I really do appreciate your post on watches, I have learned a lot from them.

Aw thanks. im not a watch geek, really. Have a few good/intersting ones left. But I do hate seeing something flogged in the mall on the back of faux heritage/history/tradition. Almost inescapable these days- watches, whisky, Porsches.....
I think the marketing tag that makes one gag the most- because you can hear the research that underlies it.... "you never really own a Patek Phillippe...you just look after it for the next genration..."accompanied by images of buff, sophicticated types teaching their small sons to shave or ballroom dance or play polo.... Beats TAG's Brad Pitt anyday for sheer chutzpah.
