My newly acquired F65062 two tone Aerospace and UTC on a two tone bracelet will arrive tomorrow. Hopefully everything is copasetic.
This is new old stock, never worn, extra links still attached to bracelet.
Using the excellent post on this site concerning the evolution of the Aerospace, I have this down to the last of the pre-COSC certified days, in 1999. Making the watch ten years new.
Now the question, do I wear it, or keep it pristine? I kinda feel bad breaking it in so late in life. I had bought it to wear for sure. Thoughts?

... do I wear it, or keep it pristine? I kinda feel bad breaking it in so late in life. I had bought it to wear for sure. Thoughts?Do you wear it? :-s Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahaha!!!!! :-d ABSOLUTELY you wear it!!:-! Think of it this way... If you had purchased that watch on September 10th, 2001, would you be worried about breaking it in and keeping it "new"?... ;-) The only thing you need to be worried about right now is having a digital camera available and ready to take pics tomorrow. We will be expecting pics posted before end of business tomorrow... ;-)
Best,

I love it, you guys crack me up, I kinda thought this would be the answer. I'll have it on by tomorrow night. I think you just defined "unequivocal".

FWIW - My Aerospace is about the same age as the one you recently acquired; though mine was received as a gift from my father. Although I may not wear it as often as the Superocean, it is still one of my favorite watches. I have found it to be quite durable. So, my advice to you is that if it makes you happy, wear it!
