I am now, with my Sub-C, and I thought I would be forever. Then I realized that I could not choose between my Sub and an AP. Soon I'll be a 2 watch guy.

I have a bunch of lower end (but equally awesome) watches, ranging from some Invicta divers to more informal GShocks. I love them all, but ever since I got the SubC, I haven't worn any of them. As much as I LOVE my orange Planet Ocean, I don't even wear that anymore!

2 for me, black SubC and white ExpII 42 to give a nice contrast. I am however keeping a close eye on Basel to see if there is a ceramic SS Daytona!

If I had the money I would have 10 watches easy! Because I like to have a different one for different things. But at this moment in time, I am a 1 watch man!

If I stayed away from this forum, I'd probably be a 1 (or 2) watch person.

One watch people how do you survive servicing ? I know it's only once every 7 years but it's still time without a watch. I believe the turnaround could be like a month ?

2 is the very minimum I could do.

I would like to be but since my Daytona is a gift that I cannot flip, my second watch was always the daily wearer and when I got bored/wanted something else, I would flip it. Until now, I bought a third and plan to add one every year (or less if I can afford to) until I reach the number 7.

I own two, but I only ever wear one so yeah, maybe I am really a one watch person or could have been.

But women always think we need choices.

All my jewelry is WG so I just wear the WG watch I own, but a YG Datejust is just so darn beautiful and also I want to have a YG watch to coordinate if I ever acquire any YG jewelry.

I used to have 5 watches at a time but found out 2 is best suited. More than two seems too complicated.

Hahahaha! Now that you mention it, neither am I. It's amazing that I change watches during the day once or twice.

Hello, I'm a new member here. I have about a dozen watches and 5 being serious watches. I have tried different types of rotations but the most effective for me is I rotate each watch 2 weeks at a time.
