Do you have that one special Rolex that you wear out only on special occasions?

Or you just do not wear it all due to some past event - and just have held it for 'keep-sakes' and preservation (for one reason or another, afraid of getting it stolen, dinged up, stored in safe deposit box, etc)...

I rotate all of my watches fairly often so there are none that are saved for any merit of an occasion --

What about the rest of you? Whats your 'special 'watch and where is it worn?

My two "special " watches are both my grandfathers on my dad as well as moms side of the family. I don't wear them. They are priceless to me.

Everything else I wear without hesitation to wherever, and whenever.

My dressier watch is my new DJII and is worn carefully because of the 18k bezel and PCL.
It could be a every day watch but I am keeping it a "nice occasion" watch.

Man.... that is a great photo. The watch looks stunning.

Nope...whatever is up in the rotation is getting a ride on my wrist.

Unless I want to wear something else.

Jaycnyp · 24 June 2017, 09:39 AM

I keep saying I want a "special occasion" watch, but I have no will power and wear them for more than special occasions

As I'm writing this I'm down to one watch (sort of) so my yearning for a special occasion watch is starting to set in.

Hollister · 24 June 2017, 09:44 AM

Special occasion it's Journe, Patek or JLC for me. Rolex is the "everyday" watch.

beshannon · 24 June 2017, 09:50 AM

My Lange 1815

ajas · 24 June 2017, 10:08 AM

My Sub is good for every occasion I can think of.

I guess it would be my early 1970s DeVille-- closest thing I have to a dress watch and it's what I wear to something like a semi-formal wedding if I wear a watch at all. Otherwise I pretty much wear a diver with anything. I'll even wear a blue faced diver on a rubber strap with a suit if the mood strikes me.

Pics?

toneafficianado · 24 June 2017, 11:06 AM

Mine is now my new DJ41 blue dial with Jubilee.
Bling it on!
The bezel and the PCLs of the Jubilee look so great under lights.

GradyPhilpott · 24 June 2017, 11:12 AM

All my Rolex watches are special, but they are not limited to special occasions.

MCO1 · 24 June 2017, 11:34 AM

I guess when I need a dress watch I throw a croc strap on my 39mm Explorer. There are none really held back for special use. My GMT2 has the most sentimental value at this point but I haven't stored it away...yet.

RichM · 24 June 2017, 11:37 AM

I wore my BLRO to my sons wedding last November, so I guess that would be my choice.

swils8610 · 24 June 2017, 11:38 AM

I randomly rotate all of my watches. None are reserved for special occasions. I tend to wear my TT DJ41 or Bluesy when dressing up.

Platinum DD diamond dial.

kilyung · 24 June 2017, 10:52 PM

My special occasion watch is not a Rolex but rather a PP or JLC.

Chiboy · 24 June 2017, 10:57 PM

For the six months I have owned it, I have had a heck of a time getting my Daytona off my wrist.

robbrum · 24 June 2017, 11:06 PM

My 19018 is my special ocassion watch

arguetaoscar · 24 June 2017, 11:15 PM

My Fathers 50 years old DD, only worn in special occasions. This was my daughters baptism.

Very special occasion watch. .... Patek Calatrava. It's a very beautiful watch on a brown alligator strap. My wife surprised me with it on my birthday while on a trip to London. I had researched the heck out of Patek watches before our trip, visited a bunch of London watch shops, and then decided it was too expensive (about $6000). When I returned from a couple of meetings, my wife popped the watch out of a bag. Wow!!! It looks totally new now and is worth more than $6000.

Everyday watch .... Very old DayDate. Once in a while watches .... DayDate and BLNR. In the shop watch... Swiss Army.

Yeah, me too, altho I will probably slip on a ceramic Rolex when I don't want to even think or worry about my watch on a nice occasion.

It would be my Day-Date, but for really special occasions I wear one of my two Pateks.

JayB · 25 June 2017, 01:51 AM

No exclusively for special occasions but if I need to dress a little smarter I always reach for my 36mm white stick dial DateJust with fluted bezel and jubilee bracelet.

To be honest I could probably get away with either watch as my Explorer aslo looks good no matter what the occasion.

peterskinner · 25 June 2017, 02:22 AM

I suppose my Cellini is the most elegant, by a large margin. But any will do; it's what makes you feel good. No-one else is likely to care anyway.
