To use or not to use, that’s the question?

If you were gifted these two to celebrate amazing occasions but they just sit in the safe. Should you bust it out and use it or save them for a rainy day?

Good lord what was the occasion? Nobody got me anything!

·

Watches are meant to be worn & appreciated

Definitely wear them

·

i’d wear em

could die tomoro, would be a shame not to enjoy them

·

Just wear em mate life is too pissing short as it is. Enjoy your gifts and make the most of them. You’re lucky AF! 🤣

·

Wear them? Have you gone mad?

I'd lock them up in a safe forever, to preserve them for future generations.

Wear

·

Wear the watches. It looks like you have multiple other Rolex watches you are wearing, so why not these?

·

Send them to me. I'll make sure they got worn regularly.😎

·

There are some watch collectors who take a scholarly approach and have unworn watches in their collection. The idea is to have a high end watch be seen by watch lovers and historians and what the watch looked like brand new. Having said that, I lean toward wearing them whenever you feel the desire. No right or wrong answer. The hobby is yours and yours alone.

·

I'll play devil's advocate and say encase them in resin but in bubbles so you can retrieve them for that rainy day.

·

Not my style. Unless someone near and dear would notice and object, liquidate.

·

Depends on occasion and gifter. Likely permanent to collection and wear. Not putting it on the wrist is an insult to the intention, otherwise they’d have given cash. Plus, sentiment is the value… whether a Duro or a Daytona, you’re wearing a part of them

I thought he was talking about a condom.

·

It's me. I'm Rainy Day. Thanks.

·

Wear them at work, and tell your boss that his watch looks good for something easily affordable. 😉

Safety and Security sometimes

Ah, I guess I understand if you live in a high target city. I live in a major city and wear mine daily. Hope you get to enjoy or sell them and buy something you will wear!

·

Thanks everyone for your comments, you’d be glad to know the queens in question are out of the safe ok getting time out.

·

I would probably sell the GMT Master if it was on an oyster bracelet because I like the jubilee better, but since it's on a jubilee 100% keep. I love the panda too and those are pretty hard to come by so keep them both for sure

Wear them if you it pleases you 🤷🏼

·

Sell, unless they are a gift from the wife then start wearing!

·

Sell and buy something more fairly priced that won't stop you from enjoying them. Invest the rest of the money. Watches in safes are a bad investment.

·

If you like them, wear them. Otherwise sell and buy something you'll enjoy or be comfortable wearing. Very simple.

Yes they are!!!

·

Big yes!! Especially the GMT Master!

·

I’d sell the Daytona and buy a used Miata to wear the GMT in.

·

Just wear them 👍🏻if they’re stored away in a safe all the time then you never get to enjoy them 😕
