What watch do you wear?

I sat down at my desk this morning and I see 5 quartz watches staring at me, all 1 hour behind. I go to time.is and start setting them.
The little white stand I built to serve as a watch holder and a desk clock at the same time. Normally it sets right under my monitor. I wear one of the Luminox models every night no matter what I'm wearing during the day, and usually one of the 5 on weekend days. I rotate through my mechanical watches for weekday wear. That Mondaine came on a black leather strap with white stitching. It fits the style of the watch for casual wear but I didn't like it so I put on an old NATO that I had and it transformed the watch to a pretty good field watch.

I’ve been collecting watches for over 40 years and I’ve finally decided to give it up. Passed on many to my two sons over the years and now I’m passing on about another dozen to them. Rolex, Omega, IWC, Tutima, and others.

These 4 are the only ones I’m keeping.
