Will you wear it occasionally? Personally, with such a find I might be reluctant to wear outside (as opposed to just admiring it, safely).

Also, the story of this hidden treasure in an abandoned deposit box is part of the intrigue of this piece.

I am exactly of that mindset when i first got it I wore it a few times once to the mall and once to dinner

now I'm afraid to even open it or handle it I dont wanna scratch it or damage it

Yup, been there…but you have a good reason to be so overprotective with this rare beauty

Congrats on the watch but this is a joke right? You acquired a watch you have always wanted, your “Grail” and you are going to keep it wrapped up in plastic on a winder? Whats the point of that? You can’t take the watches or anything else with you….wear the hell out of that thing, live a little

Yeah before I sent it off to service I wore it and love it.

I have a very extensive collection I do try to give all my babies a little time but just to many watches and to few days in the week 😂
