DayDate at the Beach?
Yes, I know it's a Rolex and it can be worn anywhere and I typically keep it on no matter what I'm doing...Now that that's out of the way, I'll ask -Has anyone worn their gold DD or gold anything to the beach? Family vacation coming up and I've grown so used to this DD40 on my wrist I just don't feel like wearing my Sub or anything else.Anyone wear their DD to the beach? The older satin finished DD definitely held the scratches better than these polished cases. I'm obviously worried about scratching it up badly, but at the same time, a gold Sub or GMT would scratch just the same.Thoughts?Anyone have any pics of a DD40 with some war wounds?
