Any AP Collectors with “Safe Queens”?
Interested to know whether any TRF members have stowed away special or sentimental AP models - e.g., fully stickered, barely worn, etc.
If so, what’s motivation behind doing so? Pass down, collectibility, future value? |

My only safe queens are vintage pieces that I know are impossible to replace in the condition I have them.
Otherwise, wear it like you stole it! Or something. Wear it like your life depends on it. Whatever.

Due to pandemic situation, I don’t wear my AP or Grand Seiko very often. I pull them out occasionally just to wear around the house, but just don’t have the business or pleasure occasions to wear them at this time.

Since March 2020, I am a safe queen.

No safe queens for me. Wearing the watch is actually the first criteria my pieces must meet in order to stay in the collection.

None here. I do not believe watches, except some vintage models, are an appropriate investment - at least for me. If a watch isn't worn for six months (I keep track), it is sold.

This doesn’t count for sure
 I could only fathom keeping a watch in the safe if it was genuinely irreplaceable
