To those with more than 1 Rolex........
Do you change your watch daily or every 2,3,4,5 days? I usually wear the same
watch the whole week except for those occasions when I need to put my TT DJ, if I'm not already wearing it. To those with more than 1 Rolex..........how do you rotate them?

I have three rolexes and usually change once a day....one during the day and then a different one at night when I'm back from work.
Just like to keep mixing it up. |

I own several but in my line of work, the GMT II is my weekly wear. I switch it out on the weekends as much as possible. It's a lot of fun.

I go in streaks of days.... 3-4 days TT Daytona, 2-3 days SS Daytona, maybe a day or two here and there with Tudor or Omega. Rarely change watches on the same day. That would be crazy.

I'll go a week with the same watch, and then once a month, I wear one watch a day.
I like to see who's paying attention. |

Sometimes switch daily, sometimes go 2-3 days, sometimes go a week with the same...
Owning several actually makes my head very indecisive...

I wear the same watch for long periods until something (like a nice photo here) will make me wanna wear another of my watches.
The only exception is when i want to wear a watch for a special occasion like tomorrow that i'll go to the wedding of a good friend and i'll wear my Daytona and now the funny part......when i am at home most of the time i wear 2 watches .........as a mater of fact the other day i stretched my hands behind my head and i scratched my Daytona's bezel with the bezel of my 16710 |

I change watches daily, even change to a different watch for the evening. The older watches are getting more wrist time these days. What ever the mood.

At 1 time in the late 90's I had over 100 Rolex sport model watches and other than around the house or office I wore the same GMT I have worn since a teenager.Now I switch watches when I am in the mood to wear a different 1.

I have a DJ and an Explorer.
I have designated the Explorer as my beater and I usually wear it out to our hangar on Thursdays and Saturdays, so I usually wear the Explorer from about Wednesday to Monday and the DJ from Monday through Wednesday, because I keep one Rolex in the safety deposit box at the bank. However there is no hard and fast rule. I may wear the Explorer as my knocking around town watch and wind up wearing it for the whole week or vice versa.

When I had more than 1, I would change once a week. Now I only have my 16610LV. The only watch I need.
...for now. haha

I can go for several months without changing the watch. I just remember that I have not worn my Kinetic Seiko for over 2 years! Let me dig it out tonight.

During the week I wear my GMTIIC. If I go out during a weeknight I will wear something else. Also on the weekend I wear a different watch as well.

Sometimes one a day, sometimes I'll change two or three times a day. Other times, I'll wear the same one (usually the Sub Date) for several days in a row then change to the GMT IIC. It also depends on the activity. I'll wear a Seiko Monster to the gym and then come home and change to a Rolex. No definite pattern.

I only own two so my Daytona is my "daily beater" and my DD is when I'm not working or mainly for weekends.

Man, it just sounds odd to hear a Daytona being reffered to as a daily beater. But I guess when the only other watch is a Day Date I can understand.

It sounds okay to me. There isn't a watch on the market more capable of being a daily beater than a Rolex Oyster, in my opinion. Some may choose to use it differently, but that has nothing to do with the inherent quality of the watches.

I rotate them almost daily, depending on how I'm dressing. The Daytona goes on for formal wear, and unlike many, my two-tone Subs are worn with jeans and casual wear, as is the Sea Dweller.

I usually switch Rolex watches after work, and then if we go out on the town........I usually wear my 116400 Milgauss. So typically 2 different Rolex watches per day, and sometimes 3.
