Seeing the beautiful Daytona of Johns (jac67) made me think again about my old GMT. I just felt differently about wearing an old watch as opposed to a new one. Not less anal, just different. Even when it's been serviced and looks brand new you can feel the history and plus in some cases it's a model that you're not going to see on everyone. Maybe they're like people, they're not really interesting till they've acquired some character! You know they've had some injuries, healed and will go through the cycle again! My new watches have kind of a sterile feel. Nuts, huh?
