Why not ? - a Rolex on each wrist !
Got my GMT 1675 in 1973 and it has been om my left wrist until beginning of januar 2024 when I got the meteorite.
Posted a thread 8 januar 2024 "2 GMT on the wrist is one to many -" and DrSmelody wrote "Two wrists. One for each. Solved." And why not ! Since then I have daily been wearing the meteorite on the left and my faithful 1675 on the right wrist. And it feels quite naturally - maybe a little awkward in the first few weeks - but not any more and normally nobody take notice. Problem is solved - I can enjoy the meteorite each day and the 1675 is stille a part of me like it has been for over 50 years. So now I wonder: anybody else that normally are wearing a watch on each wrist? Or do you feel it will be to flashy? |

Once upon a time, I met a group of extremely wealthy, but obnoxious, gentlemen from Kazachstan. Oil/natural gas guys. Used to fly into USA, buy Cadillac Escalades and Hummers and ship overseas back home. They carried tens of thousands each.
One time, the leader of the group, walked into an AD in NYC. Proceeded to buy 2 Rolexes , a Day Date and SS Sub. Proclaimed bragging, ”I have two wrists, I need two watches". Everyone laughed. To him, the reaction he got was worth the $. |

An acquaintance of mine wears two 1675s (one on each wrist). He’s 78 years old.

Astronaut Buzz Aldrin wears 2 Omegas on one wrist, one stainless, and one gold. They are attached with a cheap gold-filled band section between them. I have fixed the band for him a couple of times. One on top of wrist one on the bottom. I have a pic somewhere.

I wear two watches for the last 3 years. Left my GMT Meteorite and right my Apple Watch. In the first few months I got questions/remarks. Why are you wearing two watches? I always said laughing, i want to be sure to be on time! After that we laugh and go on with what we were talking about.

I wouldn’t do it, but I’m not critical of people that do.

If you were a younger gentleman and you wore two rolexes like that I would think that looks kind of obnoxious. But hearing the story of you wearing that GMT for 50 years, do whatever you want king! If I heard that story in real life I would shake your hand and buy you a beer.
Cheers and enjoy both your GMTs in good health! |

A shirt with long sleves keep you safe - and if it´s in a hot climate I´ll leave them behind (looking for a Explorer that´s more neutral for these circumstances)

I had 2 of my watches on each wrist while we had
GTG almost 20 years ago. Some of the members here might recall that. Good times.

Too flashy? Not at all. Let me try that in Barcelona and report back . In all seriousness, I wouldn't, but whatever makes you happy.

Whatever the stuff is that would enable me to wear a watch per wrist, I don't have it. I love watches, but under these circumstances, apparently not enough.

I have seen (on TV) The high-end watch and the Apple. I actually kind of get that one, but I keep my strapless Apple watch in my pocket not on the wrist. I hate the phone, but need the connection. I hate having a phone all the time. Did I say I hate the phone? fkn phone.

To each his own. For me, although yes, Rolex is jewelry, I would wear only one, since I wear it as a watch, and it takes only one to tell the time. Now, of course I cannot afford more than a single Rolex, but that's a different story...

I wear a Fitbit on my right wrist and a watch on my left. Seems good to me?!
