I wear my Tridor DD almost everyday, and have done so for the last 21 years. As long as the bracelet is NOT worn loosely, and you keep it clean, you should be good to go.

Here is a picture of my YG Day Date next to my brand new Gold Bluesy.

The DD40 I've been wearing 3-4 times per week for 2 years. It still looks BRAND SPANKING NEW.

Maybe I'm the only one here who feels this way but as a 31 year old middle manager at a large company I would feel wrong going to work wearing something so ostentatious when even the C-suite aren't wearing anything flashy. I think I wouldn't be comfortable doing that until I'd "made it" to a very high level.

Outside of work though I'd rock that everywhere :)

Well, actually the head of my department has a WG Pepsi, but I'm probably the only one who knows it's that it's gold :)

Why? I'm not at C-suite level but I present to them ALL the time. I make more money than them outside of work with my online businesses and my real estate/shares investments.

Just because they are c-suite doesnt mean anything in this world. Do you know how many CTO/CIO/CEO i've done presentations to and been in big meetings with that have ZERO idea on what they are doing. They only got there by sucking up or because they are best mates with someone in power. They should not be in that position at all and I'm talking big multinationals that most of you guys would have heard of. Its laughable actually.

Just because you a CxX position means NOTHING!!!!. They are just people.

I feel like you're about to tell me how I can make $5000 a week by working from home.

I'm not saying any of those people deserve anything and I'm not going to comment on whether or not I think they're good at their jobs. But as someone who has to answer to them I do care about my own optics.

Ostentatious and "made it" are subjective. The Day-Date is not just a watch, it's a state of mind. At the end of the day wear what you're comfortable and confident with and amazingly people conform to you.

I feel lucky that I don’t know what the C-Suite is
If you can afford it and like it then case closed to me

There’s a hodinkee article- shows that gold watches have antimicrobial properties.

https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/in...bial-ecosystem

So given the ongoing pandemic, I think it’s in the best interest for your health to daily wear gold.

Beautiful photograph that truly is the golden hour. It is amazing how much they change under the light.

None of the dealers photos do them justice

Doesn't work that way in the US. I work for a Fortune 15 company and the execs couldn't care less what watch somebody has on, they don't even notice. Most of our c-levels are wearing Apple watches...

"Earning" a watch doesn't make any sense to me. If that's what you want, and you have the money - buy it and wear it. Why would you care what anyone else thinks - it's your wrist & your money...

Yes. They hold up fine. In fact I had a 1803 for at least 20 years and wore it 24/7. It got traded off to someone back in 2014, but I'd still be wearing it today otherwise.

On the dd40, the screw holes are ceramic lined, isn’t that to stop the stretch?

Just fine for every day wear. I wouldn't work on my car with it on and such. But for social events and desk work. No problem.

Remember, nobody notices the watch but you and nobody cares. You guys are definitely overthinking it. I wear my dd40 yellow everyday.
