It's almost like poll, but certainly more fun

Mine is inherited.  Never going anywhere.  It is a wonderful reminder.  

czarivey, I hear you.

I don’t have Rolex but if I ever really need it I will. Explorer model.

I’m a watch geek and collect whatever I find to be interesting and a good value. All automatics. A new Rolex currently requires a long wait if ordering one, and they’re very expensive these days. Interestingly they produce around a million watches a year with one of the least expensive men’s models still around 8 grand or so. Do the math. Pateks are mostly pretty ugly to me (a nice chronometer came out a couple of years ago, almost as expensive as a new Rolex Dytona) but great history anyway. Chronometers (I have a few designated as such) generally do keep better time it seems. I also have great sounding audio gear, none of which is particularly expensive. And yeah, generally nobody cares about that, and rarely do I meet another watch collector.

I have my cell to annoy me with the daily drudge of time.

I cannot 'make time', regardless of how often or one demands I should.

I am like anyone else, another trapped in the amber that inexorably hardens about one, eventually rendering how it was spent meaningless.

Forgotten in a short interval except by the few who have the same fate, lost in the millennia, that which erases all....Me, you, everyone and everything you love, hate,  know of, clueless of....

History vagues; becomes a story, a myth, a rumour, a tale told by an idiot around the dying fire...

The star explodes, the planet bbq'd......orbits decay, infinity wins, but only for it's while...

...and I'm supposed to be impressed or awed of a watch.

I'll agree. it's nice.

The Armani suit? Ditto...

The SOTA x120% audio items? Yup, kewl.... sure that it sounds absolutely Wonderful.

I'll likely never have the opportunity for the experience of the pleasure.

Nor will you have to suffer through what I enjoy, far be it from SOTA....

...and the current space it's in?

Atrocious....*LOL*

"One runs what ones' brung..."

...and there's a certain level of satisfaction in that.

I wish y'alls' yours....
