Anyone with 18K watches used for daily office wear?
Thinking of consolidating my collection. Wondering if 18K watches stand up to daily office wear. If that's what you rock from 9 to 5, please chime in. Would also like your ideas for a watch that is:
- 18K - Rose gold - Preferably on a rubber strap

Then either boring 5167R or slightly less boring 5164R or exciting 116655 or slightly more exciting Blancpain Leman Grand Date Aqua Lung.

RG on a strap for daily wear makes the best option a 116655 but its pretty casual looking. Then there is the 5167/5164 R That bezel would make me nervous as a daily but probably better for an office environment as far as look as its more formal looking.
No bad choice but each have a negative. RG and black vs RG and brown... that has also got to be a factor as far as preference.

Ha - yeah you’re right. I guess we are fairly relaxed these days in my office I forget what it’s like elsewhere.

not a "daily" as I've only had it a few days....it came on a really nice calfskin strap, but the tropical climate and humidity + sweat here can be brutal, so that's gone in a box for now, and i kind of like the $10 nylon strap.....

Has to be the Aquanaut. Bet that would look doubly awesome on a brown croc strap. Perfect for the office
