Looks great! You wore it as intended, and didn't keep it in a safe.

Amazing! I just got my sub a week ago, and it hasn’t left my wrist (I have a 10 watch collection). Can’t wait to post similar pics in the years to follow!

My Submariner after 21 years. Serviced once, but not polished.



I haven't seen the need to damage it.

That looks fantastic. Maybe Rolex should change their gold from highly polished to a satin finish to begin with.

This is the horological equivalent of popping a zit after all the posts about mirror finishes.

I think it also adds a cool factor if you have an expensive watch and it has seen the life and is somewhat beaten up. It says something about the wearer as well.
Fully agree - do with your possessions what you want, but given the omnipresent sentiment that "watches are investments, and investments only", it is quite refreshing to see this.

I think the ultimate level of not giving a f*** is buying a Hublot at retail, despite knowing what happens to the value - I have come to respect those people more and more haha

Ooerr, yours makes my 2 year old sibling look almost pristine, mine is worn on rotation as part of my 7 watch collection so doesn't get worn all the time, is yours a daily wear? Either way it looks great. Congratulations.

Totally agree, just want to add that buying any watch shouldn't be based on retained value, but on whether you like the watch.

Yes, it’s nice to see a watch that’s worn………But, how many of the people here who are saying how wonderful it looks would actually go out and buy one in that condition for themselves ?

A dealer would find it a hard sell in that condition and would undoubtedly need have it polished before it goes in the window.

My Submariner after 6yrs.
Here’s a 1982 DD that’s been polished more than once. I have other watches but almost exclusively wear this one.

It goes water skiing, running, stays on when I do yard work and tinker with my bikes and cars.

Now will someone please validate my feelings that I’m doing it right?
