Hey all,
Just wondering if any PP owners wear theirs for everyday use? Ie: work, gym, etc... Thanks for reading, Hans. |

The ony two lines I can see fitting that are nautilus and aquanaut. However if scratched up steel bezels irritate you, I'd look elsewhere

If you've got them...smoke 'em
 ...If I could save up for a PP Aquanaut in a reasonable amount of time (say 4 months max) I'd definitely wear it everyday  ...I am sure there are many PP owners who can pay an aquanaut with a week's savings.I'd never buy a PP and wear it everyday. Probably it would take me 2+ years of savings  ....I would not afford damaging it. So me, I just don't buy it in the first place  ...

I have worn a Patek in the past everyday for years.
Including models ranging from the basic Calatrava and Aquanaut unto the 5140 perpetual calendar. But you might get a better idea, if you have this thread/topic moved to the Patek forum :) Regards Tony

For me I wear my watches every day! Whether Patek, Lange, AP, JLC, or VC all is good and they were made to be worn. So my answer is yes of course!

I wear my 5167 everyday.
Remember, unlike automobiles, watches have no odometer. After 5 years, just take them in for a service and they come back looking like new. If you ever go to sell it, you will get no more money if you wore it once or for a year straight. The new buyer could care less if you never took it under water or went scuba diving at 50 feet. Wear whatever you like and ENJOY it! |

I would! Now all I need is a Patek...
 Wear your watch and enjoy it, that's what it has been made for!

Yes I wear mine in rotation everyday. Unfortunately I'm not going to live forever so I'm going to enjoy them while I can.

I'll wear either of my Pateks any day of the week, that's exactly what they are made for. However I don't even wear my Omega or Rolex while at the gym. But then again I never have wore any watch at the gym.

Aquanaut is a daily wearer.....no question about it. The Aquanaut Luce is a perfect daily wearer (quartz) for the wifey too...... ;)

I've worn this every day since I got it about a week or so ago.

I agree awesome photo Watcheroo!!!
I wear my Patek every day. But I wear all my watches every day. Remember you guys there is only one today........one day you will not be able to say tomorrow. Enjoy it all to 100% while you can. 5167 is the Patek for me. Its retro, its cool, its accurate, its subliminal, its the essence of sophistication.
