Spontaneous Scan -- I Can't Stop Wearing this One *LINK*


It has been several months since we have had our regular scan days, and I know that some of the guys are ready to start with the scans again. I will be leaving on vacation / holiday in a few days, but had the sudden urge to launch a "Spontaneous Scan" request, with the following theme.

On Friday, I was chatting with a fellow Heuer enthusiast, and we were both lamenting that our work schedules and the weak dollar have limited the buying activity lately. We discussed some recent "buys", and then I told him that it was OK that I hadn't found many Heuers to buy lately, because "I just can't stop wearing this Olive Drab one".

So I am curious --

  • how many of you have one in your collection that you just can't stop wearing?
  • was there one that you once bought that you just wanted to wear every day?
  • if you really got hung up on one, did that prompt you to sell another that you were no longer wearing very often?
  • how long does it take for this problem to go away?

Let's see whether others have this "problem". I received this one around 21 days ago, and I have probably worn it at least 15 days since then.
