Is a watch ever to "perfect" to wear????

[Clay]

So you find that perfect, unworn, NOS watch.......

The seller is asking, and I think you would agree rightly so, a premium for this piece...(Cost is of course relative to ones own means)

You buy it.....

Do you dare wear it?????

If you do wear it, the bracelet will get scratched, and stretched, no way around that.

You might chip the crystal or put a nick in the case......

At the very least you'll get some small scratches here and there....

Remember now that you've just paid TOP DOLLAR for this example...

So now that's it's been worn, has the value decreased????

Now I know that these watches are all meant to be worn, used and enjoyed...Heck I wear my 1665 all the time, I swim with it, work with it, etc...

But is this a piece that's better left to a museum???

Just food for thought....
