I just realized that in the last 30 mins while I have been listening to a CD, I have been starring at my SD the whole time.

Do you ever catch yourself just starring at your watch?

Mr. K · 24 July 2005, 09:15 AM

Things of beauty aren't they?

maverick · 24 July 2005, 09:44 AM

LOL They are the cause of many near accidents. =) maverick

RogerF · 24 July 2005, 09:50 AM

ok good, so I am not as crazy as I thought.... oh wait you guys didnt say that did ya?

molex · 24 July 2005, 09:57 AM

The crazy part is, several years later I still find myself staring at my watch at some point every day.

Oh, this sickness does run deep.

No worries, Roger.....only the other day I was staring and staring away at my new TT YM whilst waiting at a set of lights waiting for the red to turn to green.

When the light did eventually turn green, I was still staring at my watch when I got a rude reminder from my wife to move my bloomin' ass!! LOL!

Good job you were not wearing the pumpkin.......................you would never have known when they changed to amber.

Roger, I hate to break it to you, but this sickness of yours is shared by many people on this forum. Why the hell would we be here otherwise. I wear my GMT-II nearly every day and always find my staring at it at least two or three times a day, just to marvel at its beauty. A'int it a great addiction, though.

dman · 25 July 2005, 02:50 AM

I agree with everyone above!! I actually got caught staring at my watch (YM) making the dial glitter, I love the way this watch looks, especially in the sunlight.

Ed,

I'd say I have to give you full marks for consistency. Your love and admiration for your GMT-II has been so consistent over the years that I have to salute that.

Cheers - JJ

What can I say, JJ. I just think it's the most all around beautiful and best watch I own.

When I got my GMT-Master II, in 1986, yes. I couldn't believe I owned such a thing. I'd wake up during the night, and turn on the light to look at it.

These days, nah. Just look at 'em to tell time.

DVR · 26 July 2005, 03:51 AM

same problem , sometimes when I am in a conversation with someone I just have a quick look to admire my watch. it has already happened that the person I am talking with asks if I have an appointment. "nono, am a crazy watch lover" I reply.

JJ Irani · 26 July 2005, 04:26 AM

Welcome, DVR, nice to see you here.

Peter, you've just become too blase and jaded.

Go out and get a Leopard and see if that helps bring back the wonder.

Well, let's see. There's someone here who has 1100+ posts and another one who has 900+ posts and is closing rapidly. I wonder who they could be? Do you think they like to talk? Hmmmmm.
