Hi Folks
I was talking to a friend the other day and I noticed he was wearing a new Datejust; I found this interesting as the last time we had met he was flaunting (and I do not use the word lightly) his new Jaeger le Coultre Master Geographique. I asked him about his new watch&he told me that it was now his everyday watch.
This got me to thinking about other folks I know and the watch owning progression they seem to go through and it seems to run like this:
1. Their pre-watch life
2. They become aware of watches and buy their first mechanical watch, probably something like a Longines, Bell&Ross or Tissot.
3. They enjoy the watch&buy their first watch magazine.
4. After reading a few issues they become dissatisfied with their watch&they trade it in&then buy something like an Omega.
5. After a while they keep the Omega and buy a Rolex
6. They find themselves wearing the Rolex most of the time
7. They discover TZ or some similar forum and spend a couple of hours a week on it
8. They discover that Rolex is NOT the best watch in the world
9. They buy their first vintage watch
10. They are spending an hour a day on TZ
11. They begin to develop an urge to buy a mechanical chronograph&buy a Speedmaster Moon watch
12. They drive out of their way to look in the window of their nearest IWC or JLC dealer
13. Their computer now opens TZ when switched on
14. They start to ask questions on TZ about prices of IWCs and JLCs&import duties× from the far east
15. They buy their first expensive watch on line
16. They start to look at TZ classics to try and understand the differences between Blancpain&Brequet
17. They are spending more time on TZ than with the family
18. They can not remember where the Rolex and the Omega are
19. They can not decide which of the Blancpain Trilogy is the best for them.
20. So they buy a Royal Oak
21. As the price of the watches increases, they are satisfied for a shorter time
22. They believe that their life will not be complete without either a Lange or a Patek
23. They buy one
24. They become obsessive about the watch, walking into other people so that they will be able to avoid walking close to any solid objects in order to protect their watch
25. They start to look for their Rolex
26. They find the Rolex and start to wear it almost all the time
27. They buy a season ticket to the opera, (its a chance to dress up&wear one of their expensive watches).
28. They now spend only an hour a week on TZ.
Is this anyone you know??
Good Luck
James

沒有$$$$的我已經跳到29?
PP Royal Oak Blancpain&Brequet 以上這些名錶都跳過 不過還是買過JLC! 不但如此還打算賣掉手頭上的錶(29) 只留下16600 現在想的是留下那一隻 TimeZone甚至Bus都很懶得上 不過還是敗了Sinn U1實在無法抗拒那種價位 也發現我只喜歡潛水錶(16600 跟16570只能留一隻我會留16600) |
