For those fortunate enough to own more than 1 watch:

Do you wear your watch for particular occasion or do you change them as and when?
I tend to wear my Superocean Heritage for work, I keep the Super Avanger for weekends and the Rolex is for best.

Anyone else?

I more or less have three types of "wearing".

As a beater, I wear my Tag Heuer Caliber 6. For special occasions or parties, it's either the 6.75 or the Montbrillant Legende. For everyday wear (both workdays and weekends) the rest gets their share of wrist time - sometimes to a party too.

For me it's my Steelfish as my knockaround - although by that I mean I wear it if I'm going out for a few drinks with the boys, etc. I also wear it to work sometimes too.

The others I just alternate as the mood takes me. I try to be very careful with my pieces so I won't wear any in a really rough situation (i.e. doing DIY or down the gym).

Apart from the fact it's still being serviced, I probably wear my Le Mans the least, but that's because I like it the most(!) and I've very protective of it. Weekends only for that baby!

I try and match my watch to my outfits, but my work requires different outfits so that gives me flexibility - the Blacksteel sees more time on Firdays and weekends and obviously the Legende will likely appear with the suit, but generally just whatever works best.

I have a lot of forest on my property so I have a cheap $10 quartz for when I'm in the midle of the trees with the tractor and the chainsaw.

I rotate my collection as my mood dictates, although the three most common on my wrist are my BSO, my OSP and a particular Swatch I love. The others (and I've got a couple dozen) get worn when I think of swapping out which 5-6 are on the dresser.

:lol: :lol: Crikey, when I read that back, it looks terrible! I wear the Rolex for 'best' because the watch cost the most money, and I suppose I treasure it in that way.
However, nothing comes close to a Saturday morning when the Super Avenger goes on, and swapped over for the Superocean Heritage on monday Morning!! No other watch feels as good on your wrist as the Breitling as far as I'm concerned.

I wear my black faced Steelfish every weekday from morning till I go to bed.

The Evolution gets occational wrist time on the weekends and if I am not working that particular week. (cant get that one scratched!) And every once in a while the EVO gets strapped on after work and worn around the house. For me, this is my nicest watch (and most expensive one I own, as well).

My silver faced Steelfish is worn if my wife and I are going out on the weekends for dinner and around the house from time to time. It is kinda dressy with the black croc strap so its not a everyday type watch for me.

Now if I am DIY, like todays project of reassembling a lawn mower, I broke out the trusty $25 timex! :)

oh, and my wife wears hers almost every day. But she works in office and the "chance of scratches" are minimal.

Mood and attire dictates my daily choice. For the most part its either my SuperOcean or my Ocean7 LM-2. Both have seen its fair share of dings and scratches.

I rotate mine daily, I wear a different one each day.

Weekend activities dictate which piece to wear.....Swiming Diving Rolex. Going flying, I love the Navi-World. Night flights, my Fortis.

For a night on the town in full blingage......The Navi-World.

i typically wear a montbrillant legende day-to-day. i used to have to wear a suit to work so i'd wear a movado fiero for that (i honestly think most breitlings look awful with a suit) but im looking to dump the movado now.

i ride the subway all the time, so on days where i know im going to be late and alone, i wear an omega speedmaster because it doesnt draw too much attention.

That is indeed heresy!

I wear my Motors T, Datora or my Chronomat Evo for dressy occasions.. not because they are my priciest watches, but because they are the most appropriate in my opinion. I'll likely wear the Zenith Grande Date I picked up off Altair as my new dress watch however.

For just kicking it, I like to wear my Zenith or my Panerais or my Chrono SuperOcean.

Yeah.. well, I likely wouldn't have bought it if it were anyone else as I really shouldn't be spending more money on watches.. but its a good cause, and I do like the watch. I bought his PAM90 too :oops:

Wow nice going Admin. :thumbsup: Apart from laying your hands on a couple of great watches, it's even better that in doing so you were able to help Altair out during what is obviously a very difficult time for him.

Even though most of us on here are separated by thousands of miles it's great that we can give each other support - whether it's just words of support and encouragement, or in your case buying up a few watches!
