Seems like you already know how crazy you are. It’s a very beautiful watch.

Well, maybe I just want to keep this one perfectly new. Okay, it is a watch. But I think you don't have to wear every watch that you own.

Some people have cars that they will never drive.

It's a beautiful watch, but if not worn, I'd offload it. Personally I stopped collecting/attaching myself to "stuff" long ago and find myself much happier to have just a couple nice things that get used regularly and as they were intended to be used.

In other words, I Marie Kondo'd my life and am happier for having done so.

Remember, it's a tool to serve you, you don't serve it.

[B]The beautiful Rolex I never wear[B]

I had a Platona and wore it all the time.

They don’t rot, rust, bust, or run down the hill backwards…made to be worn…not a car!

It’s just not something you expect to hear unless it’s an “investment”…

Nice watch.

A car that never come outside, wil also stay in perfect condition, will not rust etc. You even can sit in it when ever you want and enjoy it :-)

It’s just unless it’s an “investment”…


Here you have a point I think

Since you asked, yes, you are

What is the purpose of having luxury items if you don't use them? Yes, I'm sure you get pleasure looking at it. But would most likely get even more pleasure by wearing it. Same for the car analogy.

You only live once. Live life as if there is no tomorrow. It would be a shame if you pass and you never treated yourself to wearing items such as this but rather chose to just look at them. It would be a shame in deed.

I want that exact watch but with the Fluted Bezel.
Why don't you wear it, that is nuts!
Watches are meant to be worn especially one that beautiful.
Most people in the wild will think you are simply wearing some SS watch and have NO clue!
