I'm relativey new around here, but aren't we supposed to be posting photo's of actually wearing the watches on the day?
Some I notice they also don't match the same date as posting 馃檮馃槈

Perhaps you have never had a watch without quick-set date.

Those are some great questions!

Sometimes changing the date on a vintage watch before wearing isn鈥檛 practical. It鈥檚 one of the reasons I prefer owning/wearing vintage that don鈥檛 have the date feature.

Personally, I rarely change the date on my date watches because if I did that every day, there is some extra wear that occurs by doing so, but if I鈥檓 going to wear it all day, I might go ahead and do it anyway.

As for actually wearing the watch, I have to agree with you, the thread is for wanting to know what are you actually wearing. I like to give people the benefit of the doubt, and assume that they are just taking a picture before actually placing it on their wrist.... 馃槖..

Ha! Good observation!

I do indeed set my watches shown on this WRUW thread- including moonphase and other complications. I鈥檓 truly wearing it !
Perhaps I鈥檓 a bit OCD in that regard? 馃槜

However, I still enjoy seeing the broad range of visual treats seen here regardless of day/date setting.

I鈥檓 not sure any mechanical wear of setting a day/date on a watch is of consequence to the life of that watch when worn in any reasonable rotation.

This certainly should be true of a new watch; I've had some not so good luck with crowns and the turning mechanisms on a number of 50+ yo vintage, so I just avoid on those if I can.

Shouldn't be an issue on a recently serviced watch, either, but I have a wait-list on watches for service 馃檮...

I think you can post what you want to post, at least I hope that is the case.....

It's nice to think that the watch being viewed is the member's choice for the day, however I'm certainly not going to avert my eyes from a nice watch photograph that looks suspiciously like a pretense of WRUW'ing. If someone takes the trouble to post a watch photograph then I'm gonna have a look.

Just learned the color of the strap is called spitfire. I really like it, colorful but also classy, especially on the classic size!

I am wearing an early Calibre 11 Chrono-matic. It shows whatever date it wants to.



It's my lucky day Calibre 11-wise. The 17 is centered in the window. 馃憤

Like!

If ever I am lucky and wealthy enough to buy a Tin-tin it will go on a polka-dot Nato, just to upset the Nato haters.

I think I'd have to skip the red nails though 馃檨
