I plan on buying a cheaper Tag Hauer when I go back down to have something to wear 24/7 and then get the scratches fixed on this one. I’d prolly also go with a rubber strap over the stainless just so I don’t scratch it much. As anyone who has seen me since late April will tell you, I wear the Omega all of the time. It has normal wear and tear for a watch that gets worn in the situations I wear it in. The only time I take it off is for sleep or shower. **Sometimes when I take a shit too, but that’s not something I can explain.** > > I don’t care for something flashy, I just like something that works and will retain it’s value. For what it’s worth, I had the watch appraised at $5500 and I paid over $1k less than that. As Justin said, a good watch will either hold it’s value, or gain value. Dude I thought I was the only one in the world who did this. :thumbup --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/watches/237295)._
