Do I wear these Monacos or not

Just thought I would share a few new additions to my collection. Thanks to Nic Green for selling me these fantastic watches which are even better in the flesh than I expected.

I did think long & hard about the PVD Monaco as I wasnt sure how much I liked it compared to the traditional colours. Having just received it I have to say its a fantastic watch & even better than I thought it would be. The bright red/orange hands really stand out against the black surface.

The down side is the price & a wife non to happy her shopping trips are curtailed.

The big question is do I now risk wearing the PVD or keep it locked in a safe? I think my view is that watches are for wearing & what the hell if I get a few knocks over the years as it adds to the character & hopefully doesnt diminish the value too much.
