I collect watches and have (amazingly) heard the "why have a watch when your phone has the time?" comment before. Why have artistic painting when you can throw paint on the wall? Music? Just grunt and rattle your food bowl...man...for those who like them, watches are amazing little machines with soul and wearable design...Rolex is an interesting company that makes over a million watches a year, and their prices have soared...so what? Don't like Clapton's playing? He's sort of proved himself musically over 6 decades or so...so...meh...he can play and it's very likely you can't. (however, I can and have for maybe only 5 decades...again...meh...)
God doesn't need to know what time it is.
Value of anything is a most fascinating subject to me.
Eric Clapton hasn't owned this Rolex Daytona for nearly 20 years. It 's probably been in storage since he dumped it and is expected to fetch north of $1.6M?
For that much I'd want his playing ability AND his stereo system.
