How do you wear your so many watches?
« on: April 08, 2013, 02:14:03 PM »
Just out of curiosity, I wonder how do you guys wear your precious watches.

Do you wear one model per week and change the next on the other week?

Or do you wear that one for one month or so....

I wear different watch everyday. Over the weekend I wear 2 watches one in the morning and changed the other in the afternoon. Also have tried 3 in a day.

Just that for changing the watch everyday I need to screw and unscrew the crown of each watch which may cause the gasket wear and tear even faster.

How do you guys go about it and what do you think of wearing different watches everyday?

I rotate once every couple of days.
But some do get more wrist time than others.
But when one gets absolutely ZERO wrist time, time to move it out.

When I get tired of one, I switch to another. This happens every few days so all my watches get worn often. I like to take them out and see the sun (or moon) so they don't get too bored in the safe.

The crown, gaskets and crown tube are usually replaced during service so they should last in between unless you expose the watch (and yourself) to extremely harsh environments.

Wearing down the crown and gaskets should be cheaper than wearing down the whole movement no?

Brother can you clarify?

Do you mean that to sacrifice the gasket as a result of unscrew and screw the crown is cheaper than using a winder that will sacrifice the movement due to prolong wear and tear of the engine continuos movement?

1. Winders aren't cheap and cost money to operate (electricity). They don't last forever too. They cost money to replace.

2. Anything that keeps moving will wear down eventually, sooner or later. You want sooner or later?

Whatever strikes my fancy at the moment. No rotation system.

Thanks brother for your clarification.

So I will continue my daily unscrew and screw routine  :Cheers:

According to occasion and dress for the day....I am only in shirt  and tie when its absolutely necessary. So its the sports models most times. The rest sit in the winders and I have the winders on only about a couple of hours once a week. So I am constantly adjusting when I put them on.

I have a swapping system whereby I take 3 watches out and change them every 8 hours. That way I wear all 3 in a day. Finicky I know. :Laughing_on_floor:

hi.
I rotate the watch at least once a week. To prolong the screw in crown for automatic watch condition, I just wind the that watch without correcting the time/date to lubricate those movement. It is no use to correct the time/date if the watch stay in the box right? You not gonna wear it anyway maybe in a week.

I rotate as often as I can... but I'll be honest... a lot of my watches don't get much wrist time other than being worn around the home... I'm too scared of bashing them.

The one that gets the most wrist time is my modded Seiko Sumo.
