I've worn this watch every day but two since the day it arrived in the mail, February 17th.
And the two days I chose to wear something else--my AP one day, the JD another-- I did so out of guilt for neglecting my other watches. So I guess I must really like it. A combination of loving the vintage look, being very comfortable, and the metal brace...
