Good day All, have some time on my hands. Probably waiting for the kumander to finish her rounds in the mall. So here I am, in a coffee shop waiting.......
I guess I can say I have always been a watch nut. There might have been a time when I found that having something on the wrist was quite annoying. But when I had that Black/Gold citizen chrono on one of my birthdays, I was hooked. I always had my eye on my Dad's Sub and I would wait for him to take it off so I could put it on and see how it felt. Sadly though, he never did. Even when he slept or showered he never took it off. Ithink I was 12-13 by then.
i find myself yearning, wanting, hungry even for those timepieces that, to me, are absolutely, beyond beautiful. Rolexes, Pams, AP's, VC's, ALS, JLC, I could go on all day! But, to my despair, will be out of my reach financially. Don't get me wrong though, I could perhaps afford some if I really wanted to. But there is always a nagging voice in my head that's on repeat saying "really, that much for that?" or the "you could buy this much (insert everyday commodity here) for that money."
A few years back, I could not imagine myself spending a good amount of money for a timepiece. Heck, I would not even spend a good amount of money. Period. Then, 2 years ago, I purchased a pre-owned Ocean GMT. Thena few months ago it was an Ocean Ti500. My wife jokingly said that I Was preparing myself for that GMT Master II or that PAM 312 and maybe I should just save up for that or something. I don't know maybe she's right. But the thing is, even if i did save that much there will always be that nagging voice telling me that I could use that money for something else, like my kids education or something.
Sorry now, this is turning into a rant. But I guess some members have felt similar sentiments one way or another. So for now, I am content with what I have and I have come to appreciate wristshots of these beautiful timepieces even though they are not my wrists hehehe. Someday, maybe someday when my kids are already self sufficient, I would be able to walk into an AD without that nagging voice in my head and make that purchase with a smile on my face. For now, I will have to be content with looking at display cases, wristshots and probably ask my Dad to take of that Submariner so I can try it on.
Thanks for listening/reading, I hope i did not bore you to much.
Rock On watch lovers
