Wrist Shot - What's on your wrist today?

I've got my name in for a 126710BLRO at my AD. I've picked up four Rolex's from her over the years (40mm 114060 no-date Sub & 126900 Air King for myself and 31mm 277200 OP & 277200 OP Celebration for my wife), so I figure that I'll eventually get "the call".

I'm not in a hurry, so I don't mind waiting.

Each of the watches have been to celebrate an occasion in my wife and I's lives-- the BLRO will be because I get my flight medical back and can get back into the jet.

However, I've heard that the BLRO's are much harder to come across than the BLNR due to Rolex having trouble being consistent with the ceramic red on the Pepsi, so it might be a wait.

You’ll get it! For me it’s the same brother. Every watch I buy is for an occasion because they will never be for sale. If I “sell” them it’ll to a family member like my siblings for what I paid the AD. I despise the flipping and grey market so yeah…..

Can’t wait for you to post pics of your BLRO once you get it and can’t wait got you to get back in that jet!

I picked up a new gold series 10 on Milanese loop 2 days ago and I think I am about to pack it up and send it back. With all the proper watches in my collection I feel like I will never use the Apple Watch and if I use the the Apple Watch, I will never use the actual watches which I have way too many of. Apple is cool for sure but just for me I feel like the wrist presence of a toy more than an actual watch is just not sitting right over the past 2 days.

I hear what you are saying and i did the same with the apple watch 3 years back, bought it wore it at home for a week and sold it.

For me I wear my mechanical watch on my left hand and a Mi band on my right for health reasons, I have no choice.

Now with the slimmer apple watch and the miband not being as good in accuracy I am thinking of getting the smaller size alu apple watch to replace it. I dont feel comfortable with wearing a full size watch on both wrists but i might not have a choice. The functions outweigh the looks....

I’ve thought about doing this myself but haven’t had the guts to have two watches on and look funny. It sure would be nice to have all the health features as you say so maybe you’re on to something with the smaller Apple Watch on the right hand. But I am not sure how I feel about it. I am actually going to Apple tomorrow to return my gold series 10 and maybe I’ll try out the smaller one while I am there to see how I feel. A long time ago I had met someone who wore his Rolex on one wrist and Apple Hermes on the other and I couldn’t help think of the guy as a douche and now I am thinking of doing the same. Lol. I would love to find a fitness band that’s subtle and w/o a screen (woop charged subscription which I hate) but I just worry about the look of having two watches on.

That escalated quickly, new to me Moon Watch today.

I couldnt care less about what people think and what it looks like, If its got to do with your health go for it.

Added a new Rollie and a fun piece to the collection that I had been wanting to for some time.

I have an Apple Watch (usually upgrade every 3 years or so, so I just got the new 49mm Series 10 Hermes), but I also have a "WHOOP" band that I wear 24/7 on my right wrist. the Whoop is just a band, and it's for straight fitness/health tracking (although even though it clearly has no watch face, I *still* get people asking why I'm wearing two watches...)

I wear the AW for workouts, and usually slip it into my rotation for a full day once a week, otherwise, I'm always switching up what I'm wearing from my collection (much of which I've posted here from time to time!)

I have seen people wearing two watches, and while it does kind of come off as "my Rolex is my status symbol even though my AW which I'm also wearing actually tells the time + more better" as another posted said, do you and don't care what others think. Most are jealous... and when I wear my other watches, it's not due to the superior timekeeping abilities or complications (even though those complications are cool, it's not like any smart watch can do them better plus some), but luxury and sport mechanical watches, etc. are really pieces of jewelry and a nod to simpler times and precision watch making. Different strokes!

I've never seen one in person, but these are SUPER cool! Very lowkey watch as well (lowkey as in unless you know watches you would have no idea what this brand is!)

[SaMaster18]

Oh, here's a few faces on the new AW (paired to certain focuses)
