What watch do you wear?

All this Rolex watches are yours ?

They are, yes.

Almost forgot - I bought my wife a Datejust, so we have matching "his and hers" watches. :)

Very nice collection! All you need now is a Deepsea and a Milguass and you'll have a Rolex for every day of the week!

You would have to go and pick two of my least favorite (not even counting the "Leopard Daytona") models from the sports models. I tried the Deep Sea on in Tokyo, and it's just too darn big for me. And with the exception of the sole exception of the Daytona, I insist on having a date complication on my watches. :)
 
For about the past fifteen years, I've been wearing Freestyle watches. I started out with digital watches, but moved on to analog watches. I have an old Freestyle Shark X, a Freestyle Field Master with a cracked bezel and a Casio 2701 AMW320R (Google fu determined that it is a Casio divers watch). Two watches that I'd like to get this year are a Victorinox Garrison watch, and a Seiko black monster, with a rubber wrist band. I am going to treat myself this July, for my birthday, to a Seiko black monster.

I tried on a Deapsea when I bought my Z series Sea Dweller. You gotta have some (Arnold, Shaquille, Lynn Thompson) girth to sport that thing.

Agreed - at 5'7" I don't have a prayer.

Nice SD - I had an F series what a wore for about 5 years. Replaced it with a 16610 Sub.
 
I was slightly tempted by the Sub. At the time it was $6000 and the SD was $6400. I really can't stand the cyclopse lens on the date. The increased depth rating always was synonymous (to me) with better quality fit/finish. When I found out the SD was being dropped from the line, I had to get it. No regrets. I wear it 24/7.
 
Nice Rolex collection! Someday I will have to add a no date Sub to my small watch collection. I like no nonsense dive style watches like the Sinn U1, Rolex Submariner, Fortis Marinemaster/Cosmonaut, Omega Seamaster, Marathon GSAR, etc.
 
Piked up a Marathon CSAR the other day NIB. Won't be home for another week to see it/wear it, but I'm pretty stoked. I've always worn Echo-drives so this will be my first automatic. Can't decide whether or not to buy the SS bracelet. I'm sure I'll sport the rubber strap more for everyday wear but would like to have the SS for special occasions...etc. Pulled this pic off the internet

My everyday wear.

I've replaced the rubber with one of the nylon four ring NATO straps from CC. Much more comfortable and stable.
 
I saw 2 ORIS watches mentioned in this thread - I love ORIS. I work in a Omega/Rolex type world -- but I get compliments and inquiries about my ORIS all the time. Here's my daily wear:

I saw this one - the NIXON Gunship 51-30 chrono at 51mm - HUGE - had to have it. wear it at clubs and bars. EVERYONE asks about it. EVERYONE.

Some really nice Rolex! :) I'm more into the zenith line but I do admire a good rolex (is there really a bad rolex? lol).

When I can I'd love to upgrade from a seiko diver to a Zenith El Primero "Rainbow" Chronograph Diver...gotta convince my wife I can lay out over $3k on the secondary market for one :p
