God doesn't need to know what time it is.

Speaking of Ry Cooder.....From many years ago, check out his work with Gordon Lightfoot in his version of Me and Bobby Magee.

Watches have very little to do with time or the telling thereof. Watch people understand that. Non watch people do not. 

I'm old school. I like the feel of a proper watch on my wrist. I have a few nice ones, some older, but nothing like the big dollar bling that is thrown around these days. Watch-making is both science and art. Some of the designs are fascinating (and I pretend to know very little about the watch making art). To @bdp24, it's another way to spend money, a hobby, some pursue with a passion. 

I had a friend back in NY who was seriously into cars. He managed to get the stopwatch Steve McQueen used in the movie Le Mans. He can afford it. 

Daytonas seem to be some of the most collectible Rolexes for both neophytes and serious collectors. Nice watch. Not worth millions, other than for provenance and bragging rights, but I understand it. Is the money going to a charity?

@secretguy + 1  Though I wouldn't say Clapton can't play - he obviously can and has done so for decades - he just doesn't play anything I'd care to listen to! 

He's a hack. Any actual, trained musician would agree.
