Re: SUB or SMP WTF?
In Response To: Re: SUB or SMP WTF? ()

Reasons:
too many i would say, depends on a person actually and his lifestyle.
i bought A “Guess” chronograph 6 years ago and it was good enough for my needs. I felt I needed more about 2 years ago and bought
A “Swatch” “steel” automatic and I was glad. I took good care of the watch. Last Christmas I bought the Seamaster 120M white dial
And it made work seem less stressful whenever I looked at my left wrist. Last April 28, I bought a Mid “SMP” black dial. Life is good.
Both Seamonsters now accompany me separately all the time.
I wouldn’t stop here but my lifestyle will dictate my next decision. A “Rolex” is nice but I’m not ready to be a “Poser” and be an “Old dirty man”.
Hehe, for you guys who have an Oyster – I wasn’t referring to those who can appreciate, just the miss informed ones that don’t know any better (yet, hopefully someday).
I’d rather get a Panerai 1000m or an IWC 2000m. a Limited exotic looking “Gold & Pfeil”. Maybe trade half a massed collection or less for a “Patek”.
Vacheron is nice too, a “Chronoswiss”, a “Frederique Constant” all nice by the way, “Lange & Sohne” “master calendar”, and a “Breguet”.

Or just maybe let my “seamonsters” grow old with me. I still have a lot of time with 27 years under me.

AND DON’T GET ME STARTED ON THE “WATCH WINDERS”!
: Why do you guys want to buy so many luxury
: watches? Don't you just need one good one?
: Do you switch every day or something?
