I was keeping it TRF friendly. You can imagine what first came to mind.

I did also watch The Straight Story recently, maybe had something to do with it...

I've started wearing the Adidas Ultraboosts. Very comfy.

I like the look of the Yeezys, but I wouldn't pay the outrageous resale prices. Perhaps one day if you don't need to line up for them.

I never see young people wearing watches. They are into connectivity. They see utterly no value in mechanical watches. Long term the watch industry continues its steady retrenchment. Its nobodies fault, technology simply moves on and changes what we use and how we do things, like telling time.

I think those who love fine mechanical objects will come to it, but even at 46 90% of my friends couldn't care less about watches, but they're not the type to get an Iwatch either...

Do you know what song many of us are referring to in this post? That may help with your answer

I am in my early 30s and despite have a passion for watches, every time I look at a Patek watch and see how much it costs, I feel like I am being taken advantage of.

I have a pretty good selection of watches and if someone was in my shoes they would lean towards adding a PP in their collection. Every time I walk into a PP store I try to fall in love with the brand but when I leave the store, I genuinely feel glad that I didnt spend my money.

Paying $28K for a simple 5711 steel watch is just beyond disturbing. They are just like the diamond industry. They can produce more watches but choose not to, just so they can create this artificial hype and demand for their watches to inflate their prices.

^28 is a bargain for that piece, 5711 is the original 5522

At least Panerai has original designs. I don't wear Panerai but I respect their product.

I’ll give you that. Hublot just 100% copied AP. Horrible.
