I hope this works. I think I'm replying to either one person or all respondents.
Thank you to all for the warm welcome. I really appreciate it. And I very much like the content on this site.
I am 72, and have pared my watches down to only a few: the Aquanaut, a white gold sub aka Smurf, a Cartier Pasha 41mm, and a Seagull1963 mechanical chrono (I wanted to find the cheapest mechanical chrono on the planet). I just ordered a Corniche quartz hybrid (whatever that is) chrono in ALL ORANGE. It looks cool and if I don't like it the wife will wear it). My wife currently has a Rolex TT YM, an Hermes Cape Cod, and a Reverso Tribute Duo Moonface.
My cat knocked my Rolex off my dresser and while the movement was fine, the clasp bent. So it is at Rolex. And I agreed to a light polish (even the scratches had scratches). I mean, I figured that I'm old and will never sell it, so one light polish won't kill me. Or the watch.
As to bracelets, they are next to my watches for photos only, which I have told my Instagram followers. It is not just the scratches, but the jingle jangle (apologies to Bob Dylan) noise that drives me nuts. I actually wear them on the opposing wrist.
FYI, my watches (and the wife's) were frequently posted on my locutus49 Insta, with pocket knives, but this account is frozen due to identity issues. So I started and am slowly populating my new account: gatorloki49. Here it is if you want to check it out. If this is not legal, tell me and I'll delete: https://www.instagram.com/gatorloki49/?hl=en
I apologize for the lengthy missive, but I wanted to answer some of your questions.

Hey, need some advice...
Would it be appropriate, either on the PP subforum or somewhere else, to post of photo of me in Egypt, where we were a couple weeks ago? The reason is I wore this Aquanaut the entire 2 week trip all over Egypt without concern or problem, as many people ha...
A warm welcome to the Patek forum !
Lovely photo and the green sweater looks sharp ! Naturally your 5167 was the main event ! 👍 Look forward to seeing more of your collection.
Welcome here. Looking good (although I'm not sure I could stomach the metal-on-metal contact, assuming that's a metal bracelet).
But watches are made to be worn, so kudos for that
Help.
As I said, this is my first time posting. Is there a way to multi-quote people so I can do a single reply to multiple people? I can't figure it out.
Okay, no prob...
Every website/forum is different, and I'll try to learn this one as soon as possible. Thanks for the response.
Welcome!
I think you're doing pretty good for a first post! Some of us will cringe about the metal bracelet rubbing and hitting against the watch. But at the end of the day, that's totally you're decision! It's your watch! We're happy as long as you're enjoying it...

Geez, I didn't know...
geniuses were allowed on the internet. Virtually no one figures out even one of my names.
Thank you.
Although someone once told me it looked like a Hamilton Field Watch. But I like it.
