I rotate primarily between my top four...a vintage omega seamaster, a Prometheus manta ray, a Tudor Black Bay and my trusty Sea Dweller :D I've have several other watches that I occasionally rotate in, vintage Bucherer, Citizen Promaster Carbon and some others...

Always have a watch on during the day. I'll often wear my explorer all night too, since its comfortable and the alarm clock is on my wife's side of the bed! I guess I could get another alarm clock, but it's frankly really convenient to glance at the watch when I wake during the night.

I can go a day or two but if it is not on the wrist I feel like I am missing something.

Days or weeks sometimes, other times not; variety is the spice of life.

I have gone a month without wearing any watch at all back when I had the "Rolex rash" on my wrist. That was a dark time in my life.

Mostly on the weekends. There are too many outdoor activities here. I keep it on a winder on the weekends, unless I'm going out.

Very long and very often. I've been enjoying a vintage El Primero and regularly using a Swatch Scuba since early July and I'm not missing the Rollies.

By the way, I've got many compliments on my El Primero, something that never happened before with the Triple Sixes, 1665s, 1680s, 1675s or 16710s.

No compliments on the Swatch so far, except from my 10yo daughter, but it's great for outdoor activities without the associated headaches of wearing a more expensive time piece.

I put mine in a locked jewelry box bolted in my tool chest when at work. Also off when in the rain locker, but that's it, all other times it's on my wrist. I do bathe it regularly and hand polish it with Bombs Away metal polish. It looks just like it did the day I got it at my AD. This polish is the bomb! http://www.captainrichardsbest.com/p...&product_id=19

This, coupled with duty assignments in places that I'd only wear a disposable piece.

Usually not more than a couple of days. Omega Seamaster and Speedmaster get a day or two. The rest in my collection, Seiko, Doxa and vintage Accutron are glad if they get in a day a month.
