Seiko Sportura 451 - 1 week old, lovely watch 
SWRT - 2 years old, works great, original battery
Next TV shape watch - 3 years old, original battery, works great
Accurist Chrono - 11 years old but needs a battery I think, still works.
Original 1986 Swatch - still works and still boxed, could be worth a mint.
Have some more somewhere as well, always keep my watches for years.

Thought everybody knew that? Even Ant & Dec have mentioned it before on SMTV. Not that I regularily tuned in to watch it, or the lovely Cat of course. 
Wash mine at least every six months.

Phil, they don't float my boat at all. Neither do the sodding great Panerais.
ryn004, I read some great advice (when it was a bit late for me!): If you want one, buy it while you're young. Coz when you're older with kids and a mortgage, you'll never be able to afford it!

The Casio's were bloody brilliant though! Efficiency through simplicity.

My Accurst is 10 years old now - had 1 battery! Was an 18th Birthday present - so nearly 11 years old 
It's been pretty good - though the strap is starting to get a bit tight now - had load of links taken our originally - strap must be shrinking with age now

I love it, totally unique.
