How many watch changes? before you found your perfect daily wearer

[jaySL350]

Hiya,,,
I was just wondering how many watches people moved on before they found there perfect daily wearer?,,,,
For me i had weddings and funerals covered with my 16013,,,,,
Firstly i had the Gv Milguass,,,
loved it as did my wife but really missed the date wheel and i also found it quite heavy on my 7in wrist so after a couple of months she went and after considering the Lvc Sub and a Blnr,,,
i decided to go with a one year old Blnr with a full set and what seems now a less expensive price and i based picking the Blnr on its look as i have zero use for the complications except the date and intially i really loved this watch and i still think its a beautiful piece and then the little niggles started that were down to me,,like i felt the bezel insert sat too high and i seemed to keep knocking it and i really started to feel that it suited a younger person instead of an knackered old 53yr old,,,,,
A trip to Holland and a quick stop in Gassen is when i saw the dj2,,,blue dial,,,batons,,,,wg bezel on oyster and before i landed the Blnr was on her way out and after this " chopping and changing" i finally found the perfect daily and recently recieved a replacement dj2,, exact same spec but 4 years newer then my last dj2 which had a problem hence the newer replacement dj2,,,,,,,
So a Milguass, a Blnr and finally a dj2 so all great on my 3rd watch which i imagine will be a low amount compared to some on trf,,,,,
Thanks for reading,,jay

Two for me; however, it might be more as I am considering a DD purchase the future.

I don't have a daily wearer.

I have about 7 main watches that I rotate once a week for about 5 days, then around 7 that I wear for a couple of days to fill out the week.

My daily wearer varies by the, well...day!

I don't have a perfect daily wearer since there are so many variables that go into my day. What I am wearing, who I am meeting and what kind of mood I'm in tend to dictate what I put on my wrist each morning. I find myself gravitating to the Daytona the most since it's so versatile, but I usually rotate everything in at least once per week.

I have recently been changed my view on what I'll wear for a Daily. I went through most of Rolex's offering including 5 series GMT, EXPII, DJ, Sub, four series DD, Six series OP, Sub and DJII before the Sky D in SS came out. That was a significant upgrade for my collection and changed how I looked at Rolex watches. From there I decided to get a Daytona and a SD4K. Now I have really three daily wearers (the last mentioned) which vary depending on whimsy and activity. Most of my early watches I still have but their time is limited.

I'm a rotator not a dailyer, invented a new TRF word.

Rotate the rotation. Been through many watches over the years. For the first time in a long time I have not traded or bought anything in months. Sticking with a 4 watch rotation but mainly wear my Subs.

I would be all over the Milgauss if it had a date wheel with no date bubble.

I’d say I’ve been through about 60-70 watches and some repeats for 6-8 times and still haven’t found it.i think I like the hunt more than the catch.prob never keep a watch.

lol Neil. It'll be in the Oxford dictionary this time next year! Royalties galore!

[bp1000]

I've never sold a watch

I wear based on a feeling and i probably won't ever sell any of my watches.

I love them all and i only buy if it feels special and i just have to have it.

[TimeRookie]

I wish I had found mine earlier. I spent a lot of money trying to find it. My order went like this:
Tag Heuer Carrera Calibre 16
Omega Planet Ocean 42mm orange bezel
Omega Seamaster 300 Master Co-Axial Retro
Rolex YM 16622 Platinum Dial
And the daily driver I’ve settled on is the Rolex 116710 BLNR. Love the watch. Rarely take it off.
I added a YM 116622 blue dial and I use that as my dress watch.

[rmlovett1]

Been through many as well. I’m not regretful on any moves I’ve made, as I’ve really had/have some beautiful pieces, and I’ve finally found 2/3 models that I consider my favorites. Tried rotating a collection between 5-6-8, etc....
Just recently I am trying to have a two watch rotation. Not sure how long that will stick, as I’m thinking 4 may be the magic number. I’ve landed on, what I consider, my perfect daily wearer. I’m liking the Mon-Fri watch and then variety on the weekend. (For now)

I'm with my man Neil on this one.

And...to answer the question, quite a few.

Punctuation much?

[wach16]

I love my current collection but I can't say that I have found the "perfect" one just yet

[nikesupremedunk]

When I had my DJ and BLNR, I thought a Sub C would be the perfect daily so I went for that. It does make an excellent daily and I wear it most of the days but the very small complaint (if I can even call it that) is that it looks too close to the BLNR. I don't think I'll flip it anytime soon but I'm not completely ruling it out either.

I rotate my watches. I dont have a daily. Everyday will be a different watch.

[Le Chef]

Wear all of them in rotation depending on the kind of day I'm going to have and the mood I'm in. Life's too short to have a "Sunday Best".
