Hey everyone. For the last 7 months, I've worn nothing but my Submariner which I love and I can't seem to take it off. I bought a really nice vintage datejust that I hoped would put me into a rotation between the sub and date just, but it's just not happening. After two days of wearing another watch, all I wanted was to come back to my Sub. I think that maybe this is just the perfect watch for me and I just can't share the wrist time. Has anyone else found that perfect watch that ruins all other watches to you or am I alone here. Maybe I just need to keep looking. Oh well, thanks for listening to my rant

I feel for you, my IWC AT gets no wrist time anymore. It's a good thing that you've found the "one". Now let's see how long it lasts

Kingair · 9 March 2012, 07:42 AM

I don't own a Sub but I have been wearing my Omega Speedmaster for ages.
There's always one watch you like a little more than the rest

nauticajoe · 9 March 2012, 07:43 AM

That's great. Congrats to you!

capote · 9 March 2012, 07:45 AM

A vintage datejust is an excellent choice for everyday elegance, you should hold on to it

snaggle · 9 March 2012, 07:48 AM

The sub is one hell of a watch. I can truly understand why you don't seem to like others :D

rad87gn · 9 March 2012, 07:54 AM

I couldn't be a one watch guy if I tried. Love rotating all the time. Problem is I have way to many watches I really like.

Know what you mean. I do have an Omega that is my dress watch. But 98% of the time, its me and my Sub.

WhatTheDeuce · 9 March 2012, 07:58 AM

My wallet wishes I were a one watch guy.

Buy a watch with a different dial color and you will wear both more, maybe blue or white

I find that does it for me

Beat me to it, I would sell the DJ but instead of getting a diff color dial I would get a vintage meters first on a Nato. Best of both worlds! Specially bc of the acrylic

Hmm, very tempting

. Well, I'll think about what I'm gonna do and come to a decision today or tomorrow. Keep your eyes peeled for my DJ on the FS forum lol

travisb · 9 March 2012, 08:49 AM

Good for you.
I enjoy owning multiple watches but it must feel good to be totally set on just one.
Sell the other and enjoy that Sub!!!

gwalker · 9 March 2012, 08:40 AM

I'm always wearing my Sub too. It's by far my favorite over my DSSD. I have 7.75-8" wrists too. I wore my DSSD for 3 years daily. I have worn it once this year. I guess I really love my Sub but will be adding a AP ROO Chrono to the stable before summer.

I can't blame ya. The Sub ND is one of the most comfortable watch out there.

kyle L · 9 March 2012, 12:18 PM

I haven't found that perfect watch yet...

uta · 9 March 2012, 12:31 PM

that is exactly happened to me. As a management trainee I feel a little bit uncomfortable wearing my sub 14060. But who cares, If someone ask about my watch I simply answer "oh, it was belong to my dad, he gave me as graduation gift".

LightOnAHill · 9 March 2012, 03:05 PM

yup, day date

ManUtd · 9 March 2012, 03:27 PM

You're lucky, I wish I could be a one watch guy.

Timber Loftis · 9 March 2012, 04:55 PM

For me it comes in fits and spurts. I'll wear one watch for 2 weeks, then want a change, and wear that watch for 2 weeks.

HongNinja · 9 March 2012, 04:57 PM

Yep. It's called a Rolex Sea-Dweller. It's wonderful.

Same thing, same thing since 2005, 100% Sub. I have even got rid off my other time pieces since they were only collecting dust.

Andad · 9 March 2012, 07:41 PM

One Watch Guy...

I hope this is just a passing phase.

93 Turbo · 9 March 2012, 09:33 PM

Good luck too being a one watch guy...

le_baroudeur · 9 March 2012, 10:50 PM

I am a one-watch guy too! One sub 50th anniversary. (and a cheap casio for sports, a medium cheap seiko for travelling)
