I don't know if it's a ritual but every Sunday morning I pile my watches on my living room floor and dance naked around them while singing Kumbaya out loud.
I guess it's more a tradition. Welcome to the forum. |

Is sacrificing animals a ritual or a tradition?
I get the two confused.

We're actually anxiously waiting for a picture report from the Tampa GTG last night.
Come on David, Nick, Rikki, Milos who were there. |

And, in another thread you said you don't like to wear clothes.
Learning and observing ....

My ritual is to bath them everyday then have a quartetto with them. (better a quartetto with 3 rolexes than missionary with just a Patek )

It's a WATCH. Ritual? Like a secret handshake? Maybe a club meeting in a treehouse? Keywords as a moral responsibility? Huh? Like: Whiskey bottles, and brand new cars Oak tree you're in my way,,, |

No, no, no. Not locksmiths, safe technicians.
Are you sure you're a member of the club?

Most here have a passion for watches. No big secrets, no rituals, no traditions.

I think a lot of us have a tradition of emptying the discretionary spending account on some male jewelry on a regular basis.
