This is mine. Reason being it's the most beautifully simple watch of all time!

I have the Everose GMT 2 as the daily. Why? Well if I spent that much money on a watch, might as well use it. :) It's just as good as any other watch and I like that it has the date which I actually use quite often. The gmt hand is useful for checking out the time in Asia which I actually do use for business.

My daily. Why? Several reasons:

1) Because it's my favorite watch in the Rolex lineup
2) Because I own it
3) Because it's insured
4) Because I want to enjoy it as much as possible

It's an amazing watch, no doubt. But isn't a bit heavy for everyday? I guess you get used to it, eh?

Error.
By the way, do you speak another language? Surely not.

You are very kind and understanding with a foreigner.

All kidding aside, when I pick it up from my dresser approximately 10 seconds after I get up in the morning, it's heavy. When I put it on, it feels heavy. After about, oh, half a minute or less, the weight disappears. Unless I think about it. Then I know it's there. People joke about having one bicep bigger than the other with this watch, but I find it super comfortable. I think maybe it feels a bit heavy if I am walking on a beach and have suntan lotion on my wrist so the watch isn't as "planted." But other than that, it is not noticeable in a negative way. I imagine trying it on at an AD would not give a good indication how it would feel "in real life."

FWIW, I'm about 5'9" and 160#.

Depending on the rotation. Mine’s either a DJ or today a Prince Date. Classic size, fits under the cuff, light and dressy for office.
Having a gas station breakfast before coming into the office.

I can see that. In any case, it looks awesome! And it's great that you actually enjoy it rather than keeping it in a safe.

Thanks! I do feel very lucky every time I strap it on. Don't think I'll ever take it for granted...

Daily watch. Why?

My Rolex Air-King from ‘91.

Why- classy, elegant, slips under the radar with zero pretention, which I love. It also goes with any clothing and dresses up or down well.

I don't have a daily watch per se, but if I were to count the day, a watch spent most on my arm in 35 years, that would be, without a shade of a doubt, the Tripple Six Sea Dweller.

I have been wearing a 16570 every day for the last eight years. Top 5 reasons:
1) I don’t get tired of it
2) It has proper water resistance
3) It is low key
4) It has a date
5) It looks great

Same for me, but I only have the 16570 - Polar. I wear it to work everyday. The Sub and DJII are my weekend watches.

Thanks. It’s a good stealthy watch for sure. Not a tonne of people point it out, which I like!
