Skydweller for me. As I aged my tastes changed. It was my first non-proffessional model.

Skydweller. Even though it's from 2012, it looks like a classic design, like something you'd see in first class on a Pan Am flight.

I picked up my 16570 around 2001 for $2711...I liked it ok but never bonded with it..I doubt I wore it 30x in 20 years..

Then with Covid and trying to be lower key when I am out doing my street photography, I started wearing the Explorer and it just clicked and I fell hard for it.

Maybe with the 226570 being bigger and of course newer, it helped the 16570 feel more vintage.

Whatever it was, it's now one of my favorites.

On the forum, the constant advice is given like lightening..."If you don't wear it sell it!"

Sometimes for sure but for me I don't like letting go of any of em as my own tastes sometimes take awhile...Like 20 years lol

I’d have to say, my SKX009. I first tried it on in The Philippines and got it as a travel companion there, since it’s so functional and (at the time) reasonably priced if I lost it.

I love the damn thing! It carries its own weight and steals wrist time from pieces 50x the price. I never expected that to happen.

DJII Blue. Thought it was a bit "Fancy" and "Dressy" even though SS, but I've given this one a lot of wrist time.
