share?

How many of you allow family members to wear a piece from your collection? If you do, how do you feel about it (do you worry etc…)?

I would let my wife wear my Sub-c to work a few times, but she says it's too big.

Not a problem here

My wife has stolen my Explorer and today I noticed a scratch on the case that was not there before.

I told myself it can be polished out, no big deal, let it go, count to ten, take a breath, just let it go.

I don't worry about it, she is careful I think it got scratched because it was too loose on her wist it needs to be fitted better. She is the only person I will allow to wear my watches though.

My eldest son wears one of my DateJusts every now and then....special occaisions mostly I suppose but not always......he has his name on it (figuratively) as it will be his eventually, 21st birthday I would imagine......I don't worry when he wears it.....he cannot take his eyes off it and the smile it generates is worth a million dollars

Not a chance. Watches are like motorcycles - not meant to be shared

The only TT midsize dia DJ of mine had no more belong to me since last Monday, to my wife yet. What I have now just two damn Citizen quartz watches. But I will replace this empty shortly by Exp.2 black face.

Anyone in my family can wear any watch I own..

What bothers me is.... when they get "confiscated"...

My wife could use them if she liked to, but she says they are not feminine enough. Thank god!

She has her own Ladies Omega Seamaster.

I gave one to each of 4 sons, but I didn't ever loan one. I don't remember it ever coming up. Maybe they knew not to ask.

No chance on this end- with 4 teenagers in the house, it's hard enough to keep track of stuff!!

I wish my two sons would borrow my watches. Neither wear a watch, they use their cell to check for time. Both said when they're ready to wear a watch regularly they will let me know. Eldest and only daughter also do not wear a watch.

I'd let my wife wear mine is she wanted to, but i'm not proficient in removing links, and when my 4 year old sign is old enough and mature enough he can!
