I chase pennies on the floor. And it makes my day to find a quarter.
That might have something to do with my last name though.

Yet I wear them in daily life doing yard work, home repairs, recreating (skiing, biking, hiking, fishing) and even doing environmental remediation field work at contaminated sites, just like my Seikos, Breitlings, and AP RO. Watches are meant to be worn.

Not sure what's wrong with a 10 yo car? One of mine is 16 now, and it is a keeper.
Its market value is less than most of my watches, but it is a classic, impossible to replace, and it provides more driving fun than 95% of modern garbage out there. |

I own a Rolex yet I ...
Realize it's just a watch. Not an achievement. I own lots of watches and they are merely something I like and enjoy. How we prioritize our spending is a personal choice that needs no defending. |
