I can't take my Rollie off!

[Cato]

I've had my new DJ (my first Rolex) for about a week and I can't get myself to rotate my older watches! My much loved 10yo SMP is calling me but I can't seem to give my Rollie a day off! My G-shock has absolutely no chance whatsoever at getting on my wrist. Do you fellas wear your newest watch everyday for weeks on end? I feel like I've run away with a supermodel and left the wife and kids at home!

When I buy a new watch I usually wear it for three or four days in a row, then my other watches need my attention.

[Yume-sama]

Oh... good! I was going to suggest bolt cutters.

[The_Scroop]

I know how you feel. I've had my Submariner for a month or so, and I haven't worn any other watch since then! I still look at it every day as if it was its first.

[Erix]

Only worn my Sub since I got it in 2005. The others are collecting dust or have been given away.

wazzup Cato!! when i got my new watch..i tend to use it not to often..just to avoid getting scratched...but if there are occasion that is called for i will then use it.....

3rd day with my new LV....can't take it off my wrist. It's te first time I have such a feeling for a watch. My other casual pieces are calling but I just won't answer......

not worn any of my other watches for over a year now-since I got it in fact! Gave my omega seamaster to my 15 year old son-I don't think he really appreciates real watches yet but hopefully he will when he's older! But I want to get another 2 Rolex specimens for the 2 younger boys for when they get older.

Well put........had my LV for almost a year now and still feel the same way.

[newrolexman]

I feel that way about my new GMT ll C.

Poor Seikos, G shocks and citizens have been sitting in the dark for a year now.

Too bad they have ZERO value or they would be on ebay.


Once the batteries run down I toss them.

My Sea Dweller does seem to muscle it's way for my attention.

You have caught the "Rolex Bug" which most of us have on this forum. The next symptoms are : buying more Rolexes, organizing GTG's on TRF and then wearing your Rolex to sleep.

I DO wear mine to sleep. It is NOT coming off some time soon.

Yo have that right!

[Watch Fan]

I know exactly what you mean. I have the same problem. If I get a new Rolex, I wear it for several weeks or more. Just can't quite get motivated to wear the other watches much anymore. There is just something about a new Rolex watch........

[cody p]

my lesser watches rarely see wrist time anymore.

To the victor go the spoils...

I had the same exact feeling when I bought my first rolex

[Al1969]

Same here Let's just say ONLY my Rolexes from my humble collection get the majority of wrist time. Sometimes I even forget how many watches I own.

You sound like a true watch lover, totally normal behavior, congrats and enjoy.
