Absolutely. I kept a Tag Heuer for non rolex days and always missed my Rolex.

Now every day is a Rolex day.

There is no such thing as “non-wearing Rolex days”

If you're missing a watch while wearing another, you either picked wrong that day or it's time to send an underappreciated watch off to the market.

Until the Apple Watch came along, I was 365 days a year with a Rolex on my wrist for 18 years.

Now the AW is 365 and the Rolexes get maybe 1 day a week.

Don’t miss the DJ or the Sub I have now. But when I do put either on, I get a special feeling like when I was new to this mechanical watch thing we all share.

Has anyone purchased another watch brand and not wear it as much as your Rolex?

P.S. If you own PP or AP I get it 😂.
I guess? 🤷🏽*♂️

No, I enjoy the looks and history of whatever I am wearing from a Rolex to a G-shock.

I know exactly where you're coming from! I will point out that it's nice feeling to know that your Rolex is waiting for you to enjoy again any time.

The other watch I wear regularly is my Speedmaster Pro, and I find it and my Submariner to be a really dynamite couple of watches to choose between on any given morning!

I own a few watches, but most of the time I actually don't wear any.

For sure miss my Rolex when I wear another brand, but that’s what’s good about other brands....they just make you go back to wearing the trusty Crown.

Sir, I have no non-wearing Rolex days, even if it is just wearing during the day for a few hours.

And I wear one overnight almost every night, too.

Not at all.

I rotate my AP, Lange, Pam, and seamaster fairly regularly.

Each has its own appeal and things I appreciate.

The grass is always greener - when I’m wearing my seamaster I miss my sub...

If I’m wearing a sub while dressed up I actually miss my Lange.

I can relate. I was wearing only Rolex plus Seiko SKX occasionally but went for a nice 15 year old Seamaster electric blue titanium recently and really love it. Wear it as much as Rolex. Grab that Omega and see how it feels I think.

I'm actually tracking my wrist time with all my watches. I don't miss any watch while another is on my wrist. My decisions are what I want to do so there no divided self participating in the matter.

With the exception of gym, yardwork, and shooting I’m wearing the sub.

So when I have events not wearing my Rolex do I miss it, nah the others are fun, that’s why I have em.

I only own Rolex! But it felt different when I had my new Apple Watch on for a few days!

I can go for weeks without wearing a Rolex.

Most of my watches are something other than Rolex.

I must admit, though, that there's something special about wearing a Rolex.
