If I Own Them, Then I Wear Them
In Response To: Wear them with pride ()


We all have our own styles, in terms of collecting / investing / storing / wearing, and different things that make us happy. Some folks may be happiest having their precious watches locked away in the vault, with the reminder being a list of the watches, their characteristics and their values, etc.

Personally, I will not own a watch that I am unwilling to wear, so no matter how delicate or precious, if I own it, then I will wear it. [For example, see the three below.] I should add that five days per week, I am in wearing a suit (or business casual) with a long sleeve shirt (that covers the watch), and am in a climate-controlled, quiet office environment. It might be different if I were working on an offshore oil platform or on a construction site.

Congratulations on these acquisitions . . . amazing to see these three Monacos, with different colours, movements, etc. So enjoy them every day!!
