·What do you do with this sort of time capsule? Be honest now.
To wear ... or not to wear

·Haha. That's a tough one because normally watches are meant to be worn. But for this one I would make a exception! Very special!

·That is, fundamentally, a question only you can answer.
I’d wear it. Life is short.

·If it brings you joy having it stay preserved, I see no problem that. Nothing wrong with having shelf objects.
Let me amend the term “shelf object” which implies dust catcher. In this case, it’s part of a static collection- like antique toys in the box or art. It’s something you prize and admire. It can bring just as much joy as having it on your wrist knowing it’s in your static collection.

Very hard to say. I think it's a very nice reference with appealing attributes, and desirable to knowledgable collectors (like an Alpinist with date). But it's not common in the US, so it may never be one of the famous models.

·Easy... Give it to me and free your mind of such tough decision!
PS: wear it... Like kids used to say, YOLO

·Beautiful watch, and I would wear it. That model won't appreciate in value, so it's not really an investment. Just don't go swimming with it until it is serviced 😁

·If it were in front of me I’d be sizing it up and be wearing it already but I respect those who think watches should be preserved for whatever reason they wish I’m just not one of them.

·I probably wouldn't have the heart to wear it. I would enjoy it more as a shelf queen. Watches in mint condition are dime a dozen but true time capsules like this one are rare.
Also, fυck this talk about investing and appreciating in value! (no offence to anyone in particular)

·I most probably couldn't bring myself to wear that one. It's a rare find and putting it on the wrist, it'll get mixed in with the others and become just a watch. Which it is. 😉

Unfortunately, I paid more than that. 😬
It's a new arrival I bought in a Japanese online auction. I just came across it while browsing listings.
