Does a precious metal Rolex ruin your appreciation of SS Rolex?

[Stan Cooper]

No; I'd look silly wearing anything that's colored gold. White gold or platinum, maybe, but SS is a harder material that won't ding as easily as PMs. I retired in 2003 after wearing suits and ties for most of my career, and now stick to t-shirts, Levis, and sandals or topsiders. I have one remaining navy blue suit for wearing at weddings and funerals.
