stevestojan Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 I work very hard to NOT collect watches. I have a timepiece fetish. Smart watches...every one I've seen does two things: shows you texts, and counts the steps you walk. I don't text or exercise...and even if I did, what's the !@#$ing point? They infuriate me. I have a Breitling Superocean Heritage (because most B's are WAAAY too busy.), a Panerai Luminor Base Logo (my favorite watch), and a very old Omega. I can't get a Rolex because they are just too small and I'm not a small person. I also have a Martenro. Fairly inexpensive but made in NYC and I really like how it looks. The movement is ****, but it was cheap. I also have a Tag which I hate and embarrassingly a Movado that I'd trade for a really good Italian Sub. My 6th is a Seiko, but we all make mistakes.

CountryCletus Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 I have never been a big collector... But recently I started collecting photographs of Shirl.... I have them all over my room- walls, ceiling, lamp shades.... I even lay one on the pillow next to me when I go to bed... I guess when you find one thing that really drives you- you surround yourself with those collectables!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fan in Chicago Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 For me, it's watches. Somewhat of an addiction, but I only have 6 of them, but I love each one. Smartwatches are one thing that make me want to kick baby seals. Such an insult to call them watches. I like watches too but all are the cheap sub-$100 kind. So don't sneer, you elitist snob. I still have the first watch I ever owned. A wind-up kind from 1978. Still works though it gains about a minute every day. I work very hard to NOT collect watches. I have a timepiece fetish. Smart watches...every one I've seen does two things: shows you texts, and counts the steps you walk. I don't text or exercise...and even if I did, what's the !@#$ing point? What is the benefit of a smartwatch anyway ? And I snicker at it being called 'smart' anyway. It is just another screen for your phone isn't it ? So it basks in reflected glory ? I find it hilarious that people stopped wearing wristwatches cos 'my phone can always tell me the correct time even when I travel across time zones'. And now these guys can't wait to flaunt their new smartwatch. Moron - you just got scammed for another $300. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
