I've got a nice watch thats worth a bob .. or several

Thing is, I've never actually wore it ..

So you pay a few grand for a watch and never actually wear it, which is IMO pointless.

Do you wear your 'expensive' timepiece for special occasions only or, "**** it, I wear it down the pub as well"?

 

I wore mine for years but its in my safe now and I wear a cheapo Rotary that someone bought me for Christmas last year.....

 

Every day

 

I wear my Breitling every day, I don't really have "special occasions".

Only time I don't wear it is in bed, or when working on the car etc when it would be likely to get dinged.

 

wear it all the time, its insured if it get stolen whilst out of the house etc. But tend to make sure coat / jumper / shirt covers it if I feel it warrent it

I have a

Rolex TT/Blue Submariner
Panerai 104
Tag Ti5 Chrono

I wear them everywhere except work ( I'm a comp systems engineer so they wouldn't last long )

 

never off

 

wear mine all the time

 

Always on

 

All of the time, apart from occasionally when using a mouse for long periods. The sheer weight of it....

 

I wear a Tag which cost £1,100 - okay not dead expensive but in my eyes a lot for a watch.

Wear it everyday though

 

You must get some strange looks with three watches on your wrist?

 

everyday really otherwise it stops working , lol

only had it a few months and its allready scratched around the strap

 

I have A Rolex Yacht Master. I wear it all the time. From Work to Painting to the swimming pool.

 

Define expensive.

I don't know if it qualifies as expensive, but I wear a Krug-Baumen Sportsmaster Diamond every day.

 

Aye , Del Trotter's got nowt on me

 

Cartier Santos.... never taken off unles I am doing DIY and even then quite often stays on until I remember to take it off...

As far as I'm concerned a watch is meant to be worn!

as per rqv_stu, everyday. originally wanted to use it for weekends that sort of thing but if I didnt wear if for 48hrs it'd stop so its on all the time unless Im washing up, doing something with the car or sleeping

 

All the time.
The only times I don't is when showering, sleeping, swimming or skiing.

 

Never take my Omega Seamaster off. Ever.

Cheers

Only take Rolex off for bed.... a good watch is very hard to damage, I find, sapphire crystal etc. and they generally remove paint and crap from the bracelet and clean it up when it's serviced....

 

Rolex GMT2 6 months old, always on. Only coming off when the full size yacht master bi metal arrives (whenever that will be 6 months and waiting)

 

Bi Metal Yacht Master.... Got any photos of it ? Didnt know they were making one

 

If he is referring to the Rolesor ( 18k/ss ) TT then it has been announced but hasn't started shipping yet ( in full size , laides and mid have been around for a while ), IMO the rolesium ( ss/pt ) looks much much better

 

No pics. It's the same design as the mid size apparently but will be full size. Gold/ss and I've ordered a white face.

Edit. Just called Goldsmiths and apparently I'll get the first one as I was first to have a deposit it. Prob another 3 month wait.

 

Cost ?

 

£4250 I *think*, will have to dig the receipt out, might be a little cheaper. She said there was a 5 year wait for a Daytona and their books are closed

 

I paid £150 for my Seiko and thought I was spending a lot

Seriously though, why would you pay that much for a watch and never use it?

 

Yes Goldsmiths closed the orders on Daytona's ..........


Can you PM me a picture when you get it !

 

Scared of losing it/getting mugged.

It will be getting used from now on.
