Queston: Is this thread only for luxurious watches?
Thanks my friend. Yes, I'm going to keep this bare-wristed vigil going until the watch arrives!
crying and having on tantrum on the floor when its time to give it back to the SA...I know I always did.
Thanks Mimo.So many watches, so many bemused sales assistants....so many tantrums. You have ruined my life (and your posts are always at their best when ROs are involved!)
I admire your principles, and I hope the anticipation will only heighten the pleasure in due course.
As the honourable Mr Barwick said, all watches of integrity seem to get respect here. My miserable collection comprises a battered old Omega worth less than my shoes, a quartz Rodania with Saddam Hussein's face on it (long story), and a shiny new Seiko in bright orange. Yet amazingly, the pack have accepted me as their own rather than tearing my miserable hide to shreds. Even the flashy bastard above with his platinum Patek has been able to find warm and friendly words about a Seiko, Tissot or Hamilton posted by one of us lesser mortals. So welcome in, Betel. The watch people on this forum are even nicer than the shoe people. Good to see you here.
+1 Spot on Nuke. I love nice shoes and clothing, but they have taken a back seat over the years to watches, for many of the same reasons you have mentioned. Beyond that, if you tire of a watch or decide its not your taste you can trade it and if purchased smartly they retain good value (and in rare cases they appreciate)...that is never happening with the nicest suit or shoes.
I love wearing nice clothing, but even at nice events sometimes I worry about not having my clothes damaged. I went to a wedding where they served some sort of soup/biscque...well some F@cking $hithead waiter spilled a large blob of soup on the back of a nice Rubinacci suit jacket...and never said a word. At least if the guy told me I might have been able to get it out before it set into the fabric. Neither I nor my wife noticed it until we got home from our trip and it had dried into the fabric. When I saw the color of the stain I knew instantly what it was.
So I love nice clothing and shoes...but watches for me are much more enjoyable, more durable, and often look as fantastic now as they did 20 years ago or more.

So cold today. Had to wear some ice cold platinum.

Very nice trio Betel! I have a Hamilton as well and it caught me the same way your Tag did when I would see it in stores.
