Very Interesting Topic -- I would like to join you!

For me, collecting is driven by wrist time first and other considerations second. While it may be appealing to have six different speedies or several Panerai, at the end of the day, my choice is to keep my "best" example of what I like. For this reason, there are few, if any, repeats in marques, dial colors, and even complications within my collection. And everything pretty much gets the same wrist time.
The watch that gets the most wrist time is the AP ROO Montoya. This actually surprises me because it is the largest piece I own! It is certainly a very "rugged" watch and I feel comfortable wearing it in many different situations.
The other piece getting the most wrist time is the Rolex Zenith Daytona 16519 -- I find it extremely comfortable and my wife likes it the best in my collection:
My "least-worn" pieces are the Grande Lange 1 (probably because it is yellow gold and a little blingy for every day) and my newly acquired F.P. Journe platinum Chronometre Soverain. This last one is, for me, the first watch that I am "afraid" to wear because it is so valuable! Right now, because the collection is so full, there is no pressing need for me to put it on and I can just admire it each time I go into the watch box, LOL.
