Cen, I stopped changing dates on my watches long ago..
....my weekend Inge is reading the 27th. I figure its almost right so why bother changing.

I change my wedding band to match the watch
My particular watch craziness - My wedding set is platinum, but I have my late mother in law's gold band and on the infrequent occasions the watch is not stainless, white gold or silver I wear that instead. Otherwise my rules are the usual - form, occasio...
How I pick one of sixty ...
I have helped my indecision by arranging the watches carefully in my cabinet. Swatches are on the top shelf. I have a dozen of them and never wear them. Easy. About 25 Swiss & German are on the middle shelf. Electronic & quartz on the left, automatics in ...
