What watch do you wear?

This week an Omega Weems delivered to the UK Air Ministry in the Spring of 1940 for the RAF. Mk VIIA RAF. One of 2000. Wish it could talk.

I gathered my collection a while back before prices became absolutely stupidly expensive and the vintage market saturated with incorrect frankenwatches by unscrupulous sellers selling wares that aren't quite what they claim.

Will probably start off loading sometime soon for a handsome profit.
 
Here's another from my collection. An Omega Aviator wristwatch from 1934.

Nowadays watches with such onion crowns are for aesthetics when their real purpose was so they could be manipulated by with flying gloves on. The thing was strapped to the outside of the flight suit on the forearm or thigh.

I rotate between 3. A Casio dw-5600e gshock, a Casio g-9000 mudman and a orient mako with a NATO band. Here's a shot of the one I have on now. Not currently home.

today it's my casio pathfinder 1500GB-1

limited run of a 1500 in black and orange that came with a extra band for wearing over a jacket sleeve
 
This is my Timex Expedition Chrono Indiglo. Bought it when I was 15 so I've had it for about six years now

 
Does anyone know if there is a dive watch with tritium hands and markers that has a Japanese automatic movement. A date window would be a plus as well, and even better if it has a day wheel too. I love how the GSAR looks but I don't want to have to service the Swiss movement every 5 years. I know that Japanese movements can go for decades without service.
