er der nogen som ligner ham... - m.dk - 14-05-2008 <!-- s:lol: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing" /><!-- s:lol: --> James Dowling fra TimeZone --------------------------------- Hi Folks I was talking to a friend the other day and I noticed he was wearing a new Datejust; I found this interesting as the last time we had met he was “flaunting” (and I do not use the word lightly) his new Jaeger le Coultre Master Geographique. I asked him about his new watch & he told me that it was now his everyday watch. This got me to thinking about other folks I know and the watch owning progression they seem to go through and it seems to run like this: 1. Their “pre-watch” life 2. They become aware of watches and buy their first mechanical watch, probably something like a Longines, Bell & Ross or Tissot. 3. They enjoy the watch & buy their first watch magazine. 4. After reading a few issues they become dissatisfied with their watch & they trade it in & then buy something like an Omega. 5. After a while they keep the Omega and buy a Rolex 6. They find themselves wearing the Rolex most of the time 7. They discover TZ or some similar forum and spend a couple of hours a week on it 8. They discover that Rolex is NOT the best watch in the world 9. They buy their first vintage watch 10. They are spending an hour a day on TZ 11. They begin to develop an urge to buy a mechanical chronograph & buy a Speedmaster Moon watch 12. They drive out of their way to look in the window of their nearest IWC or JLC dealer 13. Their computer now opens TZ when switched on 14. They start to ask questions on TZ about prices of IWCs and JLCs & import duties & times from the far east 15. They buy their first “expensive” watch on line 16. They start to look at TZ classics to try and understand the differences between Blancpain & Brequet 17. They are spending more time on TZ than with the family 18. They can not remember where the Rolex and the Omega are 19. They can not decide which of the Blancpain “Trilogy” is the best for them. 20. So they buy a Royal Oak 21. As the price of the watches increases, they are satisfied for a shorter time 22. They believe that their life will not be complete without either a Lange or a Patek 23. They buy one 24. They become obsessive about the watch, walking into other people so that they will be able to avoid walking close to any solid objects in order to protect their watch 25. They start to look for their Rolex 26. They find the Rolex and start to wear it almost all the time 27. They buy a season ticket to the opera, (it’s a chance to dress up & wear one of their “expensive” watches). 28. They now spend only an hour a week on TZ. Is this anyone you know?? - Peter V - 14-05-2008 ...det er lige på! - ET - 14-05-2008 Det er mig.....er nået til nr.20 - gider ikke opera - Mads Gjødesen - 15-05-2008 Ikke helt ved siden af. Jeg er nu heller ikke til opera, men er da nået endestationen hvor det hedder vintage Rolex og high-end <!-- s:lol: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing" /><!-- s:lol: --> Desuden er tiden på nettet kun ca. 10 % af hvad den var engang. Jeg ved præcis hvor der skal kigges og ens basisviden er efterhånden så stor at man ikke længere bare tåger rundt på nettet for at suge info om ure til sig. /Mads |
