First time wearing again

Today is the first time i have wore my milgauss gv since May 1st. I got a brand new YM and havent work this watch since. Does anyone find it feels weird going back? I used to wear this everyday for 4 years. I still love it, but the YM is just that much nicer :(

Normal because they wear quite differently. Different case construction etc. I found the YM more comfortable also.

Totally understandable...the YM is such a great watch. But, then again, so is the GV.

Happens all the time, especially when a new watch is brought into a collection.
I find after a while the more frequent rotating begins again.

i've been struggling daily to wear my 16610 (my first and only for the past 14 years!), ever since I bought my 116610LV in January. It's actually been a minor point of contention for me considering I have such a long list of other watches I would really love to work into rotation and I have a second sub that just sits in the safe. I have no plans to sell it, but it sure is tempting, considering all I want to do is wear my 116610.

So, yeah, i get it!

Yeah, if a watch slips out of my regular rotation it is often time to move on.

Understandable, I wouldn't wear a Milgauss much after getting a YM either!

I try to give all my watches weather or not they're Rolexes equal time although sometimes one may get a little more wrist time than others.

A little over 3 weeks ago I bought myself a watch I've been eyeing for 2-3 years. I've put my hulk aside and haven't worn it at all except at home while trying to give the movement a bit of a spin.

I think it's the honeymoon phase and for many of us sooner or later will go back to a rotation, just a matter of time.

I wear my Rolex watches for a few weeks at at time usually. I don't feel weird when I change them out. I really just fall in love all over again. The BLNR is larger than the others, so that can take some getting used to, but it doesn't take long and besides, it's such a beauty that it doesn't matter.

I think you're just experiencing the normal honeymoon that every new watch I've ever bought gets, whether it costs $20. or $9,000.

Always good to rotate so the other watches don't get jealous

I don't see how some of y'all can wear the same watch for weeks or even months at a time when you own several. Heck, most days I wear two or even three different watches. Typically I wear one to work and switch them out when I get home. I wear a different one every day depending on the color of my scrubs....the watch has to match! :)
