I buy quality watches and cars...that make money...why the hell would someone purposely lose money? But to each his own

Does that apply to the women in your life too? Jk ;) But my point is sometimes you like something or someone without regard to its/their ability to make money. After all, money is means to an end, not the opposite. And let’s face it, when you found the watch you wanna put all those memories into, its not like you’re gonna resell it anyway.
The only pride you can take in a watch you’re babysitting for its future purchaser is having recognized other people’s demand... big deal, I prefer to take pride in my personal sense of taste, and frankly my ability to truly afford a watch, meaning my ability to write it off entirely. But then again, I’m an owner, not a trader, I buy with my eventual grandkids in mind, not a guy who’ll give me double retail.
