Your Rotation Pattern

This is bacically for those normal folks with 2 or 3 watches. I have an Omega SMP, an LV SUB, and a GMT Master ll. I basically wear the Rollies on alternative days, and the Omega on the weekends and at night. I like to sleep with a watch on that has luminova that I can see if I am awakened, but wear the Omega to avoid the bracelet stretch on the Rollies. I do not have winders, and give them each a wind every other day or so.

So how do you rotate your babies?

I have a blue Arabic Air King. A green Sub LV and a TT Blue Sub.

Ever since I got the TT Blue Sub its pretty much all I ever wear.

The other two stay on my winder.

TT Blue Sub most of the time. Omega SMPC on occasion. G-Shock for sleeping, yard work, baseball practice, etc. Basically, if I'm not doing anything rough or physical - it's the Rollie.... period.

If I'm doing well in the "female companionship" department lately neither will my watches.

I've just thinned out my collection to two. A SS/Plat YM and a TT Sub.

At the moment the plan is the YM for during the week under a shirt sleeve, and the TT at the weekend with jeans.

Though I am wondering whether I need something truly SS in there like an LV

Personally, I would forget about the LV since you already have a sub (and a YM which has a sub look to it) and go for the new SS GMT II. That would be better to round out your collection.

Blasphemy!!

Just kidding. Guess I am just a Sub Fan!

I like the GMT and if they are gonna discontinue the Pepsi and Black/Red bezel ones, that's what I would get if your can.

Or the GMT II, but that could be a bit of a wait to get your hands on one.

Well,

That's one of the most difficult thing for me to decide....
Currently I have to rotate 8 watches..and it seems that my Tag, my Omega my Cartier and my Tudor are the ones that I wear the least often...

Monday DD
Tuesday GMT II
Wednesday 18k/YG YM
Thursday OP Date
Friday Blancpain Leman Phase de Lune
Saturday same as Friday
Sunday same as Friday

Regards,

Let's see...

Sub, GMT, Daytona, DJ, Sub, GMT, Daytona, DJ, GMT, Sub, Daytona, DJ, Daytona, Sub, GMT, DJ, Sub, Daytona, GMT, DJ...

But then, sometimes I throw in a curve, and it winds up being:

DJ, GMT, Daytona, DJ, Sub, GMT, Daytona, DJ, GMT, Sub, Daytona, DJ, Daytona, Sub, GMT, DJ, Sub, Daytona, GMT, Sub...

I've only been wearing my White Exp. II each and every day. I don't (can't) sleep with a watch on, don't know why just can't.
Every so often I get the urge to take another Rollie out of my safe. It's a beautiful thing to be able to wear another "beauty".

For most days it's the SD. It reflects the nature of my work - no frills, nothing flashy, just good old-fashioned quality. Some days, when I've got strictly procedural jobs to do, I like to time myself and the Tudor chrono comes into play. I occasionally put the DJ on if the mood takes me, but I find I can't wear it for more than a day because the SD's much more me.

I have a TT Blue Sub, LV and GMT II

Generally the GMT II and LV rotate every week or so.. with the GMT getting most wrist time.

The TT Sub is left for weekends or special occassions.

New SS GMT II is on order for more formal 'evening' look.
