Re: This is stupid . . .
In Response To: This is stupid . . . ()

: 'Better' and 'best' are, at best, subjective.

: What's the best car? A Roller or a Ford F-150?
: What if you detest the looks of one of them?
: How could it then be considered 'best' in
: some way?

: This same logic applies to watches. Which is
: 'best'? Are we talking re-sale value? Looks?
: Time-keeping?

: The 'best' is what suits your needs best, and
: not what qualifies under someone else's
: criteria.

: I have an Omega, a Rolex, a lot of Eternas, a
: Zenith, some Seikos, a Wenger or two, a
: couple of Longines, a Glycine, a TAG Heuer
: F1 (given me by a fellow at McLaren), and a
: bunch of other watches.

: Is one the 'best'? It depends on what I'm
: doing, and where I'm going.

: I have a 'car washing watch', a 'movie' watch,
: a 'hey, look at me watch', and a 'only watch
: guys will get this one' watch, among others.

: What difference does any of it make to anyone
: but me . . .?

Well put! It is a very subjective thing and a watch preference can often be dictated by mood - which is what makes owning and wearing all types of watches fun. Which one is better? Who cares as long as you like it!
