So, I was just checking out random posts here and there this morning and I started thinking about all the watches that have come and gone in my short history here. I have had quite a few watches that I let go and I started to realize that apparently I am just not that into new watches.
I got the last of the noob GMT's from BK and sold it less than a month later. I was literally afraid to wear it for fear of scratching it. Funny thing is, I will wear my Tudor every single day, regardless of the fact that it cost my 4 times as much to build as it did for the GMT. I have dinged it, scratched it, dropped it, and it just gets that much better looking.
(Ok Bob, I know you love those beat up old watches too!)
Anyways, I was just curious and thought I'd pose the question to the community. What exactly is it about the vintage beat up old watches that have so much more appeal?
I have had my Tudor for around a year and a half now, and it's like a second skin for me. I wear it all the time, and yet when I look down at it, a smile comes to my face each and every time and I just can't stop looking at it.
Thoughts?
