Probably the nicest NATO I own. Hasn't frayed at all, softened up well without getting too permanently creased, long enough to tuck back through both keepers. It dries quickly as well.

Originally posted by Doug Chalkey View PostI suppose it's a variety of reasons. Its by far the nicest watch, most expensive I own and I almost never wear black. I'm a bit slavish to watch/shoe combinations and haven't picked out a different band. It's borderline too bug although I think it looks good in the photo I posted. Maybe I'm self conscious? Not sure. I should look to rotate it in more frequently. Any suggestions to do that?
Originally posted by idvsego View PostThat is pretty much my logic. I don't buy something if I don't have the budget to replace it in a reasonable amount of time. But with watches, some people just don't like it to show wear. I have seen people get worked up about a bezel nick on a & 40 casio.

I find that I get in to a 'rut' and I'll wear the same watch for a week solid. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing. I obviously like the watch. But then I'll look in the watch box and see other watches there and think "geeze, I need to start wearing these other watches more". So yeah, welcome to the world of watch rotation.
I agree with this sentiment too. Would I be bummed if I scratched one of my watches? Definitely. But would it stop me from wearing it? Nope. I see watches are items to be worn, not set aside for fear of loss or use. Now if I had the cake to purchase the Paul Newman Daytona ($17 mil anyone?) I'd have a huge internal debate. To wear the watch or not. Although at this moment in time, I'm leaning more towards wear than preserve.
I believe in driving classic cars too but if I had Carrol Shelby's first ever Shelby Mustang, I wouldn't drive it either. at some point some things move into the museum category. If you can go to the store and get another one with the same heritage, it isnt there.

I really like that shade of green, nice pickup Ben! I had no idea the ocean one was even being made in a smaller size now. The size was one of the major issues keeping me from purchasing... and now I see that there is a white MoP dial variant. Guess I’ll add that to the “someone please buy me this” list.
More on topic. Casual day of jeans and an OCBD so I went with my Alpinist. Too lazy to correct the date right now.

I can see having a watch that I don't really wear. I have knives I don't carry, guns I don't shoot. I think some of it depends on your pocketbook and what the relative values mean to you. There are a lot of people with cars they don't drive.
