">>>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. Attachment: VE (1).jpg (Downloaded 166 times) |

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.   |

My nicest watch is my PP Travel Time that I used to wear lots when I worked inside an office Now, with a change in lifestyle from office to field....this PP is hardly seeing any wrist time.  |

I would have to say the GJVB Moon phase with the Swiss Eta 7751 is rarely worn. Attachment: gjvle05.jpg (Downloaded 156 times) |

I would have to say that is most of my watches. I would guess my Breitling SuperOcean or Accutron Chrono. |

 all because of the strap that digs into the wrist...bad design but great watch....its hard to replace a great looking strap as it suits it well. Like my dad said about the trousers "Flares"....."they are meant to look good not be comfortable". |

I have a Movado Museum watch that I never wear. I got it as a gift 20 years ago and thought that it was the shiznits and wore it all the time. After the watch bug bit me and I started in on the automatics I haven't strapped it on. The battery has been dead for four years I bet. |

You might want to pop out the battery as it can corrode and ruin the contacts, etc. It is still a nice watch.  |

I have two... The Rolex seems small and being an elementary school teacher I don't wear suits very often so id does't get a lot of wrist time... The Omega I used to wear all the time I believe it is late 60's hand crank... It was from my dad. I'm not sure why I don't wear it. Enjoy, Tony  |

While we're on the subject of watches too small; I've outgrown my 1500 Tag. Got it almost 20 years ago; wore it for years, it still runs too... |

I wear all my nice watches. Even to work. My friends think I'm crazy, but if I get a watch it's to wear, not be a safe queen. |

My Rado Integral. My wife bought it and it really is a beautiful watch, but she knew not to buy me a quartz watch..... |

I'm with the guys in the "too small" camp. I have a restored Omega Constellation from the late 60s that is under 36mm. It's beautiful, but since I started wearing my 45mm Zenith, anything under 40mm looks too small on my 8.25 inch wrist. Mike |

I haven't seen too many Defy Xtremes out in the wild....if anyone out there has one, please post some wrist shots. Mike     |
