Old faithful back on the wrist

I hadn’t worn this for about a month. Between 1997 and 2008 it was my only watch. 3 daughters born during my “zenith” era. Its nice to wear her for a day or two and then back to rotation. Watches can bring back memories.

Post your old faithful’s pls, a watch you've had forever that you’ll probably never part with

Stunning! I don't think that would ever leave my wrist

Here’s mine. For 8 years it was my only Rolex and it saw some good times during that run for sure. Three Rolexes later it still has its spot in the rotation.

Love the TT Daytonas! Yours with the white dial is simply stunning. Personally can’t understand the obsession with the SS pieces with availability of TT.

One of my favorites. I feel like I can never go wrong with a 16520

My everyday watch and first Rolex from 95 - 04, then put away until this year. Lovely to have it back on the wrist

I’ve had this since 1988. I wore it daily for years. It’s my dress watch now which means it doesn’t get worn very often.

+1...the TT looks great and it's not carrying the premium of the SS

The ceramic Top Gun was the first IWC that ever caught my eye. Great choice!

Grazie! I appreciate that. I also really liked the big pilot 5002, and 5004 I used to own

A Sub 14060, bought new in 1996, has been my every day watch ever since and I´ll never part with it! A really tough, faithful companion...
