Throwback Thursday means Big Red comes out. This was my first even Automatic watch. Bought in n a cruise in April 2023. It is Big, it is Bold and it is Beautiful. It is BIG RED

The new Strap Habit strap came today. Looks a lot better than the previous as it sits against the case so much nicer. Snoopster is looking Perfect now.

So with the final day of 2025 here in Australia I have completed the first year of watch tracking. And the Winner who had a full 12 months to shine is none other than my Trusty Erebus Origin GMT “Wade Wilson”. Then tied for second are The Seiko Speedtimer SSC913P “Clark Kent” and my favourite watch right now, who had less than three and a half months worth of ownership, The Tudor Royal 41. Having started properly tracking in May, you can see that June was when I was trying to wear as many different watches as possible, that’s why 4 watches got 4 wears each. The months before May I went back through the Watch Lovers and RMRS forums to see what I had logged for wearing. The watches in Red in the totals are watches that were moved on to other members of these forums, the ones in Orange are probably on the outer soon, heading to a more appreciative person. As for my favourite 2025 release, it’s got to be the Tudor Black Bay 58 with the Burgundy dial. If someone handed me one I’d probably do a very unseemly backwards stumble while grinning like a kid who just found the secret watch box. Buying it myself would definitely be pure indulgence as I’ve already got some lovely divers. Cruelly, it also lacks the date complication I secretly love to guilt‑check every morning.

SO having gone back through every post of mine that has a reference to a watch I have updated the spreadsheet. Pretty safe to say that Wade Wilson will take out Most Worn WOTY, but the Tudor only having started in the second half of September may claim third spot or push to second, depending on a couple of trips and the holiday. Imagine if the SIlver Surfer and the Tudor added together, I mean this is why I moved the surfer on, as it was going to be competing directly with the Tudor. The Tudor is on wrist today, and probably Atleast 3 more times this year maybe more. It will come down to what else gets worn. No @Daniel Vellone you can not have the Tudor 🤪

We all know we want one of these terrifically fun pieces from Spinnaker
