I never really understand the rap culture term 'haters ' until I see a thread like this.
I don't get thimble collectors , but then I don't need to , I just need to know its something that gives pleasure to those who do get it , and I wish them every happiness in it. For all of you that are negative on the subject , please just take a minute to realise for each of those $10k watches you own , $100 is the true value of the watch .. $9900 is your perceived value of the branding , heritage .. Perception of that bit of metal that you have bought into and that brings you happiness ... Once you are honest enough to accept that principal you will realise its all relative and you should get Comex and the people who enjoy them or mils or pn , or big Patek or anything else ... For those of you who think we are mugs ... What on earth do you think the Seiko collectors think of you ? |

Don't worry mate , totally chilled ... It makes me laugh more than anything ...
I just love the human nature in it ... The rational that whatever point of entry /purchasibg the hobby an individual takes is perfectly rational but the people up the ladder are nuts ... To be fair the the $100k guys think the $250k Patek guys are nuts but people can always persuade themselves that wherever they draw that line in the sand is perfectly normal and rational ... The one same person in the asylum .. I've said it before and ill say it again ... The minute you spend more than $10 on a watch logic leaves the building The Casio collectors think the seiko collectors are overpaying mugs The Seiko collectors think the longines guys are mental .. The longines guys thing omega buyers must be made of money Omega buyers think Rolex buyers are saps .. Rolex guys think Patek guys are soft in the head ..... Once you realise we are ALL in the asylum together it all makes a lot more sense :-) |

Absolutely mate - I agree! Very well put - it is indeed all relative. And we're all in it together and as nutty as thimble collectors (well, maybe not quite that bad...) my friend, K. |

I was considering buying a Panerai but now I don't know where I fit in? Do you recon I could 'fit in' between 'Nuts' and 'Absolutely Barking'? |
