would it be a bad idea to wear one on a date? I probably would wear a lower less formal one.

Anyone care to share experiences? I had a date comment on my watch, and imagine everyone looks but might not say anything?

Would it be wiser to wear the timex?

Not having a Rolex on to me is like not having one of my shoes on.

Just don't wash your watch and have your date see you doing it before you leave....

I still have nightmares about that night....

oh boy...I still remember that !!! Have you seen that loser chick again ??

Sure, why not. Don't flaunt it by wearing one of those dress shirts with the cut-out in the sleeve so it shows at all times, but wear it as you normally would.

I dont want to sound like a jerk but wht the hell not??? What is is the reason you have the watch in the 1st place? To sit on your dresser? I find it funny when people on here ask "is it ok to wear it"

THATS THE POINT of having it...

Again sorry to be rude but really???

No, ... You do not understand. There was a (now-removed) thread about my date one night that caused quite a... stir. It was about a year or so ago and dealt with her seeing me washing my watch before we left for the evening. It was very funny (as long as you weren't me). If you did not see it you would not understand what I was talking about.... Those who did, it brings back a laugh. Me, it gives me nightmares.

Sorry haydendillon, you weren't here when all this came about so you wouldn't understand the inside joke.

You obviously didn't look at the details of this thread, e.g. the collection that the OP is having. It makes for a fair question.

Personally I am happily and faithfully married, and intend to stay that way, but view a first date as a job interview, showing up with a Deepsea or in the OP case, a 18K Meteorite dial with diamonds, will certainly send a message. I personally would never wear either of those to a job interview.

To the OP: as Robert De Niro famously said in the movie Ronin: "When there is doubt, there is no doubt." Unless you are trying to impress some cougar gold-digger, I'd stay away from 18K diamond watches.

Nice. My only takeaway line from Ronin was, "Le patron va controlle l'argent." Hah. Great movie.

Would you wear only one shoe on a date?

If you don't make a big deal of your watch, then I'm sure your date wouldn't either.
