Wear them all, it's not like you're going to bash them around mixing concrete or chopping wood, how wabid can they possibly get with normal daily wear?
There are certain watches that I wear less than others to keep them pristine, but I still wear them.

Nice lineup!
With a stable like that I could see leaving one on the shelf, just like a toy collector that buys 2 - one to save and one to play with.

Nice collection of watches. Wear it, as time goes by it's value will continue to increase probably more than if it goes to storage. I mean what real collector doesn't want a watch with a little wabi.

To be quite honest I really fail to see what the hype is or the allure is of a 6306!
Other then a couple of minor differences they are identical to the 6309 cushion case models!
I admit I would probably like to own one simply to add to the series but cannot justify the prices simply for a few differences.

Yeah...... you are absolutely correct....... I stupidly sold it and now regret doing so thus my looking for another! The thing that really bothers me the most however was the fact that the watch was in immaculate ALL original condition and had recently been serviced as well and at my asking price which was EXTREMELY fair I practically had to beg someone to buy it! I took (IMHO) a beating on it! People left and right look for an example as good as mine was but yet they are cheap and dont want to pay the price for it! You have NO idea how many low ball offers I got for it....... |

I don't know how much you sold it for, but selling on the forums, will typically always bring less than the bay.

My guess is that if you take great pics, you'll add about 20% to the sell price. |

I will eventually find another one and should the time ever come where I decide to "flip" it I wont be as foolish. |

I say wear it. Occasionally. Unless it was NOS, no reason not to throw it in the mix.
