Cool or not cool??

I vote cool! But...I still can’t let myself allow my 5990 to get into this state! But then again, I’m not cool!!

The owner of the 5726 is Ed Sheeran, who’s Collection I’ve admired for some time. He’s just written an article on HODINKEE.

Thanks for sharing. This is one of my favourite references and happy to see this watch being enjoyed so much.

Fat_ninja · 13 November 2019, 01:24 AM

I think it’s cool when it’s on someone else

GSDLover · 13 November 2019, 01:39 AM

Cringe.
That watch should be given to me where it will be properly cared for.

Carlazzo · 13 November 2019, 01:46 AM

5726 (but 5726/1A-014 ) is my favorite watch, because I like steel bracelet. Just waiting to receive it.... one day....I hope. And I certainly will not treat it so badly

Ha, same here, I'd have that polished every year if I was gonna wear it like that.

MadSpaniard · 13 November 2019, 01:48 AM

I think it would be even more cool with less battering :-) Actually, I prefer battered jeans with a pristine watch. :-).

It’s like saying ugly chicks are cool... but on your arm not mine

Btw I have no issues with ugly chicks. Everyone needs love

italiafan · 13 November 2019, 02:13 AM

That wrist looks pretty battered too!

My 5726/1a-white dial has a million scratches, and the rounded center links on the outside bracelet have actually been worn to the point of smoothed edges....it has never ever been abused. I suspect the majority of its wear is from my wrist resting on a wooden desktop while writing and typing...pretty bizarre when you think about it. Do they source the softest steel in the world, or what!?

I guess my sons can worry about what it all means when I am worm food....

dbfagan · 13 November 2019, 04:48 AM

Very cool, assuming big Ed did all the scratching.

sensui · 13 November 2019, 05:20 AM

Everyone loves a new watch. But there's something attractive to me about natural wear/patina. If the price is right I'd certainly buy the watch and continue enjoying the **** out of it. Well done Ed.

DKM · 13 November 2019, 05:30 AM

its enjoyed and loved.

I don't think we can use ugly chicks here since ugly chicks never looked good but this broad at one point was a 10/10

Agree....^^^.......

And the best part it won't look any worst than it is.....

pam66 · 13 November 2019, 05:59 AM

Agree! To me it says “I have zero Fs to give”, in a very casual way. If I drove a Ferrari I would try to keep it clean, but I wouldn’t be the guy running around with an umbrella every time a bird flew overhead.

Props to him he is definitely getting his monies worth out of that timepiece daily.

GreenLantern · 13 November 2019, 09:37 AM

I wear the heck out of my watches, and they still never look like that.

Do people just bang their wrists all over the place?

Ichiran · 13 November 2019, 09:56 AM

By the way here is the link to the article: https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/a-...rom-ed-sheeran

Just realized he is married!

bruinmd · 13 November 2019, 10:06 AM

not cool.

I owned a 5726A, and the finishing is so complex/amazing on that watch, that seeing all those scratches-- especially on the strap-- just looks........wrong.

Now a Rolex Sub........that's a different story.

He should be more concerned about that rash.

GB-man · 13 November 2019, 11:51 AM

Cool for sure. When your tour grosses 736 million you can give zero fawks about a scratched watch.

cascavel · 13 November 2019, 06:12 PM

Scratches don't ruin the look of a watch, polishing does. Nice to see that some owners actually wear their Pateks.
