when do you wear your DD?

I just got my WG DD last week and I love it. I wear it pretty much any time I am not doing something too sporting, but was curious about others...do you save it for special occasions orwear it every day?

I just ordered my DD at my trusted AD in Belgium and am waiting for delivery.
It has to come from the motherland and have not received a date yet.
However, I am planning on wearing it a lot. But not while doing hand labor like garden work. Also not for playing with my 21 month old son. Too risky
But going out, around the house (when son is sleeping) , etc , sure will !

Can't wait to get it ! Exiting times.

Wore it today as I did the dishes, pots and pans from this morning's breakfast. I wear it pretty much every day, all day regardless of my activity. When it comes up in my rotation, that is.

I wear it to work frequently; but I also wear it when I'm off. No rules. Of course, I wouldn't wear it for too vigorous a sports activity since the clasp could open, but I even wear it jogging when I'm traveling and it's the only watch I have with me.

I used to wear mine everyday until I started adding to the collection. Day-Dates are great all around watches.



Congrats on yours and enjoy!

Rock mine once in a while, im pretty young and a lot of people ask why I'm wearing my grandpas watch. I think it is a great watch. I love throwing on some sweats and throwing that bad boy on my wrist.

Not a lover of any precious metal watches but if I had one it would be for wearing thats what it was bought for to wear and tell the time.

Whenever I feel like it. Shorts, suit, it doesn't matter.

If your friends think it is a grandpa's watch, get higher class friends!

Wore mine solidly for two years before getting me 16610, I seem to go through phases :-)

I'm starting to head towards the SS spots watches again now :-)

Not in the garage around tools (not Mike!)....not on my bike cycling....apart from that I wear it if I feel like it (which I do, often).....very robust watch but of course Gold marks easier than Stainless Steel.....

OK, I would wear mine on the higher celebration days ... if I could afford one.

So the 16613 LB would then be eyery day? I think not - I LOVE my 16710 Coke or Pepsi!
