What time do you wear?

I just bought an Omega Seamaster (partly because of this thread), and I'm wearing it while listening to my system right now. Prior to that the most expensive watch I'd ever owned was a $200 titanium Citizen.

This website costs me way too much!

Largely because of information in this thread, I purchased a quartz Omega Seamaster about a month ago. (Man, Audiogon costs me so much money, and not just in audio gear!)

I got it in anticipation of going to a conference in Singapore and wanted something that looked professional.

I love it so far, and it seems like an absolute bargain compared to the watches that grace all the jewelry shops here in Singapore that cost more than I've ever spent on a car. Kind of like in the same way that we consider a used $3000 Audio Research LS-25 preamp to be a bargain.

Thanks guys.

Achilles, yes I do still enjoy the seamaster more than ever. It really has a classic look, with a well-designed clasp and face. It's truly a joy to wear. Of course, my Citizen titanium watch also has some of those desirable attributes, but is not nearly as substantial. Then again, on the price to performance ratio, the Citizen does quite well.

But the Omega is in another league. Kind of like Marsh vs Audio Research.

Mrtennis, I agree mostly with your understanding that audiophiles are probably more likely to enjoy the finer things in life. I think this thread is actually relevant on Audiogon because of that. In fact, I have a number of other things that I enjoy while listening to the music. Whether it's a nice glass of wine or wearing a very comfortable pair of slippers, it enhances the experience.

In fact, I decided to post a thread on what are audiophiles' favorite steaks to eat while listening to the system. Again, it synergizes with the music, and typically makes for a better music session (for me, anyway).
