Been traveling with only one watch for a while, looking forward to swithchng up when i get home.:)

Usually the choice is easy but the Panerai is really putting a kink in the works, going from the others at 40mm to 47mm.

I have certain watches that I wear only for work. Certain ones that are for yard work & the rest get worn in rotation. Since I bought my Sub it has been getting a lot of wrist time as it has become my favorite.

Probably change between three vintage on a regular basis every week or so, interspersed with my 42mm Explorer

For me it's just an impulsive decision made every morning. No real pattern.

Not hard for me. I'm a one watch guy, so it's 114060 for now. It fits the bill for every activity. I only remove it when I'm landscaping and sleeping. I do have other watches but they don't get worn much. I take my Casio pathfinder to the soccer games that I coach to keep time along with the ref. I hold it in my hands while my sub is on my wrist.

One watch kind of guy. I have others but my Sub is it every day, day in day out, month after month unless I'm out for my run then it's the trusty Gshock.

My late father's DD gets the wrist time. I wear my 14060m a few times a month, for a day just to keep things moving.

Very hard. Depends on what I am doing that day and how I am going to dress. Getting ready to go to a soccer game so I will wear my Omega seamaster PO on a Nato

Same here. I used to have more of a collection - but most of my watches just sat around being unworn, so I downsized. Most days, it's my Explorer - unless I am going to the gym, then I wear my G-Shock as well!

Simple, I put them all into rotation. That way they all get wrist time over the course of a year.

Only have two now.

Ceramic Sub Date for work (in an office) and casual.

G-SHOCK for sports, outdoors, etc.

I would like a smaller dressier watch for more formal occasions, but am struggling to decide what - maybe a dressy sports watch like a TT DJ, or maybe something dressier on a strap like a JLC MUT.

I'd also like another sports / tool watch for variety at weekends etc. - maybe a vintage 1680 or a modern Tudor. The problem I have now is that I can't think of any watch I'd rather wear than the Sub Date, so anything else might be a waste of money if it ends up getting no wrist time.

Easy, I keep all of mine at the bank's safe so when I swap one there I wear it for a few weeks.

I'm sorry, but based on your avatar pic you need a Pepsi 1675 in your rotation. The pic of young TSM at his dads funeral was what started me off in this hobby.

I usually change them with my outfit but find my rolex collection dominates my other watches. I hardly wear my omega or breitlings but I do enjoy owning them. I've been favoring my GMTs lately. Pepsi gmtII or the BLNR most days.

For me, this can be a b*tch of a decision in the morning if either none or more than one are calling out to me. Usually my outfit and planned activities narrow it down. Conversely, I'll sometimes chose my outfit based on the watch I feel like wearing. I have two watches in the 43-45 mm range and the rest are Rollie's. So, sometimes I feel like going large and one of my Rollie's just won't do it for me.
