I was wondering how you choose which Breitling or other watch to wear.. Do you use a specific rotation or is it just a matter of 'feels like a B! day'??
I rotate my watches so that they all get used.. I never wear the same watch twice in the rotation....I decide which one I will wear based on my mood and choice of clothing... Sometimes I use convienence as a reason.. My aerospace is light so I use it when wanting to be low key...My SOHC never gets worn out because its too big! I usually wear it at night....

What are you stratagies and habbits???

I don't have a specific rotation, really goes by how I'm feeling that day, but I don't wear the same one two days in a row.

I like to switch em up depending on what I am wearing and how I am feeling. For example if I'm wearing a dress shirt then its my 6.75 all the way. Its the only one that fits under the cuff. If I want to go unnoticed then Rolex all the way. And hanging out is my all star super avenger. I love em all, but they all have their special times...

I choose from my current rotation based on what I am wearing that day - colours, dress vs. casual etc.

I tend to change up the rotation every couple of months and then select pieces to ensure that I have a nice mix. There are some that don't regularly come out but every now and then I'll reach back and pull one out for a little while.

I rotate between my watches on a daily basis, and I wear them evenly. Sometimes even switch between them during the day, if possible. I love variety, so I'll keep on adding some more watches to my collection to have a watch for every day of the week :D In fact, I kind of see myself owning 7 watches, but maybe not more. We'll see...

Normally my youngest daughter (1,5 years) gets to pick the watch of the day. Very rarely she picks something that clashes with the rest of the outfit but if she does, she gets a second pick.

I close my eyes and use a divining rod to select which watch I wear.... :lol:

Pick according to what is planned for the day/what I'll be wearing. Matching is critical :wink:

I normally pick depending upon what type of activity I am doing.

If I wear blue, it's the Breitling. Any other color and I go with the Pam 112.

I don't have the biggest collection, but for me it all depends on what I am wearing, colors, casual or dressy and so on. I do tend to have on specific watch that is not as nice as the others that I wear more often because I'm willing to let it get the bumps and bruises. I save the Navitimer for dressy occasions. :mrgreen:

Hi!

I only have three watches but I like to change them up as often as the mood hits me in conjunction with my attire. Currently, I rarely wear a tie to work but I do use dress shirts often. As a result I like to wear my 50th Anniversary Navitimer for these moments. I also wear lots of polo shirts so I use my Seawolf mostly for these occasions and sometimes my 50th Anniversay Navitimer as well. I like to use my 1461/52 which I just got for more dressy moments or when wearing dress shirts to work.

As a result atleast two watches get worn every other day i.e the 1461/52 and which ever other one fancy my mood on that particular day!

The reason that my 1461/52 is such a constant wearer is because - it's a real pain to set it if it winds down - so I wear it! :evil:

However, I have gotten loads of compliments for that particular watch - lol :lingsrock:


Best Regards,

Enezdez

Picking the watch is easy based on dress or casual. Picking the strap/bracelet can be complicated! :lingsrock:
