TRF Watch sellers- Whatcha Wearing?

I appreciate this forum immensely. I enjoy communing with people that love the same interests as me.

I often wonder which watches some of the popular watch sellers on TRF wear on a regular basis.

There are a bunch of you guys out there and you know who you are. Dont make me call you out

Whats in your personal collection and what do you wear most often?

Thanks in advance!

that's how rumors get started





I have sold the watches I've owned, but bought them with intention of keeping them. Just didn't grow on me, so there is no point for safe queens as far as I'm concerned.

My 99% wearer while at home is my GV. Just bought a white dial Millie as well, so that will enter the rotation. When traveling, I wear a PAM 329 GMT, as it is easy to read and most of the time there is less than 12 hour difference between where I am and hometime. I also own a Breguet 5847 in white gold, but that comes out when I suit up.

So, that's why I don't post on the WRUW threads - every day would be the same thing - my trusted, reliable, beautiful Green Milgauss. Owned it for 2 years now and don't plan on getting rid of it - ever. Only watch that has my unconditional loyalty - every other one could go on the 'chopping block' if something better comes along.

You were on my list of guys I wanted to hear from. Thanks for your input. I love to look at the numerous watches that are well over my budget that you have for sale in the sale forum. Great feedback from your buyers as well.

Thanks for sharing! Glad to be apart of this forum with you.

Interesting that of the guys with the best choice two went for the GV (One may wear a PAM now, but Panerai may have paid for that product placement on a key Rolex forum in the same way that Omega bought the bond franchise).

I think there are a lot of people within this forum that would really enjoy "meeting" some of the "elders" of this forum. I can speak for many of us when i say that we are interested in what you guys look like beyond your avatar and what watch you wear most often. Contributing to this forum is a lot like reading a book. I have invisioned what most of the "regulars/elders" of this forum look like and what timepieces they wear most often.

Your contributions are greatly appreciated!

PS: Yes.......I said it........."ELDERS" LOL!
