I wear Vintage every day. For home 68 1675 GMT, for work 59 1803 DD. Looking to pinch the wifes 52 Bubble back when she's not looking :-)

Jannal · 4 April 2011, 01:19 PM

Casio during office work, otherwise Rolexes (rotation).

pz93c · 5 April 2011, 04:38 AM

My watch is worn daily.

It happens to be a 1969 DateJust.

sub300t · 5 April 2011, 05:16 AM

I only have two watches, my modern DOXA SUB1200T and my 1967 5513, which is currently with Mr. Ridely getting the spa treatment. I told him I wanted the exterior left as is, but want it ready for every day use including diving. I don't baby my watches.

Jan Davis · 5 April 2011, 05:17 AM

I rotate vintage and new.

Justjosh · 5 April 2011, 05:28 AM

I wear vintage watches almost everyday Rolex, or other.

alleycat20 · 5 April 2011, 08:44 AM

I have 2 GMT Rootbeers. My wife wares one every day and I wear mine every day. I am a retired Chef and wore my watch every day in the kitchen for 25 years.

Rooster · 5 April 2011, 09:27 AM

Newest watch I own is a 1968 1675. It's more of a weekend watch. I rotate the others depending on my day. They go back to a 1948 Bubbleback.

feilong108 · 6 April 2011, 02:50 PM

Wearing my 5513 daily...

NikkiTyler · 7 April 2011, 01:00 AM

I wear my 1951 AirKing everyday. The only time I have it off is when I'm working/wrestling. I'm a pro wrestler and I don't leave it in my bag. The Doctor that travels with us wears his and mine when I'm wrestling. One on each wrist. His is a 1972 2 tone Date. He looks like a rapper with them both on his arm. But I trust him with it. Well I have to cause I married his daughter. lol

I'm smiling as i conjure up that image.

Mystiqz · 7 April 2011, 10:05 AM

i wear my vintage watches in rotation, every watch should get some wrist time

jedly1 · 7 April 2011, 10:58 AM

virtually...i re-discovered a love for zenith daytona's lately for everyday watches....but msotly its an old sub or chrono.

edbsbc78 · 8 April 2011, 05:21 PM

I just find it really cool wearing one!

Cheers

Mark020 · 8 April 2011, 07:17 PM

1675, Tudor 94300 and a Heuer Orange Boy. I couldn't tell you which modern watch I would wear if I could get one with a 50% discount

JEC · 9 April 2011, 03:23 AM

I wear them as much as possible. If I don't use a watch, it gets sold or gifted to a friend. I hate having pieces sitting around that I never get around to wearing. Value/conditions doesn't factor into my decision.

Right now my daily watch is a circa 1980 Speedy Pro that is completely original. Original crystal, original bezel insert, and in unpolished condition. I don't mind if I give it the odd ding here and there, it just makes it "mine".

slcbbrown · 9 April 2011, 03:52 AM

Almost every day. I'm not a collector, but I've grown older and so have my Rolex-- 50's TOG, 60's DJ, had a 70's GMT but gave it to a son, 80's DJ, and an early 90's Sub. I think my newest watch is a 90's GP 7000.

I think we'd like to see some rasslin pix. BTW, my mother grew up near Ironton-- actually Possum holler and Greasy ridge area (no kidding).

My rotation exactly, Jed! a zenith daytona majority of days, rotate in my 5512 gilt cr pcg and 6265 big red. the three of them compliment each other well!

Route 66 · 9 April 2011, 04:18 AM

Yeah I wear vintage every day...my skin.

matt.wu · 9 April 2011, 05:28 AM

My 1655 is on my wrist all day, every day. I rotate between bracelets and NATOs, with the nylon getting most of the wrist time.

Rebel · 9 April 2011, 05:29 AM

Me. Tudor Submariner 75090. Had it serviced last month at the Dallas RSC.
Runs good.

tucsonrick · 9 April 2011, 10:03 AM

I've been wearing a 1603 Datejust evey day since I bought it in Sep 1968. That includes every day aroung the house, camping and hunting trips, etc; we even snow mobile to and from our cabin all winte. All that until I got my fathers 1018 Oyster Perpetual last month. So now I alternate them. Both are in better condition than most of the older Rolexes I see advertised; but they've been worn and taken care of in use.

Dsaltydog · 9 April 2011, 09:29 PM

Spent the better part of all day yesterday free diving with my 1680 on yesterday, today we do a wreck in 120, yes with the 1680. Who am I saving it for? I buy Rolex, I wear Rolex, I never pamper Rolex. Fresh water bath after, and onto the next day

SkyKing31 · 9 April 2011, 09:48 PM

My vintage isnt all that special (16013 TT DJ) Not very collectable and not worth all that much .. My father bought it new in 1984 and passed it down to me when he passed .. That makes it special, and I wear it almost everyday

tucsonrick · 11 April 2011, 09:29 AM

I've worn my 1603 Datejust almost every day since I bought it new in 1968. Worn it to work, camping, hunting, everywhere. My wife wears either her stainless date (1965) or her gold datejust (1975) daily.

Counselor · 11 April 2011, 10:40 AM

How does this part of the forum define vintage? Does my 1972 Explorer I qualify? (BTW, I bought it in 1977, had been on the shelf for 5 years, not the most popular watch in that day. As usual, I was a little ahead of the curve (but not as much as my brother who bought a cosmograph a few months later). I have worn it day and night 99% of the time since, period.)

VinSub1680 · 11 April 2011, 11:52 AM

this week is my 1680 white sub and next week would be my new babe 5513 meter first
