Mechanical watches in rotation. G-Shocks for beaters.

I tend to wear my seiko prospex divers or gshock for anything that may result in scratches.

I ended up selling off my higher priced non-Rolex watches once I realized I was wearing my BLNR mostly and when I was not I wish I was wearing it. I have a bunch of precision quartz watches, which was a phase of mine, but I've not been motivated to spin them off for pennies on the dollar.

I rotate between my Sub and GMT, The Sub used to get most of the wrist time but I've failed for my GMT again.

If I'm going to be extra rough, or I'm going on a vacation where I don't want to bring a nice watch.... I go for my SKX007

Wear my SeaDweller daily. Only time I don’t is during training sessions and use a Garmin for that.

CHNR (TT) is my new daily. No option for it in this poll, but it seems to be pretty hot right now.

I rotate all my Rolexes and use them daily since 9 years. They're all usually hot models from the Explorer I, the GMT LN (Now discontinued), the Sub no date and the Daytona white dial 116520.
I'll be having the new DJ36 this weekend so that'll take a lot of wrist time as well.
Cheers.
