Ever since I was old enough to tell time, I would get the fever for a new watch at least once a year. I remember circling my fave watch from the old Christmas Sears Catalogs and prayinging that Santa bring it to me.
As I got older and had my own pocket money, I found that Santa couldn't afford the watches that I wanted, so I had to throw my own cake into the project. Each year they got more and more expensive (and prettier), but I just couldn't stop when I got that fever in me.
Then one day I happened upon the SPC Bond-style watch (it has the extra 3 dials on it for a stopwatch so I guess it isn't really a Bond watch) in Titanium no less. I bought it before Goldeneye even came out, so it wasn't a 007 nestalgia thing; just the love for a beautiful work of art. My mindset was that it was expensive enough (and beyond all other watches) to be surpassed by my fever for the newer and better.
Frankly, I still wear it to this day and haven't found a successor, but damned if I don't still keep looking. So ya, I can't judge anyone here with the same inclings. You have to admit that the watch-fever is a great passion to have in life...
