  1. Fire chief walks into a burning room to find 2 firemen butt f***ing each other. The first fireman says "Sir, this man's got smoke inhalation". The fire chief says "Then why didn't you give him mouth to mouth resuscitation?". The second fireman says "Sir, how did you think this shit got started?"

  2. I have been thinking about the need to service my reps. If I had only one, and used it every day, then the decision to service it regularly would be pretty straightforward.

    However, I have 10 or so reps that I am wearing more or less the same amount of time, so all of them are running less than 40 hours every 10 days, or about 1/5 of time. Since most are unserviced, let's assume that all of them are in "can break at any time" state. Also, let's assume that a movement in this state will break irrepairably (need to completely replace it) after 3 years of running all the time, on average.

    Now, my reps are running only 1/5 of time, so they will accumulate 3 years of running and break, on average, only after 15 years in this state. And after such long time, I will probably not care about most of these watches to have them repaired. And save one or two thousand EUR in service costs over that time...

    Does this logic make sense (both, umm, mechanically and financially)?

    Yes to some degree. I like chronos and the ones that I really like I take the extra step to swap in a swiss movement. Its just a bit more bucks and any doubt of it crapping out in the future goes away. If it does break, it is comforting to know that there will be part available to fix it unlike A7750.
