True Confessions
Re: True Confessions
I am going to ignore the ‘picture or it didn’t happen’ rule for this post.
I woke up, put on my watch and went into the bathroom to do my morning routine...wearing just the watch. I have no idea how often I have done this in the past, but it probably isn’t my first time.

Re: True Confessions
Someone—my barber, actually—noticed my watch today. And liked it!

Re: True Confessions
Yesterday I left my house in a hurry and forgot to put on a watch! About 5-10 minutes down the road, I was still contemplating whether or not to turn around, but I was already short on time. It was terrible. Constantly looking down for the time or date and seeing nothing but tan line.
I am debating being one of those guys who keeps a watch in the glove box, just in case.

I am proud to be "one of those guys." I have a G-Shock in my car as a backup watch.Dub Rubb wrote: ↑Wed Mar 20, 2019 7:42 pm Yesterday I left my house in a hurry and forgot to put on a watch!

Or buy a car with a dashboard clock.
Re: True Confessions
Haha, it wasn't necessarily when I was in my car, more when I was out in the field. I tend to leave my phone in my car rather than bring it with me while climbing ladders and going into attics. Ruined a few phones that way.The Sultan of SoWhat wrote:---Dub Rubb wrote: ↑Wed Mar 20, 2019 7:42 pm Yesterday I left my house in a hurry and forgot to put on a watch!

However, my buddy just swapped out his digital clock for an analog in the dash of his E30 and I think it looks the business!

One of the signal features of Infinitis (which make I drive) was an analog clock. But they have gone digital too. Alas.
Re: True Confessions
At least half the time I change out a watch, it's at night shortly before I go to bed. There's something satisfying about picking out a watch for the next day before sleeping. Sure. I occasionally I end up changing it the next morning. But still doesn't seem like a burden. Just more of the enjoyment of choosing what watch to wear.

For me it's the anticipation of finding in the morning what watch will turn up next in the rotation.

Re: True Confessions
At night before bed, I pick out a watch just to sleep with....usually one with good lume so I can read it if I wake up in the night. Most mornings I either pick a watch to go with what I’m wearing, or wear clothes to go with the watch I feel like wearing. Whenever there is a change of scene in my day (e.g., going to the gym, out to a bar, etc) I actually consider again switching to a different watch. There have been days spent with 6 different watches...The Sultan of SoWhat wrote: ↑Fri Mar 22, 2019 8:28 pm---cel4145 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 22, 2019 7:00 pm At least half the time I change out a watch, it's at night shortly before I go to bed.

Re: True Confessions
As much as I would like to, I have never owned a watch with a retail value (and not Invicta retail value) greater than $300.

Re: True Confessions
Confession: Everytime I watch a modern James Bond movie (tonight included) I feel the need to own one of the special edition 007 seamasters. Man do I love Omegas and 007. One of these days. I am planning on selling a good chunk of my watches and I think they may go towards a 007 themed watch. I mean, honestly, how freaking cool is this movement?!?
