Which watch in your collection gets the most comments when you wear it?

Let me start by saying that I don't wear watches principally because I want others to notice them. I wear watches because I like the look of them and they interest me. But in the same way that a parent takes pride when someone tells them their child is particularly beautiful, or that your car is really cool looking, it can be kind of nice when someone compliments your choice of wrist watch.

But I have found that this can be an unusual one.
Sometimes what you think is the nicest watch in your collection never gets a second glance or mention when you wear it. Other times something quite unusual gets a "really nice watch" comment.

Which is yours?

When I wear this citizen watch it gets commented on. Yet for me it is one of the lowliest bashers in my box!

For me it's PAM 111 but my collection is rather small so I think it will change in near future when my U-Boat arrives. :)

Never had a compliment for a rep, but I would get complimented all the time for my Seiko Orange Monster.

Probably my late 30s/early 40s Paul Raff (PARA) 782S, my grandfather brought it to Canada with him after WWII and it's been in my family ever since.

My diesel watches get complimented the most, but I rarely wear them since getting into reps.

It's hard to judge since I don't wear my watches equally. I wear my JLC NSD and Omega pumpkin PO randomly during the week, and my Tag and Panerai on weekends. I get compliments on all of them occasionally, but I'm most surprised by compliments on the JLC NSD. It's supposed to be a low key watch, yet people notice and seem to like it more than my bright orange omega. I get rare compliments on my pam and no compliments on my tag.

So short answer: JLC Navy Seals Diver.

I have a few lower price gens and another few nice reps and do I get any compliments on them at all?..... Not a one. That is ok because I wear them for me. But almost everyday at work someone I encounter comments on my G-Shock watch.

I get comments pretty much everyday when I wear my Rolexes. I'm young, so it's mostly people of my age who tell me it's a nice watch, and then silently wonder how I can afford such a watch :)

I've never received a compliment in any rep. I have a rose gold watch from before reps and it's had a handful of compliments.

People compliment the PAM, gaze in wonder at rolex, and don't mention any of the others.

Breitling a lot.
I dont own any pam reps but every time i wear marina military by getat, i get compliments without a fail. That is the only reason i haven't bought a PAM rep. I don't want people to notice my watches.
