Nighttime V/S Daytime Rolex??????

[deserted]

Have you ever switched watches from day to night .......My favorite Nighttime Rolex is my TT sub...It looks really beautiful off the city lights.

My daytime favorite is my SS daytona, the way the sun hits the dial sends chills up my spine weigh in.

[DRAWTOOL]

No, my EXP II looks beautiful during the day and absolutely swell under the Olden street lamp!

[cody p]

well, since i only have one rolex, maybe switching wrists...

[dukester]

SS Daytona White Dial - Daytime
SS Daytona Black Dial - Nightime

Love the way they both look!

[deserted]

you guys have some great pieces.....Beautiful.

[sleddog]

I switch 'em up all the time!! Depending on where & what I'm doing,day or night.....

Come to think of it, my Explorer seems brighter than my GMT. I guess that should make it my nighttime watch, but I really just grab what sings to me at the moment.

[BarkMaster]

I only own the one...

But if I owned several, I could see changing watches to match the attire / occasion.

[Speed]

Well...I go from Omega to Rolex and back sometimes...Oh, and I will be strapping on the Nike plastic for the gym in a few!!!

[Launch Mini]

Yup.
Pretty much only wear my SS White Daytona during the day.
My poor eyes can't read it in the evenings.
SO, swap to one of the Panerais.

[bodybump]

Lets see some photos guys...it would be more fun...

[Boopie]

Nope, I have just one Rolex. I picked the YM in part because it can be worn with anything...casual, dressy/formal, professional/work attire, etc.

Daytime = DeepSea
Nigh-time = GV

[jdc]

I switch them depending on occasion and my mood

[Colnago]

During the day, whichever I fancy, love 'em all.....maybe depending what I am doing.....night time...my original DJ (avatar) because for some brilliant reason after 23 years the Tritium still glows enough for me to read it in the dark (for which I am eternally thankful for and dearly wish that "they" would find a similar substance for lume, but that's another thread).....or my GMTIIc because the lume on mine is good enough for my eyes for a whole night.....

I rarely switch, but it happens... especially if I compare my Explorers (II).

The white dialled with its black hands offer super legibility during the day, but at dawn the black painted hands do not reflect any of the light available so the black dialled Explorer with its shiny WG hands offers some nice reflection and greater legibility. I like that ;-)

Best,

the tt yachtmaster silver dial during the day and the GMT ceramic TT during the night

I will often switch watches from daytime to nighttime wear depending on the situation.
dP.

For me the same as Boopy, the YM fits the bill.
Only on vacations, depending which country/region ,my TAG.

I have noticed that two tone watches tend to fare better under a wider variety of lighting conditions, especially unnatural "gold" lighting (quartz, incandescant, spotlights, etc.) while SS watches look positively their best under whiter light, especially flourescent lighting. In particular, the SS Daytona looks stunning in flourescent lighting, but under the gold lighting typical at restaurants, etc. the Sub and the Crosswind really comes into their own.

Since noticing this, I've sometimes been guilty of choosing the watch based upon the lighting conditions I'll be encountering when I go out, lol...but I'm anal like that!
