2018: Your most worn watches.
So, what's hogged the most wrist time this year for everyone. And were there any surprises in how those watches may have found themselves more frequently on the wrist.
For me I'll chose two watches, quite different but equally wrist grabbing.
#1 Rolex Sub Hulk. It's a utility watch, or tool watch, but with a sparkle. The green dial and bezel just add that little bit more which some might argue is unnecessary for a tool watch. I just wish it was a little skinnier!
#2 Urwerk 105 CT Streamliner. I am honestly surprised at how much I reach for this watch. In thinking about the purchase my expectations were not so great in terms of how much wrist time it would see but it's run the Hulk very close I think on most wrist time in 2018 (and I haven't had it for the full year). Very wearable as I've mentioned before, under the radar for 99.9999999% of the population and just bloody interesting to see on the wrist.
Please share your top 1, 2 or 3 watches in terms of wrist time for 2018. If you can, add some commentary too.

My top 4 of 2018
These 4 watches have got the most wrist time in 2018. The most special of all is by far the 5131R I got from my lovely wife for my 50th birthday. ...
The 5131R, and that green strap, is just fantastic. Such a romantic watch.
From your posts it seems the RM was definitely creeping up there in terms of stealing wrist time.
It is romantic not only from the watch perspective but more from the occasion and the giver.....
Yes that RM is getting more and more wristtime. So light and comfortable.
This year was year of Rolex for me and yes some GP Zenith and Seiko but
mostly these two Best of both worlds...sport and classy although many will not concur with Tony being classy but whatyagonnado Cheers D ...
Tony was a lot of things, classy was definitely not one of them. But whatyagonnado.
Agree with you in terms of the pair though.
Class all the way...
But, how do you cover up the 'F' on the photo? That's a faux pas.
The most worn this year...
Then, the Duometre à Chronographe: Then, the 1858 Tachymeter: ...
I try to rotate as much as possible because i dont have all my watches at home , most of the time only 4 or 5 .
And my ,,top,, watches i wear only at weekends . So most of my time i wear ,,daily beaters ,, ...
Its indeed a rare watch imo . Love to wear it on the bracelet in the summer .
Here a few more pics 😉 ...
A friend of me has a rose gold one for sale on a strap , only few months old .
Just let me know if you are interested 😉
Easy for me. This one I got in July and have worn it regularly since.
I love it. Regards Kev. ...
Very nice, kev.
I recently had a chance to try it for the first time. It was really difficult to walk away from this one.
the good part of this watch is...
it goes with every attire, i've a smaller wrist & this fits well... one watch life - simpler but isn't it too hard ?! Best, mahesh.,
Thx Jay
Not sure this one is still in the catalogue, it's therefore more and more difficult to find. What you're seing is an a.m./p..m. indicator: it's white before noon and black in the afternoon in your home timezone.
Certainly my Patek 3970j
The most common of Patek’s Grand Complications. It’s a practical watch and a great “Dailey Wearer”. ...
I am boring...
I haven’t rotated this year except maybe for a couple of hours at a time. This has been my faithful companion more or less non stop... Any brief rotation has been purely for my own pleasure and (sadly) not for any extended period of time. The others have ...
Thank you.
I think it comes down to the fact that the Explorer II will take a beating and the way I live will dish some out😄. It sort of rules out the more delicate watches for most of the time.
2018 Daily Beaters
1) JLC my favorite watch of the moment, just love it 2) AP Millenary, when I first got the watch I couldn't wear it enough and as usual I got bored with it and I wanted to sell it. Then one day I had an idea to get it customized so now its back and no lon...
This year, definitely these ...
... sporty and sometimes vintage-style beauties on various straps: Weird: for the first time, no Ulysse Nardin among the top five ... Marcus ...
I'm not a bracelet guy ...
... and even when I cannot avoid buying a watch with bracelet, that quickly finds itself tugged away in a box and replaced by some strap. Marcus
Meanwhile a big baby, Rasputin still is chewing on the watch and strap ....

My most worn
Hi I know my most worn watch for sure. Urushi - on my wrist every day. For most days all day. Others with plenty of wrist time included Omega Memomatic - bought last year & still has lots of draw. Then after that it gets a bit hazy, as it tends to be what...
Tough call, I wear all my watches equally and evenly...

Glad you like them, Jay!
At some point I discovered the fun of playing with straps and there are many fantastic strap makers out there 😊
You are absolutely right there...
Some tentative steps are fortunately being taken there as well but there’s still a way to go 😊
Hi Jay. The most worn and appears top on my iphone are probably these:
Omega And Lange Great idea for a superb thread. Best regards ...
Boring but true...
It has been a (vintage) Rolex year for me too. A simple 1680 Red Sub and 1675 GMT have gotten the most wrist time. These are not exactly breathtaking watches (though they're nice examples), but I love wearing them. In case you're wondering about the first...
These 2..
For the better part of 3 quarters although the ones I wore most during this last quarter will probably be my most worn for 2019. 000 372 Best, Echi ...
