What time do you wear?

Seiko "5" 21 jewel auto, white face with arabic numbers, SS case and band (NOS from the 80's). Also have Mido Oceanstar 21 jewel auto, white dial, silver and black enamel markers, SS case -w- blue leather band that I have not seen for years, but it's here somewhere. Both are calendar models. I am also fond of my "Hey baby come on, won't you dance with me" talking musical "chicken" alarm clock.

I will admit to having a Rolex with a pink gold bracelet and diamonds at 3,6,9 and 12 circa 193? which only comes out of the sock drawer whilst listening to classical(eat your heart out CWLondon). For pop, rock and jazz it's the $29 Relic I bought at Kohl's, that's right, a knock-off of an already cheap watch, Fossil. I can't even wear it in my shop; a prospect for a Newport Highboy asked me if it was a Tag Heuer and I just knew he thought I was making too much. I wonder what Enid Lumley wears and how it effects those fields. How's that for an arcane audiophile reference in a timepiece thread? And what's a timepiece thread doing here, anyway, go to Home Theatre where you belong!

I think it's pretty interesting. One suspected characteristic of an audiophile is someone who collects 'beautiful things'. It's interesting to see if they are like that with other items. I have a friend who makes custom classical guitars for people. They cost $4000-6000, depending on wood. I asked him how many of his customers are buying 'beautiful things' verses an instrument. He said "75%+".

Seiko you'll have to ask my wife for the details as to which model. It seems every year I get a new one since I'm hard on watches. She doesn't want any excuses from me about my "timing".

i have just returned from ces, early unfortunately. interestingly, i had several conversations with audio friends re: the correlations between tastes for the highend and cars/watches, etc. this was recognized by mb (now, ugh, daimler benz), which brought some of their most exotic benz's to ces 'cuz of the "market niche" ces participants represent (the rep from mb, na told me this). i also spent time with some distributors of swiss and german highend gear, each of whom wore an unpretensious but nice watch, swiss of course, on their wrist. so, i guess i don't mind admitting that my "everyday watch" is a brietling crosswind (steel and gold) with pilot 2-tone bacelet.
