That watch that deserves more wear?
Re: That watch that deserves more wear?
For me, t's my Steinhart Nav B Chrono II seems to get trumped by the Speedmaster. Great watch, I've owned it twice and genuinely like it; just rarely leaves the watch box. I've posted it up for sale locally, so we'll see what happens.
Edit: now sold

For me its the blue monster. The build quality is fantastic just not gelled with it i have worn it a handful of times.
If any were to leave the collection this would be first.

Re: That watch that deserves more wear?
My unworn watch is also a Nomos - the Weltzeit. I bought it last summer and it's had a handful of days use. For me, it is a fairly dressy watch and I rarely need such a watch. Last week I wanted an understated watch to wear with a suit - the perfect occasion for the Nomos - but I put my Geophysic on a black strap and wore that instead. Next time I wear a suit I will try to choose the Weltzeit - to see if I really want to keep it.

Re: That watch that deserves more wear?
AVO, with your rather disciplined focus on acquiring the CvDK, the Tangente would be a reasonable watch to sacrifice. If I had enough occasion to wear a dress watch to acquire a new(ish) one, it would be the Tangente.

The monster was on its way but after only been offered £100 and no movement on the price of the a17345 I walked away Changed the monster onto a NATO yesterday and still wearing it today I'll try a week and see how it goes.

Re: That watch that deserves more wear?
For me it's the Magrette Regattare black pvd. It is in the top 3 of my fave watches, but the size & style mean it is worn less than it should be.

The focus has become as undisciplined as ever, Chris. We are currently on the rather choppy Straits of Indecision, heading straight towards Cape Cartier.Lavaine wrote:AVO, with your rather disciplined focus on acquiring the CvDK, the Tangente would be a reasonable watch to sacrifice.

Currently, my mid-size Seamster gets little wrist-time so may be on its way..
Previously, my BBR suffered the same fate.
I can't justify keeping them if i don't wear them.
