Bed time read...

This article although a bit old but it is funny and true, especially the first part.. (it gets a bit monoyonous at the end)....

It's funny, I never thought about bigger watches until this year. Shoot I went from a 35mm Yachtmaster, to a 40mm Daytona, to a 45mm Radiomir and now a 46mm Big Pilot.

I will never wear a small watch again :)

Good ready btw Zed.

Interesting article, but full of hyperboles and funny descriptions. I have to laugh at snobs reacting in horror.

I concur there.... muy best bits were:

''Every time I think about putting one of the others on, they feel too small,'' Mr. Minkoff said. ''I used to shy away from big watches. I called them Quarter-Pounders. Now I'm wearing a double Whopper with cheese.''

''If I have one he doesn't have,'' Mr. Schwarzenegger said of Mr. Stallone, ''I give it to him. And he does that for me.''
