Does owning multiple watches feel like a burden sometimes?

Hi all,

So unlike many of you here who wear your watches everyday, I unfortunately don't get to wear my watches the same way.

I have a job that's pretty labor intensive where I constantly work both outdoors and indoors and I just don't see much sense in wearing my Rolexes for work. So as a result, I only wear them on my days off, which is 1 to 2 days a week.

I've been in this hobby roughly 20 years and when I was new to it, I obsessed about getting multiple watches and happily wore all my watches in rotation for many years. But when I got the job I'm working now, I eventually wore my watches much less than I did before.

Unfortunately, I'm starting to believe that my lifestyle doesn't really suit owning multiple automatic watches anymore, especially if they're going to require constant setting from stopping all the time. I currently have 5 automatic watches and at times its a hassle to look after all of them especially since I only wear one watch once or twice a week.

So I thought about picking my favorite in my collection and just treating it as a one watch collection and letting the other four sit inside their boxes collecting dust, and who knows when I would wear them again.

My question is, would this be the best way to handle this? I could continue to rotate all watches but only wearing a watch once or twice a week and ultimately having to service all 5, is that even logical or practical anymore? Servicing all my watches when I hardly wear them all as it is?

Any advice would be appreciated.
