how many arms you got that you think four watches are "daily wearers?"

That's a seriously limited forum, BTW. timezone.com is a little better, IMHO, if only because it doesn't limit discussion to trendy bling.

Have a tag aquaracer as a daily. Which works well having to wash my hands often. It also seems to take getting beat on well with only light wear noted on the band.
For out side of work have a breitling skyracer, and an interesting chenevard skeleton.
Have to admit though when I have money to buy a nice watch I am thinking HRE 540 or 543's.

All that said, have to admit these urwerk might have me looking there way soon.

theirs actually 5 there,

bottom left=corum bubble skeleton
next to it jaeger lecoultre reverso squadra hometime,
above breitling bentley motors
middle tag heuer microtimer
left top breitling super avenger


daily wearers as in, the ones i wear on a daily basis.. like 1 a day during the week and something else on weekends.. if you thought 5 was too many to be wearing... theirs many more than those... that sit on the side..


(notice thats a bentley 6.75 not the same as above*)





etc etc etc

the hormundi forum is limited but gives really good info on the nicer brands i collect lik AP/Jaeger and its always nice getting detailed info on mille and urwerk pieces..

It's amazing how people can share an appreciation for watches but have hugely different preferences. I prefer a simple watch most chrono's are too busy for me.

i just go this



from a local Fossil shop. i prefer watches under $200 but with nice style & design.

got a few skagen super thin titanium watches, really nice and light on the wrist.

i guess i won't spend a few hundred grand for a tourbillon, that's for sure.
