Hi All

Does anybody else feel the same about the LV that it is just too nice a watch to use as a beater?

I picked up the sub as my jeans and holiday watch but found myself looking for another watch to fulfill this purpose as I coudn't help but baby the rascal!

My mind wrestled with this and eventually I have decided to flip the LV for a watch I won't mind as a go anywhere and not worry about piece, I have found a good deal on an omega po ceramic and hope this fits the bill.

I also get enough cash back to take the wife and kiddy away for a nice break in the sun.

I figure if I miss the LV and the PO doesn't work out I can always swap back in the future (it'll cost me a few extra £££).

Sorry to all you LV lovers

I do have a tendency to baby my LV C Hulk, but when the going gets rough, that is what my GMTIIC is for!

Well if you baby the watch then flip it. IMHO that's nuts. It's a SS sports watch. Why are you afraid to wear it???

I love wearing mine way to much for them to sit or sell. Life is way to short.

Yep, you will be back. Never settle...

Heads mashed up guys! I know its a sports watch and its a tough bit of kit BUT I just can't bring myself to treat it bad!

I am not sure if it is because its a beauty or the price tag! I am sure I will get one back in the future but it will be in addition to a beater and not to be used as a beater.

That's ok John. At least you still have your GMT and aren't pulling a Dino (doh!).

I don't baby mine. Mine has scratches on the clasp and from rolling around in the Florida sand during a tactical exercise. Still looks as great as the day I got it.
