Watches - another OCD problem

Seul

Don't tell me you managed to kill the Patek?.. What did you do: take a bath with it this time?..

rocket

don't understand that either, get yourself a G-shock, or something like this…

Giles

Nope, the winder fell off. It is in a sealed plastic bag in the safe with the rest of the watch waiting for me to save up enough to get it fixed….

I just found this:

Think I have to get it. It is manual though… don't know if I'll remember winding.

Chris

You'll get used to it surprisingly quickly. My usual watch is a manual wind, and it's just part of the routine to wind it before putting it on in the morning. I think I've only forgotten to wind it once.

I'm ambivalent in how much sympathy to feel for you, Giles. Yes, it sucks to break the Patek, but a JLC is one hell of a backup. I think I could live with that one as a daily wearer.

I am going though a stage where so many things I want is coming my way and I can't possibly afford them all. Can anyone relate?

Here is one

here is the link to the watch, & they have a few of them. i just wanted a blue faced watch that wasn't too expensive & i wouldn't mind if i destroyed it (which i tend to do)

it's really nice & a hell of a bang for the buck. i'll try to take a few more pictures tonight. really thinking about getting a beige face as well so i can switch them out. got a cheapo ~~deployment~~ deployant buckle & a few other straps to switch out to keep me entertained for a little bit
