I know you guys are big collectors.
For some reasons you might have the watch that never been worn.

For me, I never worn the watches with tritium because those hands might be cracked easily.

Please share your what is that one and why?

Thanks.

Why buy at all if one isn't going to wear it?

Fiddy · 2 December 2011, 09:42 AM

I know someone who buy it just want it to be in the collection and 50% of the collection never been worn.

Some buy it for investment purpose.

Are you referring to "Winder/Safe Queens", "Speculators", or "Collectors who put a watch on a Pedestal"?

Honestly, I would never own a watch that I would not wear. I suppose, if I had more money than god, I would consider owning a few pieces and treat them like art and simply display them.

+1 .. for me buying watches to wear it, feel the pride of it, not just to stare at it.

I buy them to wear them but there's always one or two that gets very little wrist time during the year.

dddrees · 2 December 2011, 11:33 AM

I've worn and will continue to wear all of mine. Some see less time than others, but I bought them to wear and to enjoy them.

RedBaronF2001 · 2 December 2011, 11:34 AM

I typically cycle through all of mine (6, currently) but there are two that I don't wear too often. I really should release these back into the wild.

toph · 2 December 2011, 11:47 AM

i always wear mine, if i find i dont wear one for a while, i sell it and get another one

cedargrove · 2 December 2011, 01:35 PM

I could never buy a watch and not wear it right away.

liptonnr · 2 December 2011, 02:40 PM

I personally believe that a watch should be worn! I could see an issue with frequency based on the style/$ aspect but I don't think I could ever just display one!

Pretty much like me, I don't have such a big collection so I rotate them often but some of them have less wrist time than others! This being said, I'd never buy a watch just to admire it, you need to do both in order to fully appreciate it!

Gotta wear those bad boys!!

I don't know if the "super" collecters post much on forums.

esm · 3 December 2011, 02:43 AM

I can not understand why people would bother to buy a watch and not wearing it..

It's like marry a beautiful woman and.... Meh, never mind.....

Italia64 · 3 December 2011, 10:15 AM

Just got a brand new Oyster Perpetual Datejust 18k WG delivered today after waiting for a while....unworn yet. :-)
But I'm thinking about selling it. It might be too nice for me to wear.
OK, call me crazy...

rfknauss · 3 December 2011, 10:18 AM

Only have two watches ....... both Rolex ....... wear one of them each and every day ..... a day without a Rolex on my wrist is like a day without sunshine!

InTime · 3 December 2011, 01:19 PM

whoever bought a bunch of the original milgauss's and didnt wear them are pretty wealthy today. those have gone up in price...

but then again, many watches like pateks have gone up too.

krzspeedstr · 3 December 2011, 05:51 PM

There are a few guys here that have anywhere from 30-100 Rolex watches and that is not counting their other ones. It's easy to not wear them all.
