Rolex Occasions?
For those who own multiple rollies, do you only wear certain rollies for certain occasions and why? I pretty much have a routine for mine.
I own a Polar Dial Expy II, GMT IIC and SS Daytona (Black) Polar Dial Expy II: I wear to work Mon-Thurs because it is less flashy and I consider it to be my "daily beater." I also prefer to wear it if I know I might be active outdoors during the day like swimming. GMT IIC: Weekend watch. I wear it on casual Fridays, to the bar and out with friends. It's a little more flashy and now that I have a couple of scratches on the clasp so I'm a little less anal about it bumping things if and when I have a couple too many to drink ![]() SS Daytona: Just got it so unsure at this point. Still a little protective as it has yet to get that first unavoidable scratch on the clasp. Therefore, I can see myself wearing it shopping (less of a chance of knocking it on something) or a more formal and subdued occasion. I'm curious to see if others have a similar thought process.

Got a black face DJ & champagne face DD. Which one depends on my cufflink colour. Weekend choice depends on where I'm off to

I am a one-watch guy, so I just wear the GMTc for all occasions. The SD and Omega are safe queens for now.

I do tend to think about the occasion I am going to be at to determine which watch to wear..
Outdoor daily activities... usually the EXP II/Sub. Travelling.... GMT/EXP II Up Scale Evening out... Daytona/TT Sub/Speedy Evening with friends....... GMT/Sub Pool parties....Sub/SMP Barbecues...........GMT/Sub/SMP Formal wear.......Vintage Omega Seamaster/ Daytona Ocean Cruise........ Sub/SMP But these aren't hard and fast.. Sometimes one of the Mickeys comes out.. or something else.. ![]()

I wear whatever I feel like wearing at the time, if had a schedule of how I wore my watches, I'd go nuts! I can honestly say that I put less than a second into choosing what I am going to wear. Just wear them and enjoy them.

Apologies!
Just re-read the first line of the original post for a bit more comprehension, as I am not an owner of multiple "Rollies" don't, yet, have that "problem".
If/when however I do, it would still be tough to get the Sub off my wrist, love that watch!! |

Haha well kinda. Actually my gf did it because I was spending so much time on TRF instead of spending time with her. She thought that if she looked like my ExpyII that I would pay more attention to her. Oops!
