Chicolini's post introduces a highly embellished Rolex, prompting a discussion about personal taste versus perceived conservatism in watch collecting. His candid reflections on owning such a 'flashy' piece, even if primarily for private enjoyment, resonate with the community's diverse perspectives on luxury watches.
I owned that watch, I would probably never wear it, but I would enjoy it every day. It would be in my home on display wear the light could hit it “just right”. I think it’s beautiful!😍
I’m pretty conservative and may not ever wear it; but I’ll look at it a lot and appreciate the beautiful gems and the workmanship.
And one of the hottest watches on the planet right now
I would love to wear it (not in Hotspot area’s 😉) 👍🏻 Congrats and wear it (or look at it )in best of health 🙏🏻🌈
Large retailers and buyers alike from near and far. If there was ever a smaller “event” to wear an “important” (translation “show off”) watch to it would have been this. My watch? My $800 Mido Commander Shade and I loved it! I think this all fits with being “conservative?”
You have too many beautiful avant-garde pieces in your collection to have purely conservative taste. Are your spectacular Greubel Forsey and De Bethune pieces consistent with conservative taste? So I don't actually believe your watch tastes are always as conservative as you say, but I think there are times - like the occasion you just mentioned - where it’s important to you to be seen as being conservative. That’s not quite the same thing 😀 So I say come to the dark side, embrace your wild side
