Anyone with 18K watches used for daily office wear?

[vman]

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

[fewwords]

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

yes...yes u can!

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.

Well, I don't know anything about a rubber strap. Simply not my style. 18K for office? I wore a Rolex day/date, everyday everywhere. I could have been jailed for abuse if cought by the watch police. Always looked great; it was hard to tell how dirty the bracelet was. Great watch, low to no maintenance. Nothing like my Breitling chronomat 44 GMT 2-tone. I'm practically a slave to this watch. Always cleaning the case and bracelet because the shinny surface dulls quickly.

Where do you work?

Everyday. I keep a cloth at my mouse where my wrist rests.

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

Yes, 18k wg Breguet Marine chrono on rubber
18k yg Marine big date on rubber

Also, FPJ offers a leather strap with a rubber under lining to protect from sweat in humid climates. I like.

^ Yeah not in my office... A few folks know about watches. I roll in with a RG Nautlius, won't be good.

Love the watch btw!

[asiparks]

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

I'd consider a Blancpain bathyscaphe on sailcloth.
