I can't take my Rollie off!

I've had my new DJ (my first Rolex) for about a week and I can't get myself to rotate my older watches! My much loved 10yo SMP is calling me but I can't seem to give my Rollie a day off! My G-shock has absolutely no chance whatsoever at getting on my wrist. Do you fellas wear your newest watch everyday for weeks on end? I feel like I've run away with a supermodel and left the wife and kids at home!

When I buy a new watch I usually wear it for three or four days in a row, then my other watches need my attention.

I know how you feel. I've had my Submariner for a month or so, and I haven't worn any other watch since then! I still look at it every day as if it was its first.

Only worn my Sub since I got it in 2005. The others are collecting dust or have been given away.

not worn any of my other watches for over a year now-since I got it in fact! Gave my omega seamaster to my 15 year old son-I don't think he really appreciates real watches yet but hopefully he will when he's older! But I want to get another 2 Rolex specimens for the 2 younger boys for when they get older.

I feel that way about my new GMT ll C.

Poor Seikos, G shocks and citizens have been sitting in the dark for a year now.

Too bad they have ZERO value or they would be on ebay.


Once the batteries run down I toss them.

You have caught the "Rolex Bug" which most of us have on this forum. The next symptoms are : buying more Rolexes, organizing GTG's on TRF and then wearing your Rolex to sleep.

I know exactly what you mean. I have the same problem. If I get a new Rolex, I wear it for several weeks or more. Just can't quite get motivated to wear the other watches much anymore. There is just something about a new Rolex watch........

Same here Let's just say ONLY my Rolexes from my humble collection get the majority of wrist time. Sometimes I even forget how many watches I own.
