Not a great photo but this is what I wore almost daily from Dec 1997 -July 2012 at which time I picked up my 114060. I never really wore it after that and moved it on in 2016.

Was gifted this watch from my parents in 1992. Its a quickset DJ36mm. Late 80s model I believe. Wore it daily from 1992 until around 2017 when I started buying more watches. I do still own this one, and it spends most of the time in the safe.

Sadly not Brian. I got what was a good price at the time when I moved it on, but NOTHING like they are trading for now

I have worn this 16800 sub almost everyday since 1999. My father wore it from 1985 -1998. This watch has been taken scuba diving all over the world since 1985.

I haven't worn mine up to 10 years but yes 10 years is a major possibility to say the least

same here, my 16710 GMT has been effectively my only watch since 2003...so just shy of 20 years.

Trying to add a submariner into the mix now that the proportions of the 12-series have evened out a bit but, as we all know, that is a tricky feat these days at MSRP when starting from scratch with a new AD.

I bought this 16013 in 1986 and wore it every day for 25 years until I bought a 16570 EXP II. My son is now the keeper of this watch, comes out for special occasions.
