">>>here's the original 1st generation Diamond/Meteorite William...circa 03'...still own it but never wear it..."<<<

Saw the above comment by Oscar in the daily watch u wearing forum. It prompts me to ask the question:

What is the nicest watch you own that you never wear or hardly ever wear?

Until recently when I traded it, my Baume & Mercier Hampton Milleis got very little wrist time the past 3 years.

Although it's by far not my most expensive watch, I absolutely love my Oris BC Pointer Date. It's the 40mm SS/Gold (plated) version and has a big ole acrylic crystal, which I absolutely love. The pictures just do not do it any justice. It's hard to explain, but you have to see in person. I want it to look like new forever...

The second one is my 100 yo Waltham pocket watch - RR case. Just stunning piece. I don't have a chain for it, so I'm paranoid it's going to fall out of my pocket...

I have a Tissot Le Locle chronograph with the Valjoux 7750 movement. It's understated and great looking - just doesn't get a lot of wrist time for some reason...

This Russian VE Red Square gets zero wrist time. Very well made and nice in white, but I hardly ever wear tanks.

My Zenith Elite 670. Wears a bit little on me and I'm rarely if not never dressed enough for it...
I wish I could see the 670 movement back as it's a little wonder and one of the thinnest "auto" ever made.

I would have to say the GJVB Moon phase with the Swiss Eta 7751 is rarely worn.

I would have to say that is most of my watches. subtlelaugh.gif

I would guess my Breitling SuperOcean or Accutron Chrono.

I'd say it was my Limes GMT
