I don't have a lot of time, like I used to, for the Hog, but I check out this e-mail before I check out the Hog on a daily basis. Lots of really cool watches on this site.

Lemme comment based on a quote from the CEO of Rolex years ago...

A guy said hello to the CEO of Rolex and asked him how the watch business is going.

The CEO of Rolex responded saying “I have no idea of the watch business. I am in the luxury business”.

Thats a man who knows his market.

You do realize that's an urban myth.

Ooops - page nine now. And you're right - I never learned to tell time.

City of Chicago, DC-10 crash at takeoff. Landed in homes killing all on board. A fireman came across an unattached hand sticking out of the ground. The hand had a watch on it.

He said Timex keeps on ticking...

But that’s not what a wristwatch is for. It’s for keeping an eye on the time - “We’re running a bit late, let’s get a move on”. Anybody remember the original Bulova Accutron? One of the first battery powered watches. It had a vibrating tuning fork, and the mechanism counted the vibrations, converting that to time. Incredibly accurate compared to contemporary watches. You can still buy them used.

Here is my watch, i have used it every day for about 60years, and it still keeps perfect time. what more does anyone need.

Beautiful pocket watch. I have a USA made large Hamilton Train watch from the 1890s which was owned and used by my wife's great grandfather who was a train conductor in the late 19th century. it is badly in need of service which probably has not been performed on it in75 years or more, however when wound up it still runs reasonably accurately all things considered.

Wow this is an interesting culture question. I think a nice watch is part of the costume to go to business and say
I am successful and live well. I wan't you to know that I am a worthwhile person. Isn't this the way the world works.
A little pride is not a big thing. According to this I should be wearing a robe and sandals to show my lack of materialism.

I have owned Tag Heuer's for years but the last year of have switched to a Casio sport watch under $100. I can swim with
it. Work with it. And even survive my grandson trying to pull it off my arm. He is autistic.
Actually over the years a good Casio is the most reliable watch I have every owned. My wife gave me a nice one years ago
and when I take it out of the drawer it's still keeping good time and running.

I have never thought my watch was saying i am better then you. I have done videos fund raising for the homeless, first responders,
disabled children. The experience of a homeless man i interviewed who had come in in Philadelphia asking him what he wanted
wanted while he was living under the train station. His answer: "i just wanted to eat with a knife and fork."
He never mentioned a watch.

Yep. My brother had one.

Exactly. The head instructer at the school I attended inspected and adjusted the hair springs for them.

While the Accutron was an interesting design, my interest lies more in purely mechanical watches.

Why, Why, Why, rich man poor man, you own nothing, you only have the use of material things, you can not take them with you when you die. You will find that out, when you are like me with one foot in the grave.
