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.

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. |
My dad left me a very basic Breitling watch before he died. He suggested I sell it because he knew I wasn’t interested in watches. That was the plan, but 5 years later I’m still wearing it. I grew fond of its qualities such as; self winding, doesn’t care about the internet, amazingly robust and waterproof. Basically it feels like something that will last for more than my lifetime and it’s rather convenient to get the time at a glance. Recently my love for this device has faded a bit because it’s not keeping time as well. It probably needs servicing and that’s expensive. It was running about 1 minute a month late, which I thought was exceedingly impressive for a mechanical device. I think it’s now losing a minute every 4 or 5 days. The change seems to have happened suddenly. It’ll probably get worse. Don’t know that I want to pay to have it serviced. |
