Do you ever feel bad

No, I never have had that experience. Love all my watches. Some just get more wrist time than others. They are all valued.

Enjoy that watch!

Cheers

No.

Yip, I avoid wearing my higher value watches in London

Absolutely not. Get them insured and wear the hell out of them. What I paid is just a number that's irrelevant to my enjoyment and appreciation.

Nope - wear them, otherwise what’s the point

I have considered the areas I live and travel through when I decide what watch to wear.

As to if that spoils the wearing experience, not so much because I live in relatively safe country and area.

When I travel internationally I wouldn't wear my more $$ pieces. I travel with watches that I can have peace of mind should any wayward misadventure occur

I rotate my watches regularly so this is not an issue. There are those Enthusiasts who will wear a nice watch to work on their car or get yard work done as an example. Some choose to wear their nicer watches when no heavy lifting is being done.

Depends on the person wearing the watch. Your green dial Rolex looks amazing. I would not wear that watch to the gym. They make G-schocks for those types of activities.

No. I’m probably an outlier in that I’ve never sold a watch that I bought. So that’s not part of the equation. I wear watches that usually are appropriate for the activities we are doing. So wear what you like. Period !

Nope. I wear my most expensive watches the most with no qualms.

Nothing that expensive to worry about.

Not really. For me it’s more that I realise I prefer wearing certain watches (regardless of price) and the thought sometimes creeps in on why I’ve spent more on those with higher “value”.

Absolutely not. The real value of that watch is how much you enjoy wearing it.

I actually wear my most expensive watches doing odd chores around my home including cooking dinners cleaning the front and back portion of my brownstone building. When I was still active in my profession, just grew weary of negativity from persons commenting about my watches. I wear my many watches for a single purpose: they give me joy. There was one guy who insisted his cheap quartz Festina was equal to any of my watches, that I was a fool for spending more than a paltry amount on a watch. No doubt, folks can wear whatever they feel comfortable with, no remarks from me.

The expensive watches will have pretty good re-finishing repair offerings from the manafucturer. No need to baby it.

Nope. Better you enjoy the watch than the person who'll buy it from you in pristine condition. Unless just owning the watch and not wearing it gives you pleasure. 😉

Never had an issue I enjoy my collection and rotating. If I’m going to a odd place just wear them with common sense and wisely.
