Larrykelley11's observation about a neighbor wearing a Patek Philippe Aquanaut during yard work sparks a relatable debate among collectors: when is a watch too precious for manual labor? This discussion delves into the practicalities and philosophies of wearing luxury timepieces in everyday, potentially strenuous, situations. Larrykelley11's initial query invites the community to share their personal boundaries and justifications for protecting their prized possessions.

I was speaking with my neighbor today , while he was doing yard work. I noticed he was wearing his PP Aquanaut with the orange band. He owns a couple of Patek watches, likes them, but  Isn’t what I would call a watch guy.

Would you wear your nicest watch doing yard work?

I wouldn’t wear this for sure!




Not wearing this while gardening!!

But I’d never do such manual labor with a gorgeous royal oak. There, now my allegiances are clear to all 😁

including yard. Exceptions: I will not wear a vintage for a damaging job. I will not wear a watch when painting, simply because it's the only damage that will be really hard to clean w/o service.
