So as the title goes, what’s your daily driver? Do you have one watch specifically thant you use for your monday-friday 9-5? Or do you rotate your entire collection? If you do, why do you wear that specific one?

I’ve tried to rotate through different watches over the years, but I always go back to the same trusty SMP. I got this watch in a uncertain time in my life and I’ve hit a lot of different life goals since. That’s why this one carries a lot of sentimental value to me.

Controversial opinion, but I always liked the wave less dial more because I felt like it would be more timeless and versatile🤗

I’m in my 30s and feel contempt with being just a one watch guy 😁

The term is daily driver is used so much but no one ever says daily diver when referring to watches.

My usual is a Nomos Tangente, but I’ve been wearing this Ball Trainmaster 60 Seconds that I just got and am liking a lot.

If I had a daily driver, I would have only one watch. I have three and like them all equally. I‘m not aware whether some gets more wrist time than the others. I can however understand if there is some sentimental value to a watch.

My Goldeneye 300M Seamaster is arriving tomorrow. Oh my.

I don’t think I could daily an Aquis due to the thickness, but I know I wouldn’t tire of looking at it!

when I'm in the office (~3 days / wk on average) or in a dressy social setting I wear my Seamaster AT (blue dial) 90% of the time, sometimes I wear my Longines MC Moonphase instead. when I'm at home it's almost always my Seiko SRPD91. In a social setting more casual than the Omega/Longines but nicer than the Seiko, I go with my Mido Ocean Star 200. Have some other watches that occasionally get worked into the rotation, but those 4 are my go-to's. Nothing but respect for the one-watchers but personally I enjoy mixing it up.

Still in college, so Orient Kamasu red dial. It is awesome, but I hope to trade it up sometime after graduation. (though the Kamasu will stay in my collection forever.)

Got the BB58 on daily, although eventually when it’s more financially feasible I think I’d switch to a GMT Master and keep the BB58 on the rocks as an heirloom

[–] Bobi2point0@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Nothing fancy for the daily so that I don't have to worry about dinging it anywhere. Titanium and solar for the "put on and forget, take off and not worry" factor I want in a daily.

Britix Flatmaster. A 1960’s ultra thin watch (<7mm) housing a Peseux 320 movement. I put the highest spec movement in there, so it’s got anti shock, and movable hair spring stud, so it runs quite accurate now. A very light and lovely thin watch that is just stunning imo.

I try to give wrist time to all of my watches but the Sub definitely gets more time than anything else. If I had to go down to one watch, this would be it.

[–] JStoli17@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Probably one of my favorite watches. My daily is an Apple Watch with a Tag for nicer occasions but definitely want that omega soon

[–] FunnyMixer91@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

My CW Twelve 36mm gets the most wrist time since I got it. Shout out to my Damasko DA38 and Speedmaster Reduced as well, tho.

wore this exclusively the first 4+ years i had it. still was by far my most worn watch when i started rotating again.

picked up a bb58 925 about a month ago and it’s been stuck on my wrist since, though. i’m sure i will end up rotating between mostly these two when the dust settles.

Casio PRG600 Pro trek. Swapped stock band for a black and orange stitch Barton. First legit watch I bought pre covid. Love the 3D of the watch face vs just digital. The barometer-temp-elevation are bonuses I don’t use too often.
