Using nail polish is crazy. Everyone knows Elmers glue works better. 😉
And some people know to apply said glue while the watch is not being worn.

....until it rains. 😲

Good to see another TZ old timer who remembers that insanity! 😜

And what do we do when that happens? I seem to recall you had come up with a viable solution, but I can't find it

I am looking to getting a limited/special edition Speedy like a 60th or a CK2998. However, despite loving the design and aesthetic and movement, I am wondering if I will be too scared to wear it. I wouldn't want to damage or chip.

Another issue is its value. Wearing it will lower value, but I guess why have it and not wear? Should I get a regular Speedy Pro (which I also love, so no real compromise)?

Is it worth getting something like CK2998 or a 60th and not enjoy it properly?
Are they more of an investment than a timepiece?

Thanks
Any watch should be for enjoyment first and investment 2nd IMO

I had almost the same dilemma. I had an itch for a 60th, (that brought me here last year). Then I got to thinking, how much fun would a)i get out of one watch, albeit the one I had lusted after, but get the sweats on when wearing it or b) split the pot and go for something I could horse trade later and something else.
Anyhoo, exhibit A, my Speedy Pro. Worn everyday even while doing dumb things.
