Less wrist time

For those that have multiple steel model sports Rolexes, what’s the one model that gets the least wrist time? For me it’s the Sub. The Daytona had been
the daily driver until recently picking up my Pepsi. I can see wearing the Pepsi the majority of the time. It’s just perfect.

For me the Sea Dweller 4k 116600 gets the least time. It’s too thick and top heavy.
Most worn are my Daytona and Explorer 214270

I wore my milgauss every day until I got Pepsi. Now it’s Pepsi every day. I think about adding another piece all the time, but then it’d be sad for my current pieces to not get wrist time!

More people should have this thought. Enjoy what we have. Very nice.

This is very true. I think the stable of watches in the collection now is perfect. Although a PM dress watch might be missing…

Actually wearing it today for the first time in ages.

I have loads that don’t get worn. They will/might someday but I do lean towards wearing PM mostly. (Apart from my SD43)

What’s funny is my Daytona now looks slightly boring compared to the Pepsi. The GMT is just the quintessential Rolex. I love everything about it. Not sure the Daytona will get much wrist time for the foreseeable future.

I’m opposite. Daytona white ceramic is the most comfortable and gets the most desire to wear. Sub actually gets the most wear because of discreteness. BLNR in jubilee gest the least even though it is very pretty. I never liked the Pepsi too hodge podge of colors for me

I’m good at keeping all mine in rotation but I have to admit, I prefer my Daytonas and
GMTs over my Sub. I prefer my steel Sub on beach vacations though, for obvious reasons.

Perhaps it's just your latest piece that gets most wrist-time? As surely the only reason you bought it was because something was lacking?

Perhaps another variant of this question might be: does anyone have a piece that isn't their latest piece that gets most wrist time?

When i had the daytona black dail, sub no date and yachtmaster dark rhodium in rotation the sub got the least wrist time too. I sold it after a year, still regretting it. It was my first Rolex…

Of my Rolex watches my SS SD4K probably gets the most wear followed by my YG DD40

114060 Submariner. There is nothing inherently wrong with this watch, I just get bored quickly looking at an all-black three hander. It has always under whelmed me and will probably move it along at some stage.

Least wrist time: sky dweller.

I love the Saros 9002 movement but I just can’t understand the design language of that watch: big, thick, top heavy, curved case, blingy bezel. Why?!

Unfortunatelly, the photo is much better than the feeling of the wrist.

I go in cycles. Something I haven't worn for months will get picked out at some point and stay on for weeks. Over the course of a couple of years it all tends to average out.

Also the sub for me. It’s great (maybe even perfect) as a single Rolex sports piece, but in a collection of colorful Rolex sports models, mine got relegated to a very occasional wear, and I ended it moving it along.

Honestly my Grand Seiko. I like it a lot, but the bracelet isn’t great, and generally just bonded with the Rolexes a bit better. I’m always appreciative of the craftsmanship and all when it’s on the wrist, but just doesn’t quit hit the satisfactory spot the Rolexes do.

This is interesting to hear. I’ve been looking at Grand Seikos a lot, but each time I try it on, I start to think that maybe I wouldn’t reach for this over my current pieces.

I have quite a few Rolex and less worn in general are SS ones.

My Panda and Sub Non Date less work ones.

Once you have feel of gold on your wrist is hard.

My new T-II 2023 is amazing and TT feels great in all aspects.

Of Stainless ones wear most my SkyD jubilee / black dial

For me that was also the 116610LN that is why eventually sold it. For some sounds maybe strange, but I am happy with "only" having one steel sports.

In terms of SS Rolex sports watches, I wear my GMTs the most (BLRO & BLNR) and ironically, I wear my newest timepiece (Daytona) the least.

But of the larger collection, I wear the Daytona more often then some of the others.

For me it’s my Pepsi. I really love it, and happen to be wearing it today, but others typically get picked ahead of it.

Mine get a pretty equal amount of wrist time. I can definitely understand leaning towards the BLRO though.
