Since acquiring my first Patek, my Rolexes have received 0 wrist time.

yoast · 23 June 2020, 08:40 PM

I don’t own one anymore

Murcielagoboy2 · 23 June 2020, 09:00 PM

I’ve sold all mine, so yes.

irish john · 23 June 2020, 09:11 PM

wear my sub daily but if i get an aquanaut i think i will let it go

Passionata · 23 June 2020, 09:22 PM

i prefer rolex over my pps in certain occassions

1William · 23 June 2020, 09:29 PM

Not wearing them as much. Enjoying my Grand Seiko's/Seiko's and Panerai's right now more.

enjoythemusic · 23 June 2020, 09:54 PM

The opposite in fact, as no longer have any 'real' Pateks by TRF standards (a vintage 3820 for sentimental / tux wearing), and wear Rolex or, more often nowadays, Panerai. The Panerai really lends itself to real-world use, ocean diving, off-road bicycling, etc. As an added bonus, there are an abundance of straps / bands for it, so it can be worn for formal, casual, or true hard-core sports use.

Panerai's research and development into the use of advanced materials is nice to see. They've also developed new movements, plus you get an 8 year warranty too on even their basic $5k models (except for the $16,000 PAM1118 i'm waiting on, as that comes with a 70 year warranty). It's great to feel young and be active, and have a timepiece company that offers advanced modern materials matched with a wonderful warranty.

chmhill · 23 June 2020, 10:00 PM

Sold my Rolex already

ezinhk · 23 June 2020, 10:19 PM

Sold them. Just way too many people wear in HK and too many fakes.

ap1 · 23 June 2020, 10:22 PM

I wear mine, room for both

V25V · 23 June 2020, 10:38 PM

I have 3 R's left, wear the DD and 116500 on occasion. Hulk....never. Likely going to sell it.

guanxi · 23 June 2020, 10:40 PM

There is an occasion for everything!

rmagoo57 · 23 June 2020, 10:45 PM

Nope. I'm still breathing.

Berettameier · 24 June 2020, 12:55 AM

I am so happy to own no Rolex anymore. Sold them all and I do not miss a single Rolex. Will never ever buy Rolex again.

Bearxj86 · 24 June 2020, 01:01 AM

1680 red on rubber strap, 16520 Daytona I wear once in a while. Nothing modern, nothing new, nothing super flashy.

Ichiran · 24 June 2020, 01:16 AM

True, I'm left with the daytona which I rarely wear.

Ramiks · 24 June 2020, 01:53 AM

Yes, for around 6 months. I had an issue with carrying and taking care of belongings including watch, ring, wallet, keychain, and accessories in general.

vandyologist · 24 June 2020, 01:53 AM

I’ve owned a bunch of Rolex but only have a sub-date currently. I wear it only sometimes with the bulk of my wrist time going to Patek.

CamSLC · 24 June 2020, 01:57 AM

My most recent purchase was a Zenith Daytona that gets wrist time. My other two Rolex's, explorer/exp2 haven't been worn in months. I like them both and attribute less wear to staying home more often than before.

sxdcfv · 24 June 2020, 02:29 AM

I wear my Platona A LOT.....but still find time for my other PP pieces.

sokoloka · 24 June 2020, 02:45 AM

Occasionally pop on my SD43 or SS SkyD but otherwise tend to find myself all AP - with the exception of the fantastic Breitling 1959 Navitimer Reissue. That thing slaps.

gcsk76 · 24 June 2020, 03:56 AM

Sold mine, not seeing wrist time.

kneedeep · 24 June 2020, 03:59 AM

Hell no, there's an important place for them - golf course, under water, tinkering with machines. You can't wear PPs doing that stuff and not wreck them.

Agreed. And then there's stuff for which a Rolex is too good for which I wear an Omega. Truly indestructible.

Excellent answer! Hopefully more occasions for beach and ocean fun rather than boring Big City work

AK797 · 24 June 2020, 07:53 AM

No, I rotate pretty evenly, familiarity breeds my contempt.

This !

Brian7708 · 24 June 2020, 10:06 AM

Had 3 Rolex . I sold 2 and kept the 116500. I’d hate to sell the Daytona and one day want it back. Happy with the Patek. Much more subtle and much more my style. I got tired of seeing all the other dads wearing the latest Rolex sport models and wanted to be different.

GB-man · 24 June 2020, 10:29 AM

No. I buy with aesthetics at the forefront. Watches are at the end of the day wearable goods, some would say jewelry. Rolex has some of the best designs in the business.

jerryguo · 24 June 2020, 11:46 AM

Patek makes some fine watches, so does Rolex. I can’t think of any Patek model that will make me stop wearing a Rolex.
