Great watches, but kind of a waste if you ask me. Watches are ment to be worn and enjoyed no matter how rare. I full overhaul and they are as good as new. I dont care if I had a LE 1of1 I'm still wearing it.



yeah in most cases where a watch is 50k and under wearing it as a daily and sending it in for an overhaul would be no big deal. some of these watches are museum pieces. especially those pateks. i dont think the "tool watch" mentality could apply to some of those pieces.


I see what your saying. I'm not saying wear them every day, maybe once in a while and be carefull.

This guy was probably part of that watch group . . . but at least he has better taste in jackets. Fast forward to the 2:00 mark if you want to skip the car stuff in the beginning.
