If it's already ticking, with the time correctly set, it's a strong candidate for the day's wear. So I tend to wear the same watch two or more days in a row. If nothing's wound up, the one that's easiest to set correctly. Thus, a stopped one with the the date wheel closest to today's has an edge. No

I have the exact same Duoface and the strap it came with looks like that. (Btw, I think you have impeccable taste! Heh heh) You’ve just inspired me to dig mine up—I don’t recall having had it on my wrist in 2022! So thanks for posting yours. Incidentally, do you think there’s something not quite rig
