Mary Anny's post highlights a common dilemma faced by luxury watch owners: the desire to accessorize versus the imperative to protect their timepieces. Her vivid example of a Rolex watch, prematurely aged by contact with a stone bracelet, serves as a cautionary tale. This discussion explores the practical implications of wristwear choices and the broader philosophy behind how collectors choose to adorn their wrists.
This watch is only a few-month old but it looks like it was made in the eighties!!! You know why?
Don't wear your precious watches too close to a stone bracelet!!!
Key Points from the Discussion
- Wearing multiple bracelets alongside a watch is a common trend that often leads to significant damage, a phenomenon many collectors observe with surprise.
- Some collectors prefer wearing numerous accessories, including bracelets and rings, while others prefer to wear only their watch, viewing additional jewelry as excessive or even detrimental.
- The preference for accessorizing watches, even with potentially damaging items like Pandora bracelets alongside Cartier watches, is a recurring observation among collectors.
- A previous WatchProSite article, '7 Sins in Handling Any Watch,' provides further guidance on proper watch care, reinforcing the importance of protecting timepieces from preventable damage.
