In my book it just looks silly, unless you need them as a professionel.
A Rolex on both wrist screams "look at me".
Less is more!

Recently yes. However, google him with 2 Rolexes. You will see what wearing a Sub on each arm would look like!

Put it back in the winder.
Pick up another one.
Put it on the same wrist.

Put back in the winder.
Pick up another one.
Put it on your wrist.
Go show off two different watches!

What about those who have more than 2?????
I can't wait to see the arms of those w/ 6, 7, 24
I hope the weather in SFO that day isn't hot....I'll have 3 on each wrist....but will wear long sleeves
I think I may just have to drive up north, then, for this GTG!

So I went to the city wearing my Daytona, and picked up my Sub from the Rolex service center (they did not give me any box or container for my watch), so I put it on the safest place I could find: my wrist! This is exactly how I walked into Shreve's next door (with my girlfriend) - they loved it!

I once had a colleague who wore two gold Datejusts, one on each wrist (sadly he has passed away).

He had one on Pacific time, the other on Eastern time, as he had homes in both time zones. I don't think most folks even really noticed, and he did carry it off without looking odd. I was envious of the two gold watches!

Depending on who you are and your style, almost anything can be made to work. To wit: Steven Tyler and his Leopard Daytona.
