Which are your favourite 3 watches in your collection?

[MartynJC (UK)]

I’ll have a go. Thinking carefully about the terminology, “favourite” - in my head, that means the ones worn most or have special meaning.

Omega Seamaster NTTD
Bought after selling up, lock stock and barrel and leaving the UK and setting up home in a country where I do not speak the language or have any family - but do have friends and of course my lifetime best friend and life companion, my loving wife. No regrets.

It can be worn on the beach, in the pool and with the Ti bracelet or NATO or I have a white Zulander for the summer - is versatile.



Patek 5146J
Bought from the last money from my mums estate - always a special place. Lovely watch, must dig out and wear it. Not sure if there is a rubber strap that would suit it?

Is the NATO blasphemy?



Patek 7234G
Most recent significant purchase. Maybe need a rubber 19mm strap to go with it - though the aviation OEM does suit it.



A close mention goes to my Dad’s Rolex Air-King-Date. I don’t wear it very much but will never sell it.

Yes it's blasphemy and you must say 3 Hail Mary's. But even so it's my favourite of your 3.

Didn't have to think very long about this. The Sinn is new-ish to me, so perhaps the mania will fade, but in any case the two most expensive watches I own are not in this picture... Hmmm....

Currently only own 3, so I guess I'll opt out of this one on a technicality

Had the XII since Easter 1998 - it was the Saturday, so 25 years ago tomorrow!

I bought the GMT on my birthday in 1986.

The Inge was acquired from SC a few years ago to replace a similar one (black dial, all steel) that I regretted selling about ten years ago. I bought the original one in 1998.

Just found the receipt for it while looking for something else .. it was the 14th April. So actually a Tuesday. I must have been on leave at the time.

Number one is pretty constant, it's always going to be my Seiko Monster.

Positions two and three change with the weather, but I think currently those spots are taken by my Ming 37.05 and Zenith Pilot

[zelig]

In no particular order, probably these three ( at the moment )...







... but that doesn't mean they are the most worn.

My favourite and most worn is this SMP that my Mrs bought me twenty odd years ago.




I have a soft spot for this gigantic Avenger diver.




Third one is difficult as I have so many vintage watches but I'll plump for this.

Jesus Martyn 🥵 talk about exit watches! Very jealous. One day!

Can't say I would wear the Patek on NATO but each to his own

The 5146 is back on its OEM brown leather now. Strangely, I’ve been wearing my Casio more since having to work in the garden - and it’s proving very versatile down the gym too.
