I know what you mean…that’s why I have an Aquis incoming lol…why not both? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Yeah I've definitely felt this. 

I once walked into a watch shop in a mall trying to see if they can help me adjust the hour hand alignment on my Orient Mako 1. When I approached the rep, I immediately sensed her judging me, as if she was purposely flashing her Rolex Ladies Datejust at me. She even had the audacity to say to me "you should get a better watch". I will never forget that. 

It's unfortunate that people judge how much you're willing spend by what you've already spent /wearing, and I think in a way, that's just how luxury retail is for the longest time. From a sales-rep's POV, if they see someone wearing a $5k watch vs someone wearing a $150 watch, they can't help but judge because to them, that may be the difference between a sale and a waste of time. That said, I don't think giving a potential buyer attitude or passing judgement is okay at all; it contributes to this "snobbery" that we're all so sick of. 

Don't get me wrong, I've also had great experiences with reps who are genuine watch nerds willing to just talk shop with you, let you try on multiple pieces, and without ever making you feel intimidated. That's the real way to sell. Sell the long term experience. Make me think of you when I want to buy that grail watch. 

I continue to wear my watches in rotation, even if I'm just working at my desk in my home office. Right now desk diving with my Oris Divers 65. 

not unless you've got a nice big desk mat :) 

Definitely feel incredibly lucky. Got in and out right before the Omicron variant was a thing. 

Great choice. Been admiring the U50 from a-far and can really see myself wearing one. 

What a dilemma haha. I think about these things all the time when I go on a trip. I've brought multiple watches and only 1 watch before. Both have their pros and cons; here are my thoughts and what I ended up doing.

Pros to bringing multiple
You'll have options to choose from.
You can wear one on each wrist with different timezones! 

Cons to bringing multiple
You have to worry about multiple watches 
You need a thing to carry them around which may take up valuable space

Pros to bringing one
You'll wear it all the time and will create memories with it that entire trip
You don't need to worry about other watches
You can buy another watch :) 

Cons to bringing one
You'll only have 1 option (unless you buy another one on your trip) 

I was debating on bringing 3 watches with me on my trip to Thailand but ended up bringing just my SMP 300. My rationale was to reduce un-needed stress. Less stress = better trip. It did everything with me; dinner, hikes, swimming, snorkeling, beside clock. I ended up buying a G-Shock there and rocked one watch on each wrist lol.
