In Reply to: Fancy Knobs and Rolex Watches..... posted by Todd Krieger on June 20, 2006 at 16:56:08:
" Some people think one is crazy to blow ten grand on a Rolex watch.... "My ten-dollar Timex keeps just as good time"...."Let's state the facts as they are. It's really simple:
The Timex (Casio or whatever) keeps much BETTER time.
It's just not a fine piece of craftsmanship and everything that goes along with that.
I prefer Patek anyway... ;-)
If I'm out on a speedskating workout or race, I wear my Casio. If I'm dining at a fine resturant, I'd wear a Patek. But I would really rather spend such bucks (and do) on instruments, sheet music and study trips.
