If you own a nice watch
By nice, I mean brands like Cartier, Rolex, a nicer Omega or Tag, etc.
If you wear a nice watch, do you wear it every single day, or do you ever switch it out with cheaper/more trendy watches? I'll see watches that I like, such as the Michael Kors one that is a few posts down, but I never buy them or wear anything else. It's probably silly, but I feel kind of guilty wearing a $200 trendy watch when I have something so nice laying in my jewelry box. I wear my Omega Constellation every day. I feel like it goes with everything, is timeless, and I truly do love it.
Do you wear your nice watch daily, or switch it out with some less expensive and trendy watches?

I LOVE the Cartier tank. I had a hard time deciding what watch to get and that was one of the three contenders.
What kind of Rolex do you have?
I have an Omega, not a Rolex. I did want a Rolex Ladies Datejust, because they were the only brand I considered that had the exact combination I wanted - yellow gold and stainless band, some diamonds, and a grey mother of pearl dial. That combo in a Rolex was way out of my price range, though, so I got an Omega with all of those things, except a white mother of pearl dial.

I wear a classic Timex with an olive khaki band every day (casual office dress code). It's neutral and goes with everything.
I also have a nice Seiko I wear if I have important meetings/have to dress business professional somewhere.
Yeah, I feel like the only people who are familiar with Tag or Omega are those who have looked into buying a nice watch. It's not like a Rolex or Cartier, which pretty much anyone recognizes as an expensive watch.
Lurking, but I'll answer! I have a nice Fendi watch that I wear 90% of the time. I have several MK's that I rotate, but as far as every day use, the Fendi is my go to.
My mom has a Rolex and a few Movado's and NEVER wears them. She wears this strange Men's diving watch occasionally (something she got from her job). I know it's expensive, but to me it looks huge on her. She's petite so I think she should wear something dainty, but she likes it. But she doesn't generally wear watches that often. Random, I know.

I keep dropping hint to DH that I want a Cartier Ballon Bleu. And he keeps pretending that he did not hear the hints!!!
My everyday watch is a Michele which is ok but not high end, if I had a high end watch I would wear it everyday. I think most fashion watches are immitations of higher ends anyways, like the white (ceramic) watch is trying to be Chanel, or the shaped of MKs mimic Rolex, you see them more because they are a lot more affordable and generally women are not watch collector/aficianados so as long as it looks good they will buy it, but don't care how long it lasts or what kind of movement it has.
My sister has an Omega that sounds just like your and she wears hers everyday for the past 10 years.
My mom wears her Breitling every single day. She went from a $30 Timex to a Breitling!
I have a rose gold MK (that's pretty damn fancy to me), and I wear it every day. I didn't wear a watch before I got it.
I switch off daily between my Movado and Tiffany watches. Both I'd consider high end (though not quite Rolex level). My Tiffany is a classic stainless tank, perfect for daily wear.
My sister has a Tiffany watch that is 18K gold with tons of diamonds -- easily a $20K watch and she only wears it on special occasions.
I'm trying to convince my husband to upgrade my MK to a Perrelet Diamond Flower but so far he's not buying it. I'm not sure if I'd wear it everyday. Probably would.
H is the watch man though; his Omega is his work watch. Gucci work weekends. Perrelet for special occasions.
