Putin wears a 60k patak also, where as our president bush wears a 50 dollar timex (special el-presidente edition by the way).

1.A person self trained to sleep in 5 positions with wearing his/her COSC certified chronometer in bed.

2.A person who opens the back of a new Patek on the first day of acquisition and hand winds the rotor to tighten up the main spring.

3. A person who takes his 200 meter water proof Rolex SD off from the wrist and puts it into the deepest pocket before walking into a storm without any rain gear.

4.A person who waits every 5 minute in front of his radio controlled clock in order to adjust all his/her 14 mechanical watches to the accuracy within -2/+2 seconds per 24 hours.


5. A person who can memorises all serial numbers of the Rolex watches made in the past 60 years but keeps forgetting the wifes wedding anniversary.
