Multiple watch owners...

How do you guys distribute the wrist time for your watches? How do you pick which one to wear on a given day? Mood? System? Specific activity? Do you often change watches during the day? Please share your thoughts. For me, this is often a difficult decision (childish!)...

Just whatever I feel like at the time. Usually the Daytona.

Two DJ:s get one month each. Tomorrow I will switch from the current deep blue dial to a champagne with diamonds. End of September I switch back. It feels almost like a new watch every time.

And when working with my car or building something on my house I use a Casio G-shock for timekeeping but that is only temporary.

To work I need to wear a Chronograh, in order...Omega Speedmaster Pro, Rolex Daytona, UG, Speedmaster Racing, Invicta Speedway(Chronometer). After my air shift, Rolex Sea Dweller or GMT. Today I have changed watches four times just for the fun of it. In order Sea Dweller, Dateline with Rotary International logo, Speedmaster Pro, and now I have on a Daytona, likely to change back to the SD before bedtime.

GMT II always.

Except hard mechanic work or ill in Bed ( rare ).

BLUE Sub is "Sun, SEA, South, Saturday, Sonday, Sand, Leisure, Relaxing, Wellness Weekend, private Dinners ..."

I think, its connected somehow to "S", but it´s named appropriately: "SUB"!

X2 but caveated slightly:
1. GMTs travel a bit more
2. Thinner watches in suit and tie (mostly)
3. Bracelets for hot and sweaty conditions
4. Tritium tube and good lume when that's needed.

I wear my EXP II, it's the cake I can Eat. My 14060M is my Grail/Safe Queen and is the cake I can Have, also my emergency Backup. My vintage 1500 & 6082 are my 'I gotta spent the day inside with big shots in suits and I want them to know I may look like I just come off a Wolf Hunt but I still got Class' watches. All my other watches are just to Have.
My Explorer is my onboard Tool watch because it is Perfect.

depends on the mood and outfit for me I guess.
Had created a thread a few weeks ago about setting the time and date of a watch and then putting it on and a few seconds after took it off for a different one........ It was a LV for the blue dial Speedy Date.

Done exactly the same thing again on Friday evening. This time was swapping the GV for same Speedy Date.

Call me weird.......

A beater when scratches are inevitable. A new one will get ample wrist time after arival. The rest are rotated by mood, specific activity, or just to coordinate with an outfit [not so easy for the colorblind so when you get it right you want to flaunt it].
And I'll sometimes wear one watch during the day for work and another at night while relaxing.

The Sea-Dweller is worn most days. When a more formal occasion comes up or I just feel like it - the Daytona gets worn.

I'm on the hunt for another daily watch though.
