What's the worst loss of a fine watch that has happened to you

I was given a gold mens sized JLC Reverso about 15 yrs ago, by my longest lasting girlfriend pretty early on in the relationship. I was not the watch...

VERY cool models, high high quality , for a while I had a small fortune of Marklin HO gauge trains, that was fun, but time moves on. What a clean looking motor, wow, looks like the back of some nice watches !! I just realized it was the Aston Martin replica , wow, What I wouldn't do for a slightly later Ferrari Spyder

very nice, I like the language of this era, yours looks in really good shape ! I. think for people who really like to drive there is going to be a lot of manual trans cars that will be affordable . That is about as far as I can reach in terms of embracing "trans"

commented on I’m having a dilemma. I bought the 2 watches I always wanted…but I don’t feel good about it. ·

Haha, it sounds like you're hooked. See, I want to sell all of my unworn 120 watches , and get a white gold Patek Calatrava, A rose gold JLC reverse with moon phase and power monitor, and SOMEHOW, a super clone of a Lange, or FP Journe. (now thats dreaming) If I have not bought 120 watches in the last year and a half, I could easily bought the first two,, I can resist everything but temptation. Good Luck, I keep wondering why isn't there a watch "Trading Post" , part of the fun for me is that it is like matchbox cars , and baseball cards were when I was small. I think guys/gals would have a ball having a swap set up ??? what do you think

very articulate, . I stopped buying from Ali Express , because "about effing time " made me fee; like I was doing something wrong, and in general I understand the issue. HOWEVER, I have 26 solo classical albums, and over 570 pop ones that I played on. Sag Aftra gives me about 1k a year for the pop stuff, but I never made a cent in royalties on iTunes for the classical, .

The question I had to ask myself is do I want to have a legacy of sorts (no money) or stamp my foot and say if you dont pay royalties I won't do it. I chose the first attitude. What does this have to do with watches, I bought all the colors of the Breitling Endurance pro on Ali express before I realized I was buying counterfeits, and give them to friends or kids to maybe get them interested. I mean the people in the sweat shops have to eat too. You might as well give up your phone , your ear buds, etc, all these things are made by people in fairly dire circumstances. F it, , I love these copies, and you know what , they keep GREAT time

Will someone help me from losing it. there is a rose gold JLC reverse on Chrono 24 for 11400, with beautiful moon phase , power reserve and day and night, I think it is the most beautiful one in this price range but if it do it I will have to pay 1000 a month for a year and I can't really (shouldn't do this but hearing how their prices are going up , makes me skittish)

commented on Your One (1) most beautiful watch ·

I have both Seiko's and one that is solar and is a WT and gets time from the sky ! Would someone tell me how to upload pics, I am a bit of a dolt and cant figure that out

I just got a BMW 2012 128i convertible, manual trans , what fun, it makes me want to get another, I have 2 toy poodles and a princess cat, I love animals more than people.
