What time do you wear?


What watch, if any, graces your wrist? Does time matter? You know: time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana. Either way.

Danvetc-Vanity? Perhaps. The truth, however, is that a lot of people who see you with one won't know the difference between a Patek and a Timex. When you get to the more subdued fine watches like a Patek Calatrava, a Breguet or a Vacheron Constantin, only a minor % of the population will know you got several thoudand dollars on your wrist. So...not so much vanity as appreciation of fine craftmanship.
Best watch I have is a fake Rolex I bought off a street vendor in NYC 15 years ago for $10. Takes a licking and keeps on ticking. I wear it everyday and not a single problem after 15 years. Not bad for a fake piece of crap. Outlasted my wifes Movado by 7 years.
I collect watches from the 30's to 50's, mainly preferring those with rose gold cases. Today I'm wearing an inexpensive 1934 Bulova 21 jewel, rose gold drivers watch. (I think that I'd paid somewhere around $60.00 for it). It's a fun hobby, and when you consider the regiment required to properly clean an LP, it really isn't too much trouble to wind your watch.
