Whe I was younger I only had one watch. I wore it every day until the leather strap wore out. Then I kept in my pocket until I could afford a new strap. I probably 'wore' it for over 10 years.

I plan on wearing my 116600 everyday for a long time. unless I'm doing something to put it in harms way, then the beater comes out to play temporarily.

34+ years. A Sub (1680); I put it on the day I began my professional career and took it off the day I retired. With the half life of tritium at 12.3 years the lume had long since died. Today I enjoy the nice bright lume of my Sub C.

Approximately 20 years wearing a "CWC" Royal navy 300m divers watch in black, it was sent back to Silvermans in London for service by Royal mail special delivery, however the watch was lost in the post and never located.

Depends how it's defined but using a broad definition (notwithstanding trips overseas, two services), it's 30 years for my DJ SS (16014)

BLNR for 7 days straight on a vacation which I decided only to take one watch. I average about 10 hours with one watch, I usually switch things up in the evenings and on weekends.

I have played around with the idea of consolidating.
