jlux · 2022-10-02T14:06:17Z

Explore jlux's weekly watch rotation featuring Omega CK859 and IWC Pilot's Watch Mark XX. Discover collector insights on versatility and selection.

Gerard (jlux) offers a glimpse into his weekly watch selection ritual, a practice many collectors share in curating their horological companions for the days ahead. His choices for a casual week, punctuated by a wine tasting, provide a practical example of how personal style and planned activities influence a collector's wristwear decisions. This post invites readers to consider the art of the weekly watch rotation.

Typically on Sundays I make my choice of watches for the coming week.

For next week,other than a wine tasting

,no special social or cultural events are planned and therefore I can go casual for most of the time.

Best,

Gerard

Key Points from the Discussion

The Omega CK859 is a highly regarded reference, with one collector noting it was an impulse online purchase driven by discontinuation rumors, a decision they do not regret.
The IWC Pilot's Watch Mark XX is highlighted as a versatile timepiece suitable for a wide range of situations, making it a strong contender for daily wear.
The original author, jlux, acknowledges having numerous other timepieces that also vie for wrist time, suggesting a larger collection beyond the weekly selection.

What a line-up — I typically select one watch for work week — a different watch for the weekend — that Omega Chronoscope really gets my attention !
