When You Wear A Watch, Who Do You Wear It For?
When you wear a watch, do you wear it for yourselfOr do you wear it for everyone else? As an avid watch collector with a self-admitted wrist fetish, I am curious to know the varying answers to this question.Outside of my own watch-buying and watch-wearing behavior, I make this query because my company recently referred one of our customers to do business with a law firm which has represented us for over 20 years. At the initial meeting in the law firm's office, I couldn't help but notice the bling'd-out solid gold Rolex our customer (we'll call him Alan ) was wearing and had obviously forced over his shirt cuff. You know the one: red, white, and blue stones encrusted all the way around, and particularly popular amongst the baseball players - what with the matching bling'd-out bracelet for the other wrist. I wondered if Alan felt compelled to make sure all the major league players at this law firm noticed the junk on his wrist - and if so, why. What message was he trying to convey? One

116613 LB v. LN v. 114060 as an "all purpose" watch
Hi all,As background, I am an attorney who wears a suit 4-5 days a week and currently own the following luxury watches:1980s DateJust with a Jubilee dial on a black leather strap. I wear this with black dress shoes. IWC Regulateur on a brown leather strap. I wear this with brown dress shoes. I would like to add a third all purpose watch -- a watch I could wear for weekends, travel, and with a suit. Here are my thoughts on each of the three I listed above. 116613 LB: This may be my favorite looking Rolex. The issue, however, is I think it would look best with brown shoes, and I already gravitate towards my IWC when I wear brown shoes. 116613 LN: I also really like the look of this watch, and it is a bit more versatile than the LB. I do worry, however, that the two tone with the black dial would be a bit too formal for casual wear.114060: I am a huge fan of the no-date's symmetrical dial. It doesn't quite sing to me the way the LB does, but it may fulfill the all purpose quality t

Got me thinking..

Accidentally continued pulling out crown
My Rolex Submariner Date had used up its power reserve after not being used for 36-40 hours. Hence, the second, minute and hour hands were not moving. I opened the crown to adjust the time. Since the hands were not moving, I did not immediately notice that the crown was already pulled out to the outermost position for setting the time. Unfortunately, I continued to pull for a few seconds before realizing that the crown was already in the outermost position. Should I perhaps bring it to RSC to make sure there was no damage done from the pulling? Or is it safe to assume that if the crown is not wobbly or loose now, that it has not been needlessly dislodged?Thank you in advance for your advices.
