I love getting my shoes polished... not much to do but stare at your watch.

I hope they didn't over polish, and take off too much leather. Lovely SD Mike

What are your thoughts on the watch now that you have had it this long? Are you enjoying it? Is it a keeper?

Just another excuse to stare at your watch, I see right through you! That's why Dr. Tom took up racing Porsches; to keep his watch hand within view at all times. Great watch and picture.

I just leave my shoes until they need re-soling and they polish them during the service, just leave them be, and don't worry about them, it only adds character.

Nice watch. And shoes. It must be special to be getting your wrist time while having no precious metal.

But I thought it was better not to polish but just wait till you send the shoes off for servicing

As of right now, I still have the 114060, but it will definitely be a casualty...since I actually have 3 watches on order

I liked it very much when I tried it on so I suspect this will be the case I must say however, that there is a slim chance I may go a different direction when they arrive
