I know the feeling. My maternal grandparents emigrated from Ukraine, and I will no longer wear my Vostoks. Good watches, but I think I will be trading/selling them.
Don’t want to, but…
So we are back to the old “pocket watch” days, wherein you had to reach in to your pocket to get the time?
Wrist watches are for both utility AND fashion, but like so much else in life, form must follow function, ergo MORE than a fashion accessory.
I have enough basic color watches to match what I’m wearing. I don’t do this for others (Have you noticed how people throw on anything? Some wear pajamas and flip-flops to the supermarket!) I do it because that’s the way I am. Seems natural to me.
I’ve noticed jeans at weddings, shorts in church, even overdone bling on construction sites. Over the years, very few people have commented on my watches—just other watch guys.
It’s Sunday morning, my wife and I are sitting in the living room, drinking coffee and checking our websites, reading our newspapers, and enjoying retirement. But I’m still matching gray jeans with a silver bracelet.
As I said, it’s just the way I am.
