Saw an ad on the tram for this and thought, "yeah that looks amazing! I should get one." Sadly it's $15k and that is definitely not happening

I agree. I have 3 watches and that's enough. Plenty of great stuff on YouTube for aficionados.

Any watch I want I either can’t afford (Patek) or won’t let the dealer plow my wife to be offered the chance to buy (Pepsi). So we look at pictures.

Like 15 years ago as a broke barista I got real into scrounging for vintage Eastern European watches on eBay. Zims, Pobedas, some other fun ones I don’t recall now. Lotta cool faces.

Exactly. I’ve been “into watches” for five years and spent less than one Apple Watch

I have fallen down a rabbit hole of watch repair videos and am trying to resist the urge to get into it myself to get some old family watches running again.
