I have a few watches including some vintage watches.
Ironically the most accurate watch of the bunch is one that I paid the least for. It has a radio in it that contacts and synchnizes with the NIST Atomic Clock 6 times a day. The NIST atomic clock is accurate within 1 second every 15 million years. My favorite is a circa 1939 Girard Perregaux that was a first wedding aniversary gift from my mother to my father when they were married in 1941. My mother gave it to me when my dad passed away and although it is not extremely valuable it is irreplaceable. A few years ago Girard Perregaux intorduced a similar looking watch called the Vintage 1945 and I bought one and wear it frequently. The new model is an automatic and the true "vintage" watch has to be manually wound. CA

I have plenty of watches (Swiss background) and no Rolexes. However, about 6 months ago I stopped wearing them. I saw that it was a real Gen Y thing not to wear a watch and rely on the ever present cell phone. I have found it totally liberating. I'm never late for anything and I don't stress about being late by looking at my watch all the time. I miss the nice jewelry, but enjoy the reduction in stress much more. Go without for a week, you might have the same experience.

I was at a bar with some friends a while back and two of them were wearing gold Rolex Daytonas. I mentioned that I liked that watch but but had second thoughts about spending that much on another watch. Their response was that anyone could purchase one but the real status of owning a Rolex Daytona was if you got one by winning the Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona (which both of them had - one of them twice). At that point I no longer lusted after a Rolex Daytona.

Not long at all since we all knew what the likelyhood of me winning the Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona is.
