I put away all the Rolex

[BK_Verbs]

I bought a $53 G Shock on Amazon and will be rocking this for the foreseeable future. I don’t feel right wearing a luxury watch considering the numbers of people about to be in dire straights.

No judgement on anyone. Maybe I’m too self conscious, but I don’t need to walk around with a car on my wrist at the moment.

YMMV

Well put. Thank you for your empathy. This is not the time to flaunt wealth when so many of our fellow citizens are in so much suffering. I don't know anyone who hasn't been materially negatively affected by this pandemic.

I'm sorry but I have a watch and I'll wear it. I Never bought it to flaunt it. It's something I am proud to wear and a reminder of my goals in life.

Yep, picked one up myself and it seems rather appropriate for these times!

The right approach

[BillA]

I posted a similar post on a Diamond enthusiast website and got my arse handed to me.
I wear my 16570 around the house, it gives me some pleasure and lift of spirit.
Not to get off topic, I have a son who lives alone on the west coast and another son who is a Dr. in a hospital, being very stressed now. So any little pleasure, I have to take and enjoy for short spurts. OP, but I agree and understand your position.

I’m not surprised - it’s a ridiculous thing for you and the OP to say in my opinion. So I assume you’re going to sell the big house you may live in and the nice car you may own as well are you? Or, if you can’t sell them because of the current climate, walk everywhere and sleep in your shed.

Agreed. Why subject yourself to needless scrutiny during these difficult times. Good thing Rolex is for the most part the only watch brand with that kind of social awareness. I think you could wear a Patek, JLC, etc without issue.

I'm working from home until further notice, so I'll wear my Rolex's.

Very few people I run into even know what a Rolex is, and most of those that do already have one.

I respect the OPs decision to put his/her away, but I am not changing my watch wearing habits unless I start to get concerned about crime increasing.

I tend to agree and while these are certainly hard times, and can respect the OP position but this can easily apply at any point. If one looks around the times have been hard for many many people in the US and around the world for a very long time.

100% agree!

Well it's a matter of choice. when do you think this war will end to start wearing luxury watches again.

[watchmework]

Okay...enjoy the Gshock

If you want to make a difference go give blood. Not wearing a Rolex isn't making an impact on anyone.

Regardless, enjoy and good luck.

I tend to agree with this. I respect the practice of not wearing a Rolex and the empathy during these times tho. I’m only wearing mine around the house cuz I don’t go out anyway. If I were to go out I’d prob still wear it. Stainless steel, not flashy, no one knows

Cheers

Or sell your watches and donate the funds.

The fact that you are hiding your wealth isn't helping anyone but I am glad you feel better because that is what this world is all about.

Sounds like a kneejerk reaction to what is in front of our faces at the moment. There are people dying every day before this - how could you wear a Rolex then? Do what you feel you need to, but donating time or money would impress more people and actually do someone some good beside yourself.

You say that but I used to give blood at least once every 2 months until I got banned because there’s some quirky rule that if you lived in the UK during the late 80s you could carry mad cow disease...no joke...I’m banned...

That's pretty much what I'm thinking.

Another thought: in quarantine, how much is the world exposed to what watch you're wearing?

The world isn’t Larry, but I’m not sure I want my SD exposed to the teeth on this girl

Plus this one is more useful in a zombie apocalypse

Keep safe my friend

Been Spearheading an initiative through work to provide post covid blood with antibodies for a local hospital.
