How often do you wear your vintage piece(s)?

Just curious how many people here wear a vintage as an everyday piece, in regular rotation, only occasionally, etc.

I wear a contemporary watch most of the time, and like vintage pieces for a change of pace, so probably wear a vintage watch one or two days a week.

Part of that might be a concern that my vintage pieces seem more fragile in my mind than a relatively new watch, so don't want to keep them running 100+ days a year. It's silly perhaps but just a feeling.

I wear one every day. Usually the same one for 3-4 days in a row then switch going through all of the 6 or 7 I have.

Almost exclusively. About 7-10 vintage watches which I wear in rotation.

My only modern watch is a Sinn, which I believe I haven't worn in 2 years.

Everyday. My core rotation of Rolex and Omega lives on two PeneLop Twisters, and they run twice a day for an hour. My Speedies sit on top of the winders and I wind them every day...just fun to do.

Every day. Rotating over 60 watches - often change watches a couple of times per day. I do have some semi modern but the 50-70ies dominate as users.

Wow that sounds like an amazing collection! And a very nice exemplar in the pic.

Pretty much all the time. Rotating about 6 watches from 1942 to 1980s, Omega, Longines to Hermès and automatic Seiko.

Whenever I feel like it, really. My collection is mostly vintage with a couple of newer LE Speedmasters, so I'd say at least 3 or 4 days a week.

I only own one vintage piece, and managed to put a long, deep scratch in the crystal within the first hour of wearing it. I've been kind of shy about wearing it since then -- maybe one day per month.

Here it is, scratch and all.

Everyday. Usually I wear in a weekly rotation. I have to admit after the latest Christies results, I am thinking about taking the 105.003 out of the rotation.

Vintage every day here as well. Sometimes 2 or even 3 each day.
Season, occasion and state of mind decides. 20-30 favourites. Tries to keep more in rotation but find it hard.
Tomorrow it's a bit formal so this one is out of the safe:

Everyday (unless I'm wearing my early 2000s 2254.50). The rotation changes with how I feel in the morning. I've worn this one 4 days in a row.

Practically everyday.. the only thing that is newish is my submariner from 2001. Mostly in rotation but the speedies get a high percentage of the wrist time.
