It shouldn't but it does especially with the PP and AP bezels. I get even more careful than usual or will sometimes switch to less expensive watches based on the anticipated activities.

No
I am careful with everything that I own. Additionally the watches are insured and I have camera equipment that is far more expensive than some of my watches and I use them as well. It is all about awareness

Yes, my wrist becomes shrouded in an invisible cloud of bubble wrap as I walk about.

Some of your PM cost more than your SS Patek..... No matter if the value is sky rocket, I keep all watches with the love and the care it deserves....

In fact, I paid more for all of my PMs than my 5711. I think my issue is with the value being significantly higher than the retail. I have no qualms about beating up watches with values around retail. My enjoyment seems to decrease inversely to an increase in value.

For a regular production watch, I don't know if regular wear and tear makes a difference, whether the current resale value is higher than MSRP.
However for LE watches and discontinued watches produced in small numbers, I can see them being safe queens to preserve that "like new" or "mint" status for future resale. |
