Happy weekend!


6 watches swapped from the bank, either once a month, or every other, depending on travel. Each day I pick which of the 6 to wear.

6 is the number, due to the size of the watch case. Fits perfect in my back pack to transport to and from the bank, as well as the safe in my home during the month.

Such a great question. I have four watches and I wear them in semi random batches of two. I’ll pick two and alternate days for two weeks to two months. Then I switch and have two new watches to enjoy on alternate days. Eccentric, I’m guessing, but I enjoy the heck out of these amazing machines (BLNR, SS/PL YM, Rhodium YM, and Tudor North Flag).

When I have my kids I wear my Blancpain FF Bathyscaphe because that thing can take a beating. Other than that I rotate based on attire/mood. My 116500ln has dominated wrist time of late but I love to throw in really diverse pieces as something of a palate cleanser.

Once, the rotation was strict and weekly. Not any more, I now wear one watch for a month, six weeks, then something just happens and I change the the watch can't explain what it is, I quite like this new regime.

This is my answer too, however I pick the timepiece first then clothes to accompany my choice!

I rotate every 5 days in a strict rotation. If a watch doesn't excite me to rotate to I give it until the next rotation and if it still doesn't, I sell it.

I have 8 in the rotation now, down from 20.

I feel the same way.
I just sold my black dial 16220 due to not using it and I don't miss it at all.
Now I'm down to 4 from 5 and it actually feels good!

I don't rotate as most do. I have 3 wristwatches. I rotate this way. My daily wearer and favorite is a Tudor Submariner (black face/bezel). I rotate it off the wrist when I get home and in it's place I wear a Casio Illuminator for around the house or for exercise or yard work. For Sunday or with a suit and tie (I'm a Methodist Pastor and occassionally wear a suit), I wear a Pulsar Tank watch on a leather strap for Church.

Not really a rotation as most use the term but, thats my rotation.
