My BLNR and LVc get equal time. I love the way they look and the fit is superb.

Between my 5 digit ND Sub and my ExII polar, they hit all the marks. I find myself in a different time zone pretty often with my GMT function and at times timing parking meters in town with my diving bezel. They are perfect contrasting companions that between the two of them, do it all.

DRSD is my current daily, because I haven't had time to stop by the bank to rotate.

My SD 16660 is worn most of the time, but I'm away more than I'm home and dont travel with a choice of watches. When I'm home its mainly down to whats going on that day that decides what watch will be worn.

SubC date for three reasons (1) personal favorite (2) can be worn in any scenario: work,casual and play and (3) only Rolex I have right now!

A Datejust with oyster steel/white gold would be a good daily beater. I absolutely love leather straps but just not as durable as steel bracelets.

I have an 11 watch collection and a group Seiko watches. I typically wear a watch based on activity, weather and how I feel. This summer I was on the Panerai 389 for the rubber ban and the wear. Right now I am spending a lot of time with the Seiko's.

Depends on where I'm going and what I'm wearing...

Could be my TT Sub or my Casio G Shock - I'm fortunate to have choices.

Bb58 during week as it flies under radar and SubC on weekend as it is a perfect weekend watch with anything I do / wear.

I only have 2 lol so that’s my reason!

Tbd on which is daily when increasing the collection!

I have a AOPA 75th Anniversary navitimer which I wear daily as I use the date and chrono in my work very often. For my job, a watch is not a piece of jewelry but still remains a tool. I alternate this with my 16610 as it has a date and the bezel can be used for timing things. My Daytona and speedy see action on the weekends.

Daily watch. Why?

This guy lately. Love the quality and charm. For such a good price, I don’t mind beating it up as much vs my Rolexes.

I’ll echo that statement and add that it doesn’t draw a lot of attention. It can fly under the radar while still bringing a smile to my face whenever I glance at it.

Because I can't think of a better watch to wear.

BLRO 16710. I've coveted the 5-digit GMT Master since the mid-80s when I saw it on Magnum PI. It's been my grail watch forever.

I like the profile of the 5-digit GMT. Works under a shirt cuff if I'm wearing a suit, and it looks at home with shorts and a t-shirt at the beach. It's water resistant to 100m, which is plenty for 99% of my water activities. Mostly jumping in lakes and rivers, bodysurfing in the ocean, snorkeling, and even some (relatively) shallow diving.

It has a date complication, something on which I insist on all my watches. It's a generational thing I suppose. I see kids asked for the time and immediately pick up their phones. My brain is trained differently. I lift up my arm and look at my left wrist.

The GMT complication is a nice touch, one that I've used many times. And it's unobtrusive, not spoiling the clean look of the watch.

For a long time I was hesitant to buy this watch. I was more into a bigger wrist presence and 40mm on my 7 3/4" wrist wasn't enough for my taste. But tastes change, as did mine. I've fallen in love, out of love, and recently back in love with this watch.
