What watch do you wear?

It's been on my wrist pretty much 24/7 since I got it but the tritium is getting a little dim. Just started a thread looking for advice in this forum, maybe you guys can help?

It has been amazing in shrugging off the abuse I have put it through over the years. I've smacked it on everything from concert to the inside of a wind turbine gearbox and it's kept ticking along :)

After wanting one since 2004 or so, I finally picked up a Seiko Orange Monster -- my first diver. It's totally unlike the handful of other watches I've had over the years. I love it. :)

I found this one missing the crystal and hands

I've had mine for about 10 years-amazing quality for the price. The bracelet by itself is worth what I paid for the watch. Keeps better time than my GMT.

So now I have something with a Seiko and Miyota movement. They both run great not better or worse than some slightly tuned Swiss movements. Really happy on my part with the watches. But this week I passed a shop in midtown NYC and they had a Jaeger master ultra thin in rose gold in the window and my head spun around, started number crunching with gas intentions like in the old days. So bad.

Here's my Ball Watch Company Trainmaster from the '60s. Truly RR approved. A "C" case housing an A. Schild 1604B handwind chronometer movement. Most legible watch I own.

The bracelet really is something else. A watch this heavy shouldn't feel this good on my wrist.

They are great watches and a very good value if you buy them right. I've had about 10 different Seikos with that same movement, including an orange monster and a black monster, and all of them run about 30-40 sec. fast per day. People with a lot of watches don't wear one more than a few days so the accuracy doesn't matter. The styling is very unique, the size and weight is good, and the bracelet is very comfortable.

I replaced my orange monster with an orange sumo, and my black monster with a black sumo.
 
Can't post a pic, but I've had my Tag Heuer Aquaracer WAN2110 on nearly every day for years. Has been to about 35 of the US states from Hawaii to FL, Mexico, South America, up mountains, camping in the woods and scuba diving in Cozumel and The Caribbean. Fantastic watch, Just keeps on going. Have had zero issues with it and still using all original parts and band. Highly recommend.

When those first came out people were nervous about the 3313 movements but recently it seems a few watchmakers are big fans of the coaxial design of the 3313. I would consider owning one.

I have the POC 9300 they are big watches.
 
As long as the 3313 is either a rev. C (it'll be labelled as 3313C in very small print on the movement) or has been fully serviced by Omega, it's fine. I have an Aqua Terra chrono with a 3313C that's performed flawlessly over the past 2 years. Earlier revisions were problematic.
