For many years, my grail watch has been a gold Rolex Day-Date. Now I could finally afford it - but I realize it’s really not very practical for everyday wear. I’d probably end up wearing it once every week or two when going out for dinner or something, but otherwise not at all.
So now another idea would be to get my second favorite watch first, an AP Royal. And then get the Rolex later as a second watch. Sure, professional thieves would still recognize it, but otherwise it’s much more under the radar than a gold watch.
What do you think about such “compromises”?
