Well, guys...we are all gathered here for one good reason...watches; and what follows next like friendship, kidding, laughter and fun...well, that's another aspect to this crazy scenario!!

So what is it with us and watches? A Passion or a Fetish?
While passion has been identified by the dictionary as "strong emotion", "sexual love" as well as "strong enthusiasm" for a person or an object, Fetish has been identified as "worshipping of an inanimate object".

Are we actually worshipping an inanimate object or do we have a strong emotion and enthusiasm toward watches?

Vote now with comments please!!

Cheers - JJ

You're actually getting stranger by the day, JJ

I'll go with....neither. I would say I have an appreciation for watches and their mechanical movements

I think JJ has a passion for his sheep, and a fetish for his watches, so he has the best of both worlds!

Being a horolophile -unfortunately is being a complete watch geek.

I would have to say no to it being a fetish or I would have to take several links off and start wearing my watches lower down on my body istead of my wrist...

of course reselling it would be pretty difficult I guess?

Thanx CJ, the Omega Chrono would be WAY too heavy to wear anywhere else but the wrist...

It could double as that new stretching and size enhancement technique that JJ has been trying out

JJ Irani · 3 April 2006, 04:54 AM

Thanks Padi, as long as we are here to support JJ's Ovis Aries fetish, it's all good

There is only one watch that qualifies to be worn "down there" and or course that would be the Rolex "Prince Albert"

CJ I guess that is why JJ bathes his watches so often and it is such an erotic event at least according to this post I found in the Jokes/Cartoons section... it all makes sense now!

JJ,

I'll do whatever it takes my friend... shave a sheep even! On a serious not though can ask you a question?

After you shave the sheep do you find them even more irresistable when they are naked like that???
