Always wear mine apart from at the gym as i don't find it comfy wearing a watch when working out or swimming.

Zeon - with light up button, never take it off, but am sure to keep it hidden, in case of muggings etc.

Panerai

4 currently including one which came with my name engraved on the back, (one of 200 ever made) picked up from their first Boutique in Florence - great memories.

All get worn and none are safe queens!

Mossman, you'd think it a bit speculative of Paneri to engrave 'Mossman' on the back of 200 watches hoping they'd find enough weirdo's kids named Mossman to buy up the series?

I wear nice watches every day...is this guy looking for names of people worth mugging if he see's them on the street?

Yes - my "expensive" watch is not simply a means of telling the time, it's also a piece of jewellery.

I always wear it. It's designed to handle 300m of pressure under the sea so I'm sure it can handle me driving to work.
