Wearing different sizes

Always takes me a day and a half to get used to changing my watch. Had my DJ41 on for a week and decided to wear my 116200 this week...it's the same when I changed from my Sub to my DJ 41...anyone else the same.

Only when going from smaller to bigger (e.g. Exp1 to SubC). Takes about half a day to "adjust" for me.

Yes, I notice it when I switch from my Panerai 422 which is 47 mm to one of the two Submariners I own which are 40 mm. Not an issue but the more I wear a size the more accustomed I become to it.

What I notice more than size is weight. Like if I'm going to a D-blue or a gold piece after wearing steel.

I rotate my watches such that I am wearing a different watch almost every day so don't really get accustomed to one particular size/weight. All of my watches are relatively similar in size going from 39 mm PP Annual Calendar up to 42 mm with my Speedy. I've got some gold and some steel watches so there is not really a hugely noticeable difference. The key for me is to give them all plenty of wrist time.

Only time I notice a difference is when it's my Daytona's turn because it slots in after my 737. Takes me about 30 seconds to adjust.

Going from my 40mm BLRO to my 44mm Speedmaster co-axial is a different look and feel, but I'm comfortable with both. They are the minimum and maximum sizes with which I'm comfortable.

I do notice the difference when I switch from my 36mm Datejust to my 44mm Pam 111. But you soon get used to it. Anyway, variety is the spice of life and its fun to mix it up with different size watches.
