No.
The only time I have ever done this was at a watch get together

I did it once, and that was when I was bringing one of them in for service. I wore both the jeweler, but left wearing only one. It was sort of a conversation starter with other customers.
I would not do it on a normal basis.

The short answer is no. Rolex is known for it's iconic classiness. I feel this would be a slap in the face. Stay classy my friend.

Unless you are the CEO of a watch company, a jeweler (selling watches), or involved in some type of occupation which requires timing (auto racing, flight, etc) I think its silly. Of course, a WIS attending a get together with other WIS is exempted from looking silly ;)

I've done it and I make no apologies for it nor do I need a reason to do so.
I don't flaunt it, so long sleeves and a jacket are a must. It's a purely personal pleasure.

Not me, with all due respect when I see someone wearing two watches the term "look at me" comes to mind. But if you have the confidence to pull it off more power to you.

We should all do it when we have an east coast gathering for TRF members to show off their prize processions. Do we ever have such gathering?

If you do wear a watch on each wrist.....at least set the time to another timezone.

No, never... As much as I appreciate his past achievements, I wouldn't wanna follow that look:

That sounds Uber Cool. Pics or it did not happen. Im not talking about pics in your moms basement either. I mean Pics out in a real bar with someone asking you what time it is and you are looking at both wrists at the same time.

BTW, I think I may be double-fisting the watches this weekend. I bought a Daytona down here in Miami, and will be boarding a plane back to Boston Sunday. I really don't want to look like a dufus, though. What to do... what to do! |

I only have one Rolex, maybe if I had two, I'd give it a try -- just because I could.
