So then this is a new low for me according to the wife at least!
Not sure if anyone cares/remembers, but a year ago I finally got a tag microtimer of which I had been trying to find a good example of for about 5 years. I have quite a few nice watches but for me this one is special as represents financial security again for me after a bit of a low patch. As such I find myself wearing this watch pretty much all the time to the point of its part of my getting dressed routine. The example I have is absolutely mint but am worried about it getting damaged, so am considering getting another so that it can be worn constantly leaving the current one for best. Have been offered a non pristine one from a source I know for just £600
Any thoughts appreciated as to pros and cons as struggling for decision and will probably need to decide soon to get it.

Thanks for reading my ramblings and have a good day.

Will it sell to someone else for a similar amount? If so then you can buy it risk free, giving you the opportunity to buy it, try it and still get out if it turns out to be the wrong choice.

If you really like the watch and yours is mint, then Id understamd. I cant speak for your wife though.....

My guess is I could move the second one on fairly easily for £600 as now going for around £1k in good condition. It's a mates watch and only thing wrong with it is that it is fairly heavily scratched which shows up a lot due to how polished the case is, but also this is the reason I'm keen as could wear it without being bothered about further scratches. I do have a reputation for buying similar watches have 2 sets of identical g-shock watches in different colours plus 2 submarinas one black bezel, one green.
It's just a question of will I enjoy wearing the second watch as much as the first due to what it represents.

Not sure getting them to fight is going to get the results the OPer wants.
