Your rolex usage pattern

I am curious on how long do you keep your rolex on your wrist ?

In case you only have one rolex, do you wear it 24hrs/7days and keep it on your wrist at night while sleeping ? Do you wear it during your physical or outdoor exercise ?

If you have multiple, how do you determine the wrist time for each model ?

Mine, I wear my only one rolex sub-c date 24x7.

Apologise if this topic has been discussed before

With this combination, I can imagine that my mood will always strike

Interesting... not wearing a watch potentially 6 months at a time that is.

for the most part -

I wear a YG sub or black bay during the week. I put them in as I leave for office in AM and return them to case upon arriving home/changing clothes.

weekends is mostly 14060 on nato. Stays on all day.

I wear my Gmt when I fly or have 3+ meetings (offices in CA, TX and NC). So I wear it 3 days out of the work week. My sea dweller for the remaining 2 days.

I've finally settled on this trio of Air, Land and Sea. My rotation...

GMT IIc: I wear it 24/7 whether I am at my office, or underneath my car. My workhorse for about 10 years now.

Submariner LVc: My vacation and weekend watch.

Daytona C: My special ocassion watch.

I put my watch on before leaving the house and take it off once I get settled in.

I wear my Sub probably 4-5 days out of the week and the DD40 the rest. If I'm feeling silly I'll wear one to work and then the other if I go out later that day.

i take it off for showering and sleeping (unless in a tent) cant see the need to wear one for these activities

unless maybe its your first rolex and you feel some kind of pleasure wearing it in the shower just because you are able to, but this would wear off after a week or so

If I'm wearing blue-ish I wear my WG GMT, greens I wear the YG GMT. In the water it's D-Blue. When not in use they're on a Wolf winder.

I swap watches almost daily. My Sub gets about half my wrist time, and the others about half combined. I wear them asleep and in the shower.

Switch watches every week (Rolex represents 40% of my collection so gets 40% wrist time). Only wear while awake.

Do you store the unused one in a winder or just keep it off?

I used to have the dilema as I need the smartwartch to track my physical activity. But then I decided to go with small wrist band (xiaomi) on other wrist.

Rotation...as the mood strikes me. Could wear the same thing for a week, the next one something different each day. Don't sleep or shower with them on, and usually take off at the gym.

No winder, just put it back in box. Will wind up the movement every couple of months or so - but that's it.
