When I have a watch that I REALLY like, I tend to wear it till death. A
"heavy hitter" to me means PM's and or stones. For my lifestyle this type of watch would be useless and honestly would not wear them if they were free.
Most of the time "heavy hitters" will have poor water resistance, Shock protection and sensitive to magnetism. Just won't do for me. Or fragile in the aspect of materials used.
Wearing a watch that I really love leaves little time for a big collection. So after 45 years of buying, collecting and selling I have come full circle to just a couple. I usually wear one 24/7 Monday thru Friday. Then switch to another for the weekend. My weekend watch is also my standby when my primary is being serviced. There is 1 more I will add just because I like it. That will be a Speedy around mid 2024. I have the one in mind that I want.
Overall pretty happy to be able to slim down a collection and enjoy watches as much as I use to.
