Icon10 Daily driver with full gold RL?

Hi All,

I'm saving up for a full gold DD or a full gold Sub. A couple of weeks ago, my coworker showed me his new full gold GMT. He only wears it a maximum of one day a week (Fridays, and sometimes not at all). I asked him why, and he said gold is soft, very scratchable, and can lose its value if scratched.

I want to wear a full gold watch daily, but his comment made me think twice. I'm currently wearing my SS Datejust and don't really care if it gets beat up. However, I'm not a multi-millionaire who can afford to ignore the potential loss of value from scratches on a high-end watch (I don't mind my SS DJ because it's much cheaper).

Is anyone else in the same boat? What do you do?

P.S.: I banged my watch on the table in front of him, telling him why not buy a cheaper SS version to enjoy daily, when he stopped by making fun of me by asking what time it was :)
