when bought, a number of watchmakers said they couldn't do anything with it but Brendan got it going again. It ticks away nicely now.
(He removed the oil that you can see on the dial in this shot when he serviced it of course)

I convinced myself I needed a Sinn 656 as a daily. It started collecting dust straight away (I still love its simplicity though)
