Put it back in the winder.
Pick up another one.
Put it on the same wrist.

Put back in the winder.
Pick up another one.
Put it on your wrist.
Go show off two different watches!

So I went to the city wearing my Daytona, and picked up my Sub from the Rolex service center (they did not give me any box or container for my watch), so I put it on the safest place I could find: my wrist! This is exactly how I walked into Shreve's next door (with my girlfriend) - they loved it!

He needs a GMT Master II, and no need for two watches.

Last winter I wore both my Rolex watches several times. They were well covered and I doubt anyone noticed unless I showed them and I did show a few friends.

They're my watches and if I choose to wear both, that's my business.

I don't do it for show, but for my own enjoyment or edification.

Sometimes it's fun to do some things just because you can.

Hi Everyone,

My dad wears two watches as a referee at football matches. One on each wrist.

One is for a backup, in case the other were to fail. But he doesn't wear two at once at any other time.

But of course, everyone can do as they choose and wear their watches how they want.

Till next time...

I did it . . . once. I was wearing my Milgauss and my (now sold) 16570 came back from service to my office. I wasn't going to leave one at work or throw one in my bag, so I wore them both. I looked a tool but like the man says, there is no safer place for my Rolex than my wrist.

well, i only own one rolex so far, but on my days off i usually wear an automatic on each wrist to wind them as i do not own any winders. i've never worn two watches out of the house or around company, but think it's great that some people can pull it off.

it's amazing how much heavier a watch will feel on the opposite wrist you're used to wearing it on.
