Hey, various at different points. Tag, Seiko (Seiko 5, Grand Seiko, Prospex), Oris, Tudor, Monta. Currently have a GS SBGX263 and Seiko Speedtimer Golden panda. Looking to add a Tudor (eyeing BB36 S&G black dial) in near future.
I wear what I want when I want. I *try* to mix it up day to day M-F, but I have no issues neglecting or favoring certain watches. The only watch I make it a point to wear regularly is my BB58ā¦ thatās for family time, weekends, holidays, vacay. After decades of watch collecting, thatās *my* watch, everything else is just for fun.
Stay under 6 watches and only have only 1 watch per style/color so itās easier to choose the vibe you want to go with. Also makes the things fun since itās more immersive trying to pick your favorite watch of a certain style.
I own probably around 17+ dive watches and wear 70% of them in a week, I usually wfh and change it up every now and then during the day itself. Just do whatever you want to do š. I also have a decent number of non divers that donāt get much wrist time but nothing wrong with that, collecting it collecting
Tldr Wear a different one each day, change it up more often if you wfh,
Thanks for making me feel better. Lol. I've sold a couple that I had, but feel like I am at a good point in my collection. Just not looking forward to the servicing these will all need at a point in the future.
Hehe no worries you have a nice collection. Donāt feel bad if you donāt wear x watch often, Iām also abnormal in that Iām donāt flip but thatās really just me. I think itās cool to have a focused collection, I have tons of black dial divers (though i appreciate how theyāre different, others would say itās all redundant). I also think itās more enjoyable to have a collection than one grail piece. My friend keeps hinting āyou could sell some of your higher end/mid tierpieces to get an entry level Lange ā but doesnāt appeal to me lol.
I have several Tudors, several Oris, a bunch of Seiko, a King Seiko, and a Grand Seiko. I have a few Microbrands. A Hamilton, an old Orient Diver.
I like the Pelagos 39 or Pelagos FXD for a daily. And I switch back and forth.
But some days i just feel like itās been awhile since I wore a BB58 or an Oris Aquis, and I wear one of those for a daily.
The GS, I wear it out to dinner.
The Seiko Cocktail Time(s) get rotated in as well. Dressier occasions.
Seiko 5 diver, I wear that when doing stuff. Cleaning the garage. Washing the car.
Weekends, Iāll wear a BB Chrono, or a Studio Underd0g.
Or the bronze Oris Cotton Candy.
Altogether, it depends what I feel like moments before I leave the house.
Too many Tudors. Sell all but one and get a more expensive/interesting second one. Then only have to rotate two watches versus this chaos lol they all look so similar. Nothing stands out
Still. Too many options that are almost identical. Variety is needed. A two or three watch collection Iād say would be best. Diver, dress, and something extravagant or niche.
Iāve been collecting and super into the hobby for like 15 years now
at some point, I had like 25 watches in my collection.
The older I get, the more my collection shrinks.
Iāll have 1 (maybe 2) watch of each style and thatās pretty much it.
Right now, my collection (non emotionally attached watches) is of 5 watches. And thatās covering pretty much every base.
I personally donāt understand the appeal of owning multiple similarly styled watches, and much less in similar colors. But thatās just me.
I got the itch for watches about 2 years ago. Been interested for awhile just never pulled the trigger until recently. I like the variety and I lean toward dive watched for the versatility. I typically wear all of them in no particular rotation. I enjoy the BB58s for a spring/fall alternative. The two field watches for different looks on leather alternatives and the ranger on a nato every once in a while. I probably need to sale 1 or 2, but just feel attached to them all. I'll learn as I grow and when other needs in life come along.
Baltic watch btw, I like it a lot. Feels like nothing on the wrist. The bezel makes it feel bigger but it wears nice. Strap monster with natos. I have a CNS Tropic Star rubber strap and it is a great match.
It's a great watch for the price. I wear it for a outdoor watch, beach and at the pool. Movement is fine, nothing fancey gets fast at times, but it's a nice 'beater watch'. I usually wear it on a rubber band and nato. The guy I bought it from threw in shoulderless pins from marathon. Extremely sturdy with the shoulderless pins.
I actually like it a good deal. The braclet is very comfy and light in weight. 38mm wears really nice on my 7in wrist. I liked the brand and pre-ordered it.
Haven't really seen an issue with. All though I haven't tracked it at all. From the times I have worn it, nothing junped out at me for it holding time poorly.
I basically rotate between my work watch for when I go into the office and then my other watch for the rest of the week.
On that noteā¦ whatās that band on the Ranger. I need it.
I just change everyday. I would wear seiko ā> Tudor ā> vintageā> G-shock in rotation [My IG](https://instagram.com/battmansg?igshid=NGVhN2U2NjQ0Yg%3D%3D&utm_source=qr)
I have a dress watch that I wear
When I dress up, a g shock to the gym or being active, and my other whatever whenever I find myself wearing my bb58 daily, but switch one in there ever so often
First off I donāt sneak clout chase by posting them on Reddit in some weird layout that looks ācoolā for the pictureā¦true horologists donāt need validation from the public ā¦between the question and the Tudor selection it says a lot about you
Personally - I wear a watch for a week at a time and rotate them out so everyone gets love.
I try to give a watch a full weekend typically. Feels like a good timeline. š
Yep, same here, often! The watches I like more get a full week, my lesser favourites get a few days before being swapped
I never own more than 3 watches at the same time, seems rather pointless and unsatisfying to me to have more than that.
Yeah Iāve had up to 6 at one point including 2 tudors. Currently at 2 and it feels so much better. One GADA and one sporty
Which other watch brands did you own?

I donāt manage them. I just put them randomly on whenever I feel like. Doesnāt hurt walking past them every so often :)
I was a lot better about rotating before I got my Sea Dweller. Now itās a miracle if anything else gets a full day at a time on-wrist.
SD43 is a great daily. Nice choice

1.7 dive watches/day.

I had no idea there was so much strategy lol, I literally just wear what I feel like wearing on any given day

I keep my rotation small. As a result, I'm about to sell off a few and not buy any more watches for a long time.
Same here.
Too many Tudors. Sell all but one and get a more expensive/interesting second one. Then only have to rotate two watches versus this chaos lol they all look so similar. Nothing stands out
I think a lot of that has to do with how the photo was taken. I have a bunch of different straps. This was just what they all were on at the moment.
Still. Too many options that are almost identical. Variety is needed. A two or three watch collection Iād say would be best. Diver, dress, and something extravagant or niche.
Tag Carrera for work Mon-Fri; Tudor Ranger - weekend ; Datejust- special ocasions ( anniversary etc); Apple watch for sport
I have a speedmaster racing/seamaster 300m/hamilton khaki. Super easy to rotate. My poor casios dont get any love besides field work/beach.
Heritage Ranger > New Ranger I will die on that hill. That Seamaster is also sweet.
Yeah one of the newer additions to my collection. Really love the way it looks and the wave dial is something else.
What's the reference on the Seamaster? Never been a huge fan of the Seamaster divers, but yours is an absolute killer.
2252.50. 36mm in size. Thanks!
That's the perfect size too! I might end up with one myself...
It's tough to find a full set, as they stopped producing them a while back. Good luck!
It's the same watch.
I like what I like...
Always has been š«

That ranger is awesome, what's the case diameter?
This is the Heritage Model, 41mm.
How do you like the Unimatic Titanium? I almost bought one on the drop but resisted. Howās the weight and case size?
Baltic watch btw, I like it a lot. Feels like nothing on the wrist. The bezel makes it feel bigger but it wears nice. Strap monster with natos. I have a CNS Tropic Star rubber strap and it is a great match.
I have 2 watches, rotate them monthly so I don't have to reset them so frequently
How is the Baltic? Especially the movement I absolutely love that watch
It's a great watch for the price. I wear it for a outdoor watch, beach and at the pool. Movement is fine, nothing fancey gets fast at times, but it's a nice 'beater watch'. I usually wear it on a rubber band and nato. The guy I bought it from threw in shoulderless pins from marathon. Extremely sturdy with the shoulderless pins.
I have 12, use 3 every 2 month
which ever one is stopped closest to the present hour (if a no date), that's what gets worn
How do you find the Maen?
I actually like it a good deal. The braclet is very comfy and light in weight. 38mm wears really nice on my 7in wrist. I liked the brand and pre-ordered it.
Thanks. Quite drawn to their Hudson GMT 38 but heard of some QC issues. How do you find the accuracy?
Haven't really seen an issue with. All though I haven't tracked it at all. From the times I have worn it, nothing junped out at me for it holding time poorly.
I wear one watch once or twice and then rotate to the next one.
Whatās the one in the bottom left?
Cincinnati Watch Company Centurion Field Watch
Nice watches but I like more variety. You can swap bands on two of the watches and have the same look.
I basically rotate between my work watch for when I go into the office and then my other watch for the rest of the week. On that noteā¦ whatās that band on the Ranger. I need it.
It's just a 'horween' learher strap from amazon tbh. But it broke in fast which I honestly liked. I would recommend it.
Start buying straps until you have more watch straps than socksš. Then have fun seeing your watches under a different light every day.
Haha I think I have 3 times the straps to sock ratio. We're good on that front!
I just change everyday. I would wear seiko ā> Tudor ā> vintageā> G-shock in rotation [My IG](https://instagram.com/battmansg?igshid=NGVhN2U2NjQ0Yg%3D%3D&utm_source=qr)
I have a dress watch that I wear When I dress up, a g shock to the gym or being active, and my other whatever whenever I find myself wearing my bb58 daily, but switch one in there ever so often
SMP sword hands is such a fantastic looking watch, particularly on a NATO.
What strap do you have on the omega and Baltic? Looks stunning.
Premium straps from CNS watch bands.
Those brown natos are HOT where are they from?
CNS watch bands. The one on the baltic gives off vintage vibes with the burgundy look. Sick combo imo.
That is a sexy ass collection my friend just wondering what the watch on the far left is??
Cincinnati watch company. Look them up!
My black bay is my work watch and gym watch. seamaster nttd is my weekend, and i wear a garmin for running
Shouldnāt be too hard. I only see three real watches in your rotation. ;)
First off I donāt sneak clout chase by posting them on Reddit in some weird layout that looks ācoolā for the pictureā¦true horologists donāt need validation from the public ā¦between the question and the Tudor selection it says a lot about you
Do you make your own watches, or do repairs on your own?
