This will be a gift from a bunch of long time friends to a friend that is not a watch wearer, but is never on time. Lately, he's forgetting outings due OR rocking up a day early
Not ready for dementia/alzhmers yet (thou I'd love to strap an Alzheimer's clock to his wrist) so am looking at day date watches. The more over the top and funny, the better.
Alternatively, am thinking of assembling something with a NH36 movement with a blank dial and not putting any hands on it.
Any suggestions welcome.
I've lowered my threshold I used to think $2K was unachievable when I wasn't working
When I had my first job (20yrs ago) I was spending average $2K a month on luxury items (ie a watch or a guitar) sometimes more. Shit got out of hand.
Then around 10 years ago I started getting $500 watches thinking that was a sweet average spot.
In the last few years, I've sold most of and kept ones that had actual good memories attached.
My most recent watch was a Citizen Automatic that didn't cost much, half was paid for by a bunch of ex-work colleagues that I worked with for between 5-14years. loved them a bunch and I think about them all the time when I look at it,at my new job...
And I'm about to drop $2K+ on a watch...
