Wear it and enjoy it I say ;)
Wear it gets my vote.
If you are too worried about wearing it then you’re probably best to just wear for special occasions.
If you are not worried ( & ideally if it’s insured ) then I would wear it everyday ! It’s meant to be worn

Did the watch ever com back from SH?
I think this thread deserves those long awaited pictures!
I tend not to expose my glistening treasure in public...
It’s back, and has been for a while. Keeping excellent time -2 secs per day. As expected, it remains a daily wearer; shame to be anything different.
A crappy photo, watch as it is today - nowhere near immaculate and a bit gnarly.

Whilst I take it off during manual work and exercise, it stays on the wrist otherwise. As I don’t work at a desk, it has no diving marks!It’s back, and has been for a while. Keeping excellent time -2 secs per day. As expected, it remains a daily wearer; shame to be anything different.

Very nice lovely to see it getting worn
Think it's my favourite watch of all time
It’s certainly my favourite. 37 years on the wrist nearly, through good and tough times. It has a ‘patina’ of age naturally.....

Glad to see you’re still wearing it.
I think it’s a shame when people say not to wear it as it’s now worth more money. When do people that do this sort of thing get any satisfaction from their watches? The satisfaction comes from looking down and seeing the lovely Watch that was a gift. And maybe sometimes talking to people about it if/when an enthusiast asks.
I can’t imagine the people that keep these things hidden away will be on their death bed thinking “I’m so glad I never got any enjoyment out of my watch” Why save it for someone else to benefit from?
Seems crazy to me, Life is too short.
It would probably feel strange not to wear it after all that time, wear and enjoy, its a beauty.
It's great that it's still being worn but I posted earlier in the thread that I'd have my reservations. Whilst I wear watches to enjoy them, for me there's a certain value that's within my comfort zone.
If I owned a Double Red SD it would be far and away my most valuable asset (excluding my house), so I wouldn't treat it in the same way I do with my current watch.
It is my most valuable asset, bar the house.....but I wear it as I would a Timex. My Mum gave it to me, and I’ll hopefully still be wearing it when I shuffle off. I have thought about selling it and converting to 2 cheaper watches, so that both of my grandsons get a watch when I go, but I’d miss it.
