At the car wash
Wearing my white dial ceramic Daytona while wiping down my car at the car wash yesterday, another WIS approached me and said he couldn’t believe I was wearing the watch at the car wash. He was wearing a digital or something but this watch was his grail... I told him, I’m a senior citizen and trying to enjoy my collection at every opportunity. Obviously I take care of my watches, this one is 3 years old now and looks like I just unboxed it. Moral of the story, life is short, get out there and wear those suckers and enjoy yourself!!!

My 2 tone Daytona has been all over the world with me and was my first Rolex and >10K watch almost 10 years ago. It could probable stand to be polished but it makes me smile. I wore it when I met my fiance', I wore it when I saw Sting and Peter Gabriel, I wore it to 5 daddy daughter dances, I wore it when I took delivery of my Porsche 911 5 years ago, etc. It becomes less and less about the watch and more and more about the time capsule of memories. |

Whatever! We know you're just the towel boy at the car wash, who jacked the owners Daytona!
LoL. JK Great words. I've been babying my Pepsi ever since I got it a couple months ago. Awesome pic and thanks for sharing some words of wisdom w/ us! (I'm always envious of the previous, "1 watch", me. Now those watches have tons of battle scars). |

I’d be too worried about accidentally scratching the car to wear any watch while washing it.

I know a lot of us are very protective of our watches and our cars but there’s an old saying, “might as well enjoy them because the next guy will!” Besides, this was a new automated car wash, I merely wiped a few drops off here and there. My cars look as good as my watches, no scratches

I don’t see many seniors driving a Porsche. Ha ha. My 70 year-old father drives a CPO 2017 Lexus ES.
COOL car and watch. |

Gary,
Gorgeous Daytona and ride as well first of all but most importantly GREAT attitude!!!!! I always tell my young boys to enjoy themselves each day as much as possible and probably why I wear my SD43 even when taking out the garbage or like this morning when I went to Loew's!!!! Why not enjoy these things when we're here since we know its impossible to enjoy once we're gone?!?!? Have a great day which I know you will!! |

People can be so serious! Oy!
I always wear my Daytona when washing my car. Looks so good in the sun, and they are two of my favorite purchases ever, so why not enjoy them at the same time. I wear my watch doing most things, but admit I have never taken my car to an automatic car wash. Closest ever was when I lived in an apartment and would take it to one of those spray-it-yourself manual car washes because I didn't have a driveway. But to each his own.  And beautiful watch!

The more shocking fact is.. Daytona and a Porsche and the guy still dries his own car at 70!

No point in buying them if you are not going to wear them.
Enjoy... |
