Hey guys! First world problem here I'd like to get your take on. For the past couple years I got down to one Rolex but after a series of trades I now find myself with an Explorer 39mm, a classic Datejust, and a Tudor Pelagos. How do you folks rotate what you wear? I'm having a hard time committing for any length of time to one watch. I end up wearing one to work, switching out to another one after work, and feeling guilty about another expensive watch sitting in the box. Thinking about selling the Pelagos just so I have two watches which somehow seems more manageable!:dummy

How do you guys rotate multiple watches?

Not that hard. I just go with what strikes my fancy.

beshannon · 5 January 2016, 11:01 AM

I pick one to wear each morning, simple

RichM · 5 January 2016, 11:03 AM

Got four and usually I'll wear one for about a week and move on to something else.

The same way I deal with multiple pairs of shoes...and suits...and cars...

DCheeta · 5 January 2016, 11:28 AM

Every morning I choose a watch based on the clothes I've chosen for the day.

Then later when I'm home from work and reading TRF, sometimes I see a photo that makes me jump up and run over to my watch box to put something else on.

WhatTheDeuce · 5 January 2016, 11:29 AM

Switch watches every week or so. Unless I got something new, then I wear it for a couple of weeks...

Same here, but I have more than four... Might go several weeks with the same one or two. My Planet Ocean did not get much wrist time at all after it came back from service. Then I looked at it and decided it needed to wear it, and did, for a week or so. Then the Tudor 9411, then the old Tag Heuer, then the 1680, then the Speedy Mk. II, and so on...

Just open the box and look in- you will know which one to choose.

Just ask Yoda; You will KNOOOOOW...

That's what you would call a WIS GMT...

yoda_tells_time · 5 January 2016, 01:01 PM

I cycle between three watches as well. One is for work (Tudor 94500), one is for the weekends (Air King 114200), and one is for evenings out (DJ 16233). I'll switch it up as well depending on if I miss a particular piece.

But when it comes down to it, you can't go wrong with any Rolex on any day of the week right?

subtona · 5 January 2016, 01:03 PM

Wear what you're drawn to and be mindful of those that do not receive wrist time, eventually they become ripe for trade value.

HogwldFLTR · 5 January 2016, 01:11 PM

I just wear one at a time; some times I'll feel obligated and other times inspeired. Ultimately there's no right or wrong way to decide. An alternate might be putting them in a circle and playing spin the bottle with them.

Spoonage · 5 January 2016, 01:15 PM

I have a few watches and cycle through depending on what I'm wearing and / or mood. If I buy a new piece it gets most of the wrist time until the honeymoon / break in is over then it's back to normal rotation.

adawil2002 · 5 January 2016, 01:22 PM

I usually switch two to three times a week to keep it fresh. Sometimes I'll wear one for a week then switch, it's like always getting a new Rolex every.

swils8610 · 5 January 2016, 01:22 PM

Generally wear my DD to work and my SD4k on days off.

jnelson3097 · 5 January 2016, 01:24 PM

Depends on what I'm wearing. I have 4 different dial colors so that makes it pretty easy. I try to wear each one at least once a week.

T. Ferguson · 5 January 2016, 01:28 PM

I'll usually keep a few at home in the on site rotation, the rest get stowed in the bank vault and they all are rotated in and out. As for the ones at home, there is no set pattern. I'll sometimes wear the same watch for days or sometimes weeks then just get the urge to switch to another piece.

Boothroyd · 5 January 2016, 01:30 PM

Usually wear my DJII during work days, occasionally the Explorer. The Explorer and BBN are usually worn after-hours/weekends/vacation/ballgames, etc.

ingmar · 5 January 2016, 01:30 PM

Same. And somehow I've ended up w/ many more than 3. I have 2 I don't wear at all. Selling this year. The others have a regular place.

Zuger · 5 January 2016, 01:58 PM

No rotation issue here. Have been wearing the same watch for the past 6 months. The rest is sitting in the safe. Too lazy to rotate.

Danny83 · 5 January 2016, 01:59 PM

I rotate twice a month

GradyPhilpott · 5 January 2016, 02:06 PM

I will wear one until I decide one day to change.

I keep the good watches at the bank, so that's often a factor when deciding to change.

Sometimes I'll go awhile rotating through my lesser watches that I just keep in a drawer at home.

That's fun, too, and a bit less of a hassle.

I have to admit though that the lesser watches get the short end of the stick.

fullcourt · 5 January 2016, 02:11 PM

whatever i want i wear....pretty simple, like picking out what pants and shirt

enjoy
