What's your favorite watch?
While I'm sure my watch collection isn't as elaborate as some I'm very proud of the few I have.
I rotate my watches about once a week, and this week I'm wearing my Omega SMP which I just received back from service. Maybe it because I hadn't seen the watch in over a month or what, but man I really enjoy this watch! Though I don't know whether or not I can say it's my favorite, I can certainly appreciate the level of detail in the scalloped bezel and the blue wave dial. So this got me thinking... What's your favorite watch, and why. Cheers! |

My favourite has always been the GMT 16710 Coke.
Close second would be a two toned datejust.

I love them all, but it’s hard to beat the wearability and durability of the 16610 Sub.

If I sold my collection...the Platona would be the keeper. I fell in love with it the first time I put it on my wrist.

Tudor Date+Day. It's as close as one gets to a steel Rolex Day-Date (outside of the prototypes.)

My 1655 Explorer 2, 1st Rolex I bought, & still the most comfy, followed closely by my 114270 explorer.

Changes for me constantly.
Usually it’s the one I’m wearing. But lately, I’ll go with Omega Speedmaster Racing dial.

With a 10 watch collection it sometimes moves around but since I purchased my SD43 this summer it has been my favorite watch. I wear through my collection but there will be multiple days that I wear the SD43 without exception. Usually the honeymoon phase has faded by now but not with this watch.

If I had to keep only one this is it, so I guess it's my favourite.
For me it's a combination of it being the perfect size (for my wrist), reasonable weight on the wrist for a smaller watch (given the tantalum case) and I really love what I'll call the dullness of tantalum. Then there's the dial, which ranges from a pretty standard dull blue like the picture below to varying shades and shines of blue. |

This trio. Basically the same watch for most, but for me they're totally different from each other and I can't say I have a favorite.
