Who wears an expensive watch regardless

[harleywilma]

Just wondering how many of you wear your expensive watches regardless of what you are doing ,banging in nails,fixing the car ,painting the house etc etc etc. I am considering buying a Tudor Bay as an every day watch, I currently wear a seiko skx that I do everything in and It seems to be fairing well ,has a little nick here and a little scratch there but overall still in good nick and I don't care about It as its only a cheap watch.
My thinking is I have spent so many years cosseting things that I neglected to actually enjoy them for what they are,I have a mint 80s airking date thats in its box and I dont wear It as I do not like It that much so would sell as part towards the Tudor, I like the Rolex sub but dont fancy getting mugged for it either so It would be of interest to see how many people just wear there watches regardless.

Depends on what you class as expensive.

My TAG Carrera never leaves my wrist apart from when I’m asleep or in the gym/swimming.

Not sure whether I’d feel the same with a £10k Panerai though!

I guess Im talking between 2 and 5k

I wear my Daytona as often as possible, but for fixing helicopters I sensibly put on my G-Shock, and if it's a very tight space I'm in, I take that off. There's nothing macho about scratching a watch at work, for me.

I think Im more interested to hear about the wearer who doesn't care about scratches and wear, as I believe that is what years ago the manufacturers intended us to do .

I wore a Breitling Aerospace every day for 15 years and it fared better than the Tudor did over 3 years...

I prefer the look of the Tudor
Black bay as I like the classic style but It will get hammered all the same!

I’m a Rolex fanboy, so there’s always one type or other on my wrist everyday regardless of where I am or what I’m doing, so scratches and dings are inevitable. They then get serviced and cleaned up by Rolex every now and then and come back like new.

I like your style,
definitely my exact intention,.

Every day whether I want to or not.
You can’t tell the time if it’s shut in a drawer.
(Although It’s currently with Variomatic for some Well needed TLC)

Nice Patina, saw a 1950s gmt on antiques roadshow sunday, ragged to buggery, they still valued It at 12k though..

Cringe.

And people wonder why everyone says the watch forum is infected with bellends.

Double cringe and totally agree ...
