For an iPhone use an app. Many to choose from.

Here’s one as an example: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/viewexif/id945320815

Or use TapaTalk hosting

I wear it every so often. So I guess it is a safe queen.

OP, I also can appreciate a good safe queen. Another place you’ll find quality examples and photos is in our Classifieds section (but you probably already know that).

Cheers.

Why buy a watch if you're never going to wear it ?

1680 Sub(my first when I was 15) After getting it serviced, it was placed in my safe.
Flat four 16610LV but is in the FS section.

All others in my collection are used and rotated.

God bless those who buy them new, never size them, never wear them, never wind them. I'll never understand it.

I got a new Batman and I have a Sub to wear. I’m not sure yet what to do with the GMT. Wear it, keep it or use it to get a Daytona

I bought this new in Oct 2007. It has a few small hairlines on the PCLs here and there but it’s basically perfect.




I wear it but I’m careful. My D-Blue is perfect too but a lot newer.

My 1680 and 16660 are NOT safe queens and have decades of patina on the metal.
