I try to wear my 4 goodies in rotation but is now stuck with the nd for 50days. My wrist refuses to wear the rest. I think rotation is a myth.

subtona · 20 May 2012, 12:51 AM

seems to work great for the ND

HL65 · 20 May 2012, 01:06 AM

As long as you are happy with the one on your wrist all is good. For me rotation works just fine.

FeelingTheBlues · 20 May 2012, 01:08 AM

You mean that people lied to me from the very beginning!?

texex91 · 20 May 2012, 01:09 AM

Rotation does not have to be on any particular time table.

It's nice to have 4 to 5 to put on when the right occasion calls.

Sometimes I catch myself wearing one for 20 days, then rotate three others within 2 days...just depends.

Nice to have the 'rotation' for sure

Dr. Robert · 20 May 2012, 01:10 AM

Rotation works if you have a few watches....if you have Mike Wood quantities....impossible.

You also need the RIGHT watches. OP, sounds like you may need to trade out the rotation.

JohnBoy · 20 May 2012, 01:45 AM

Sometimes gearing up for the day ahead in the am-autopilot, running-late, pre-coffee-mode can lead to making the easiest watch selection - yesterday's thats still sitting out, wound up, and good to go. Such is life..duh...

jay1988 · 20 May 2012, 01:50 AM

Have to disagree. If anything I don't know how you wear the same watch everyday for 50 days when you have other options. I know someone who successfully rotates between a £4,000 sub and a £50,000 Richard Mille so if he can rotate between those two I think it's crazy to say rotation "never" works.

Rags · 20 May 2012, 02:14 AM

I do like to rotate my watches.. I like variety..

Agreed. Love to mix things up.

WhatTheDeuce · 20 May 2012, 03:06 AM

Rotation works for me.

Rsvrider · 20 May 2012, 04:06 AM

No no, I get what the OP suggests. But IMHO he may be (just like I am) going thru a honeymoon face.
But I agree that one watch cant cover all situations.

Joey_V · 20 May 2012, 04:12 AM

Rotation is tough... I'm also stuck on the GMTIIC for a while now.

z32turbo · 20 May 2012, 06:46 AM

I enjoy the rotation

X 2......Except I don't think it's a phase when it has been going on for over a year.

tudorlex · 20 May 2012, 10:00 AM

I am done with rotation. Sold 3, 2 to go & then left with my original first purchase nearly 20 yrs ago, a 16570 black, the only reference for me.

So true Mike!

Hairdude1 · 20 May 2012, 10:26 AM

If your wearing a Rolex your rotation is right!

azguy · 20 May 2012, 11:34 PM

I rotate daily

Hodog16 · 21 May 2012, 12:25 AM

I usually do a week at a time, that way I don't worry about a winder.

Starting the week with the Daytona is the one time I'm glad it doesn't have a date

Brenngun · 21 May 2012, 04:53 AM

All you need is discipline ......

Sean.c · 21 May 2012, 04:56 AM

I wish I had the money to be able to rotate haha

Dan Pierce · 21 May 2012, 04:59 AM

Rotation has worked fine for me. But then I love what I've got and got what I love.

p_mcgee · 21 May 2012, 05:20 AM

I flipped a bunch of watches, now I've settled on a 4 watch rotation I'm happy with (with a dress watch in the safe). I wind up & wear one for 2 or 3 days, then onto the next one.

1hoot · 21 May 2012, 08:45 AM

I like to have one for work and a couple in rotation for off days

Darlinboy · 21 May 2012, 09:03 AM

Rotation can work.

Try sitting on it first.

drockadam · 21 May 2012, 09:14 AM
