    Default The hobby, not me...

    The hobby is Interesting, I am probably not. Got interested searching for watches on eBay using "perpetual calendar" as the search string. Patek Phillipe kept coming up and I was in love - but totally unable to afford one. So I started Googling until I found this sight. Interested in Planet Ocean or YachtMaster, also, but my wife will keep me from getting too entangled...

    All you need is a private bank account and paypal. Only wear your watches in the office. Your wife will never know.

    Hint: women can't tell one Panerai from another. "No, Dear-- same watch different strap." also, the more you bore her with your excitement for Panerai, the less likely she will ever bring up the subject again. So sit down with her and show her pics and tell her about the historic line, pre V, etc., and u shall be free to pursue collecting with few questions.
