A different perspective: what is the watch you wear the least, but still keep?
And I am not talking about a watch that is inaccessible in a safe, or a watch that you got when you were 15. A watch, say, that you bought within the last several years, keep in your dresser and could wear at any moment but don't? Why do you have it, why do you keep it?
Mine is the Bulova Moonwatch. I wanted a chronograph, to see if I would ever use the function (I don't!). It was a way to get a very nice looking chronograph without spending even a few thousand. I love the architectural elements to the dial, the date is tiny and blends into the black dial -- I can't even see it without my readers! -- and I wear it whenever I go somewhere shady :-0 or just want my watch to blend in, despite its largish size. But with the C-style case, it does not wear as large as it measures by the tape.
I keep thinking I might give it to my nephew, who likes watches, but I just can't part with it for now.
Often, what we have and hold on to, without great emotional ties, still reveals our endearment. Happy new year. M. (stock picture)

great idea for a thread, for me that would be my 2 heritage pieces, Grandfather and Father`s , but all my `own` pieces i do wear with some regularity. For reasons of practicality
my IWC pocketwatch gets the least `wrist` time. But always a joy to look at. ...
Interesting post... had me thinking. First thought was my father's Accutron, but I never wear it (battery removed and in storage). But this watch is in the rotation and loved but rarely worn

Easy answer to me: none!
If I do not wear a watch that I bought, I sell it quickly Sorted I have a core collection of 3 sentimental watches which I hold on to, on top of which I rotate 2-3 watches that I bought myself: these get renewed every 2 years or so.
