Just curious on what kind of watch time your Daytona gets.

I tend to wear every new piece for about 6 - 9 months straight, then go into a rotation. I plan to wear this thing until it molds into my arm.

I'm not really a babier of things, but the possible arrival of one has me thinking.

submariner16610 · 16 February 2010, 02:06 PM

daily. since i got my daytona,my sub is just sleeping in her watch case. It's a beautiful watch ...

Starwalker · 16 February 2010, 02:19 PM

it gets all the wrist time, i havent worn my omega since, unless i'm travelling to some odd ball country were i may get robbed LOL or my hand chopped off! on a side note.....once you've been wearing a daytona for a while, you tend to realize IMO that having a date on a watch is really not a big deal....atleast i dont understand all the fuss about having a date.

Atomant · 16 February 2010, 02:27 PM

I wore my Daytona every single day from my birthday last year 23 april till someone gave me a Polar Explorer II a few weeks ago. Now I can't put them in the same watch box cause they're fighting for Daddy's wrist time.

So where are the prime hand-chopping countries? I am going to Japan in Spring and I am partial to my left hand.

My Daytona is the most accurate time piece that I own period.

I've had mine for about 9 months, probably have worn it 2 or 3 times. Not that I don't like it, because I do. My subs and my deepsea get the most wrist time. For me it's just easier to wear a brush finish watch so I'm not polishing it all day. I guess I'm saving it for special occasions. Just me.

jamesworthy52 · 16 February 2010, 03:31 PM

I wear mine a couple times a week, but I wear my GMT IIc as my daily wearer. I like that it's kind of a special occasion when I put it on. I also like that my shiny bezel isn't scratched up yet. By the way, mine is extremely accurate too, -1 a day.

TheVTCGuy · 16 February 2010, 03:43 PM

Mine is a daily wearer.... Except it's still at the Dallas RSC for overhaul

gg922 · 16 February 2010, 04:48 PM

I work in sales(construction) my daily watch is a Sub. The Daytona gets my weekends

Aw...Paul! I really, really hope you get it back soon!

Oh- I almost forgot: I wear mine ALL the time now....

Changmaisausage · 16 February 2010, 05:25 PM

Mine is rotated but it gets the least wrist time due to the lack of date and good lume. I wear my watches 24/7 so at night time I need that glow. My YM is the best followed by the PAM104 (looses points because of the leather strap at bath times)

Still love it and would not flip it because of the lack of date and lume.

jchampton · 16 February 2010, 07:49 PM

right now it's my daily wearer (since i only bought it in october and i still can't get enough of it), but as it's WG i'll eventually start reserving it for weekend wear/special occasions.

InVision · 16 February 2010, 08:07 PM

None now my SS Daytona is up for sale and I am cutting down on the imperfections.

walds11 · 16 February 2010, 08:37 PM

Generally during the week as my work dress watch.

BASSETHOUNDS · 16 February 2010, 09:00 PM

Much less since I got my SDDS last year and none at all at the moment because I had it stolen last month .

TSW · 16 February 2010, 09:33 PM

About 2 days a week!!

hennabav · 16 February 2010, 11:49 PM

I don't wear mine all that often. It's the winter here so I don't like all that clothing to be covering and scratching the bracelet as well. I wear it more often during the summer and sometimes on weekends when I'm not busy.

handdoc · 16 February 2010, 11:55 PM

i need to wear mine more, often sits

S/SOnly · 17 February 2010, 12:37 AM

Not very much. Maybe twice a year. Love my GMT far too much

DDG · 17 February 2010, 01:31 AM

I wore mine on a trip to Hawaii. I also took the Exp II but it got the most wrist time because I cold keep track of two time zones with it, and I always knew what date it was. Haven't worn it since, it's sitting in it's box. It's a little out of character for me anyway, the Exp II is more my style.

tkc324 · 17 February 2010, 02:23 AM

I wear mine 3-4 days a week.

john1 · 17 February 2010, 02:32 AM

I've had mine for a year and have worn it maybe 10 times and probably not at all in the last 4 or 5 months since I got my Sub. It's a beautiful watch but the Sub just seems so much more wearable to me.

If I'm dressing up (rarely), then I tend to go with the IWC.

I bought 2 GMT's in December (one pepsi, one coke) and promptly sent them both off to RSC. When they come back in March, there's even less chance of the Daytona getting significant wrist time. But I definitely wont be selling it.

mb hawaii · 17 February 2010, 02:32 AM

I wear mine every single day. Absolutely love the watch.

lee2375 · 17 February 2010, 04:01 AM

Hey Eddie, didn't know you were on here!

To answer your question, not very often...at least in wintertime! Too worried about hairline scratches from sweaters on the bezel :)

kcmo · 17 February 2010, 04:06 AM

Mine is just 5 months old and gets rotated in fairly evenly with my others....so I'd say I wear it about 7 or 8 days a month. Really depends on my mood.

brkanand · 17 February 2010, 04:51 AM

My Daytona is on my writ on alternate months.
