Similar to the YouTube trend, what was your most worn watch in 2024.
Reusing a photo I posted last night.
This was mine, I like that it is different (I have not seen another on a wrist) and harks back to an earlier time, pardon the pun. smile

Also re-using a photo, this year I've gravitated towards the SKX so often. The strapcode bracelet is ace.
All in all this watch owes me less than EUR 300 but it's by far my most worn watch.

Slim Willard on an Uncle Seiko bracelet. This is my daily GADA watch.

Well, the first 6 months of the year was my Oris Aquis which I absolutely love, however since my 40th birthday happened in July, the Monaco has not been off my wrist since!

That reminds me of an IWC Porsche Design watch I have.

I wear a bronze Steeldive on black rubber most of the time. Love the tarnished look. Not sure how to make it look more "rusty". I wear it in summer when playing tennis to let the salt from my sweaty wrist get on it but it's only taken it so far.

Stick it in a bag with hard boiled eggs, smash the eggs and leave for an hour. Should get things going. Otherwise you can actually buy sulphur gel which will be stronger but more precise.

I've probably worn my Ball most this year. Does most situations well, tritium is always useful for the darker evenings in winter.

A batman? GMT Master II - very nice.

Rolex divers style watches do predate the Seiko ones by a few years as do their GMT movements. Of course they are both influenced by/homages to the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms wink

Rolex of course were the first with a GMT movement, some 10 years ahead of Seiko.

However - for my work - Social Housing and managing a factory - Seiko is more appropriate, same reason I don't come to work in the Ferrari smile

Of all the Rolex watches - a Batman would be my choice. But for £10k there are other makes that I would prefer.

A colleague in our Zürich office has that exact model (which he wears on a rubber strap) acquired for his 50th birthday some 12 years ago.

Visible yet discreet, the little touch of red really sets off the whole package. That photo looks good, but it’s quite gorgeous IRL.

I've been wearing my Tudor GMT since November but on a parachute strap.
