I used to live in Beijing we would go to Silk Alley every weekend and buy watches which of course were copies. There were a lot of beautiful watches and if you knew what to look for you could get some really nice ones. I probably had 50 or so at one time but eventually gave them all away. I haven't wore a watch in years since I started using smartphones.

I don't own a watch. No interest at all.

My cell phone tells time just fine.

Yep. Total vintage watch nerd. Particularly with Omegas. Latest is a '68 Omega Dynamic with a brown and grey face and original Omega band. Self high-five. Watches-to-buy-dot-com. Bad bad bad addiction feeder for those that love vintage watches. No affiliation.

For me my grail Omegas would be the original Constellation (pie pan dial) and pre-moon Speedy Pro. Both are incredibly overpriced now due to high demand.

I'm with you on this one. I've rarely worn a watch ever since I started carrying a cell phone. I used to wear long sleeved dress shirt and use to hate wearing a watch since the long sleeve would always get caught on the watch.

However, I do own several watches and one I do cherish is the one that came with my car. I've ony used this once.
