Do you guys wear all your watches, rotate them day to day? Or keep them in a watch box and winder and bring them out and play with them every now and then? I tend to keep the nice ones stored in winter and then wear them in the summer when one can actually show them off. I do not wear them to work, or my wedding ring...don't want to get a watch or ring caught on anything and tear off my hand or finger.

Yep...I wear them all the time, sometimes rotating 2-3 times a day. That's why I get them, for my enjoyment not others. Some get scant wear because of the number I have, but everyone is worn. woohoo.gif

I do wear mine in the winter, but the long sleeves with the tight cuffs sometimes are a hinderance. I really need to transfer job site to a warmer location.

I rotate about 8 watches every 2 to 3 months and then change to another 8 watches and rotate them again. Generally I wear 2 watches daily, one on each wrist (my long sleeve shirts cover them). If I wear just one watch on my wrist, the other watch is in the pocket. Never used winders at all.

Thought I was the only one that did this. Sometimes i get bold and were two watches with short sleeves. Get a lot of weird looks then.

I try to wear all my watches but with 16 in my collection there are several that almost never gets worn. My 4 quartz watches have not been worn for quite some time simply because they don't need to be worn to keep running. Of the 12 mechanicals, I think 5 or 6 has been in regular rotation, with a couple that gets once-in-a-while wrist time, and a couple that never gets worn. I usually rotate a couple of watches per day. I don't use winders but I do keep a few of my favorites wound by hand. The rest powers down until I wear them again. I enjoy the interaction with my mechanical watches so hand-winding & time-resetting doesn't bother me in the least. Last edited on Thu Dec 31st, 2009 02:08 pm by GX9901 |

I'm always strapped- I only take one off to put on another one. I even sleep in one. I have a few beaters I'll wear if I fear damage. Last edited on Thu Dec 31st, 2009 02:35 pm by |

Right now my collection is at about 135 watches, I do wear a different watch everyday (with the exception of the Mega, 3rd day straight) and do usually change at least once per day. I do have watches that maybe only get worn once every month or so, with probably 50 or 60 that are in regular rotation, some more often than others... Never use winders, do not see a need for them, would rather spend the money on another watch
