    I use my DJ to check the date on a daily basis. And the time to tell what time it is every single day. So yes

    I correctly use my Rolex to crown each of my achievements and temporarily raise my crushingly-low self esteem. I tried a Seiko but it just wasn't as effective.

    I don't have a Rolex, if only one of my watches could perform the same function as a Rolex.

    Though I did wear my Seiko padi when I went for a pizza/beer in Ghisonaccia last night.

    In between glancing at the pretty Corse girls I glanced at my lovely blue dial shimmering in the light and casually turned the bezel hoping the clicking would draw attention.

    I'm guilty of wearing the odd diver, I own 2 Omega SMPs, but I have plenty of other watches I prefer. Dive watches are a bit like cats, they all look pretty much the same but to the owners they appear vastly different. One black/ steel and one bimetal diver covers the bases in my collection, frankly I prefer more interesting stuff.

    Some yeas ago I actually fell in a river and got water in a vintage Tissot........ should've worn a dive watch rated to 300metres!

    In answer to the OP's question, I can gve a most resounding 'yes'; I sometimes wear a Rolex Explorer whilst out walking in unfamiliar areas........that's exploring in my book!

    I am surprised someone who has been around watches as long as you can't see the use of a timing function, and precious few non-divers have a turning bezel. A chrono is over the top for what is needed much of the time and the aesthetics don't always appeal.

    Yes, for free diving. So if it all goes very, very wrong the Sub will still be working down in the depths and can be passed on to one of the kids.

    The more I think about it, the more I convince myself that a basic Rolex, such as the 39mm Oyster is the most sensible all-round choice. Buy it, keep it for a lifetime.

    I wear my GMT to:

    Pass myself off as a test pilot when down the pub.
    Pass myself off as a builder when down the pub.
    Pass myself off as a car dealer when down the pub.
    Impress birds down the pub.
    Impress blokes down the pub.
    Look like a flash git when down the pub.
    Tell the time when down the pub.
    Know if it's spring or autumn when down the pub. (Yes I keep the GMT hand set to GMT - how weird is that?)

    So it seems to fulfil all intended functions while down the pub. I never wear it otherwise, as it has PCL, and might pick up a scratch. It's why I never go to the bar when down the pub, if you own a Rolex everybody down the pub buys you drinks, it's the rulez innit!

    As one gentleman to another, I understand your line of thinking and expect it unlikely that you would ever regret such a purchase.

    Some laughs on here, right enough, but I bet there are some who have fully used their collection as originally intended by watch design. Not many, but surely a few.

    When I was travelling a lot Explorer II was REALLY handy tool to check what was time back home. Luckily I have a Speedmaster if NASA calls me and I have to go to the moon.

    Man must be prepared.

    Chaps

    Mechanical watches are no more than big boys toy and so what. I wear them because I like them and I also like the history attached to them.

    I have never gone down 1000ft in the oceans wearing my Sub and I still like wearing it.

    I have never timed anything on my Daytona because I am good at mental arithmetic and can remember times.

    I have only once gone down a cave wearing my Freccione Explorer11 so I have sort have used it for the purpose for which it was made.

    I wears my 39mm Explorer most of the time and that is just a bog standard watch.

    I have a motor bike that can do 120 mph but I have never gone over 55 mph, but so what, who cares. At least I am still walking and not laid up in a coffin.

    If you like it and enjoy it, nothing else matters.

    Regards

    Mick

    Same for me.

    I do imagine myself diving with it. Does that count as well?

    Nah. You use the functionality every time you wear it - it's there for emergencies. Now clearly if it's at home in the drawer it's not being used...

    I think this 007 watch would show you were a serious player if worn in the Casino and far less common than any of the Omega tie-ins.

    As the Cellini range of Rolex are named after Benvenuto Cellini who was a noted smasher in of back doors of both sexes I would submit it would be more appropriate wristwear than a Hulk for such activities.

    The Hulk on the other hand would be ideal wear for when losing ones temper whilst wearing cut-off denim shorts.
