God doesn't need to know what time it is.
Value of anything is a most fascinating subject to me.
Eric Clapton hasn't owned this Rolex Daytona for nearly 20 years. It 's probably been in storage since he dumped it and is expected to fetch north of $1.6M?
For that much I'd want his playing ability AND his stereo system.
Great story isochronism. It raises an important question... Just who would I pick, If I could choose any of the greats for a one on one? "Wristwatches were made so one would not need to to reach into their pocket for the time. Now it has come full circle where people reach back into their pocket." That is one of the reasons I wear a watch. I just don't have the wrist or wallet to wear a cool one as the Submariner or Daytona!

A watch keeps time. A Rolex is a piece of jewelry that also keeps time. Some folks like to wear jewelry, some like to look at appreciate it & some do both. You can buy a decent watch that keeps better time than a Rolex for under $100 & requires no maintenance. It may not be as beautiful & probably won't last generations. Its sort of like cars. You can buy an American or Japanese sports car that will be as fast as all but a very few Ferrari's or Lamborghini"s but nowhere near as beautifully hand made or last as long. Some of us are willing to pay for beauty & artistry in the audio world too & thus this forum.

John Mayer has quite the collection.

On the Ry Cooder sub-convo, and in connection to the “Clapton is God” graffiti, RC played the sweet Tele slide guitar for the soundtrack of the movie “Crossroads” in opposition to Stevie Vai’s demonic metal shredding in the final shoot-out between Ralph Macchio and Vai to reclaim the soul of his friend. |
