The "Yea, I know it's just a watch, but I wear THIS one because..." thread

I wear the ones I wear because they are my class rings (TAG for undergrad, Omega for law school) and they are the only pieces of jewelry I wear....

Yeah, I know it's just a watch, but I wear this one because it's got over a hundred pieces of finely machined parts that are put together in such a way that it keeps damn near perfect time mechanically with no help from electronics. kind of amazing when you really think about it....

I know it's just a watch, but I researched which one I wanted and saved years to buy it. I looked around until I found one like new with a single previous owner at a decent price. All of that effort makes it special to me.

Besides, I still like trash disco and it dates to that era.

Yea, I know it's just a watch, but I wear THIS one because as Norman Smiley from Saturday Night Live said, "It's good enough, it's smart enough and dog gone it, people like it."
