Poll: How many rolexes do you alternate during the week?

It seems that no matter how large my collection grows - I typically stick to rotating between 2 of my fav watches at any given period of time. What about the rest of you? Do you wear all of your watches evenly? Have many but stick to wearing '1' for a duration of time?

Don't really rotate much during the week, usually rotate every few months or so.

I only own one...so one.

Kinda like it that way though, I like wearing the same watch every day. A Rolex is a large expense for me as well and while I could probably swing a second one if I really wanted to, it just doesn't make sense for me really. Occasionally I find myself envying those who have options....a DJ or ExpI would be a nice alternative to my Sub occasionally, but I'm pretty happy with just my one :)

Pretty much rotate when I feel like it too. Change once a month or so... But I do like to change based on the occasion and what I am wearing too.

Try to give wrist time to each watch every week. Also slimming down the collection so they all get wear. If a watch falls out of the rotation, time to move it on...

1 typically wear two watches a week (work and casual). Maybe rotating through three depending on occasions. Some of my watches may wait months to get worn just because of the size of my collection. I often think about sizing down but hate to part with any of them at this point.

I've recently let 1 go and added 2. I wear a new to me 16610 daily, my 1675 only when I'm not doing anything other than sedentary and my real favourite Big Block mainly at the weekend as the chrono is useful for timing cooking/bbq etc

I wear a different watch each day. The collection is at 7 right now, but 3 get the bulk of my attention. Like others, I aspire to slim down the collection so I can enjoy my favorites more often. My Rolex models (214270 Explorer I and 116710 BLRN GMT-Master II) definitely get the most attention from me, but I'm still in the honeymoon period.

I wear a different one almost every day, so 4+. Hell, most days I wear one to work and when I get home or go out I switch and put on a different one, Lol.

I try not to hang on to anything I'm not wearing once a week or so and with 6-9 watches that isn't always possible. It's rare for me to wear the same watch two days in a row unless I'm traveling. Just one is a Rolex in the collection with a second probably coming soon.
There are just too many other interesting watches out there to have only Rolexes. For example, I have a Sinn 203 Arktis with a really striking blue dial. It was well under $2000 slightly used but gives me just as much pleasure to wear and is commented on more compared to any Rolex I've ever worn. And nothing, including the venerated Submariner, is as versatile, comfortable and classic as my Speedmaster. I would love to have a half dozen Rolexes but only if I have just as many other brands to enjoy.

Wear each of my 2 Rolex and 2 omegas at least once a week, but am looking to maybe start wearing 2 each week so they get a little longer at a time.

I always have a Rolex on my wrist whether it's my Explorer I or GMT Master II. I cook with them on, mow the lawn, ride my bike, clean the house, etc.

I usually rotate 2-3 a week...it also depends on what I'm wearing, and to where I'm going.

My Rolex watches are in rotation with about fifteen total watches of various brands that I wear regularly.

I usually change watches every couple of weeks or so, but sometimes more often.

There are less often worn watches that I throw into the mix from time to time.

I have four and tend to wear them all throughout the week when the mood for a particular one strikes me. I sometimes wear one during the day and switch to another in evening.

The first 2 Rolex I ever purchased (long gone) were a SS submariner date and a SS daytona white dial. I still think that a submariner during the week and a daytona on the weekend make for a great duo.
