This article delves into the community's nuanced perspectives on owning and wearing such a distinctive timepiece.

Key Points from the Discussion

Despite ordering an 'Ed White' Speedmaster, the author found himself deeply tempted by the Sedna Gold version, acknowledging its exceptional attractiveness.
The primary hesitation for Dr No in acquiring the Sedna Gold Speedmaster was its perceived status as a 'safe queen,' suitable only for special occasions that rarely arise in his lifestyle.
Another collector, MTR, initially shied away from colored gold watches but has since overcome this 'shyness' after positive experiences with other rose gold timepieces, now placing the Sedna Gold Speedmaster on their wish list.
Subexplorer, who owns the Moonshine Speedmaster, echoes the sentiment that precious metal Speedmasters, while beautiful, are not as wearable as steel versions, especially in regions with security concerns, often relegating them to collection pieces.
Dr No further elaborates on his preference for more wearable watches for daily activities, even in less reputable establishments, contrasting this with the Sedna Gold's vulnerability.
MTR challenges the notion of strict 'rules' for watch ownership, arguing that many 'tool watches' are not used for their intended function, and that personal enjoyment and diversity should outweigh practical considerations.

Not to the pool hall, perhaps. Nor the bars on Sunset. That’s my problem too with colored gold watches. Beautiful but too eye catching.
