The G-Shock I wore while deployed the Iraq and Afghanistan. I haven’t sworn it in years, but it will always have a place in my watch box. Not that anyone would want to buy it, lol
Never is a very long time
This is an early ish JW Benson - with a lovely Longines movement with finger bridges. A converted fob watch. A little fragile for every day - but a nice historic one that reminds me of my parents long cased clocks.

I bet you could sell that in a nanosecond (if you ever wanted to).
The watch of my grandfather who passed it on to my father.
I don't buy anything I don't intend to keep. So all of them. I don't understand how a person can love something one minute and get rid of it the next. Crazy thing, they'll spend good money to buy them again when they miss them. Well, to each their own.
My first mechanical watch and a Christmas gift from my wife in 2017. It’s beautiful, but much more of a dress watch, and I have less use for a dress watch than my other tool watches.
My grandfather’s tag. I replaced the strap. It has a neo-vintage vibe and bridges the gap of tool and dress. It’s for that reason that I rarely wear it. I usually wear a tool watch unless I’m dressing up. Then I go dress watch.

or not...depending on how old you are 😂
Up until 2019 my watch collection was a safe queen. Now they get a 1 week rotation, and a weekly wind up. I don't collect watches, I take care of them for the next generation.
Hamilton Sinclair from 1957. My dad’s watch. I almost wore it with a suit recently. But it’s just a bit too small at 25x25mm.
My vintage Omega Seamaster (1959/1960??). I don't wear it very often, maybe 4-5 times a year, but it was my Dad's so it is going nowhere. Actually maybe to one of my sons when I take the last ride.
My CIGA Design Z.
I'm not wearing it often because it's pretty much useless at telling the time.
But I don't see any reason to sell it because I do enjoy looking at all the gears.
