Pardon me, but do you have the time?

The simple answer is zero. One mostly does not need a watch, other things will suffice.

But then I can ask: do you have just one shirt? One pair of pants? One pair of shoes? Or maybe you're one of those people who has a week's worth of clothes, and just keeps washing and wearing. Do you have the same thing for dinner every day? How many different types of dinner does one need?

Hah, thanks. It's like when a buddy breaks up with a gf and you finally can tell him how awful she was all along. Let's hope I don't try to get back together with that G-Shock.

At this point, 2. Once I have two the answer may become 3, I'm not sure yet. You have 2 Seikos don't you? It's not all that different. They share similarities but are also different enough that having both in the collection feels warranted.

I guess if one did not need to wash their clothes 1 would suffice. If one was a nudist then 0.

Watches are not a life necessity. Food and clothes (aside from the nudists) are.

You got it man.
We're here for you.

Don't try to find the right one right away.
One day, when you aren't looking, you'll just find something special.
The next thing you know, it'll be hanging on your arm like it's been there all along.

In the meantime, go find a $5 Swatch. Wear it every day, and throw it away when the battery runs out!

I didn't ask how many clothes one needs, I know the answer to that. I asked how many you have.

You tell me watches are not necessary, right after I post this

So I'm just wondering what your issue is with watches.

I don't see the analogy. My two Seikos are as different from each other as from any of my other watches. The fact that they're both Seikos is immaterial. One is a blue and red 1970's chronograph with a leather strap, and the other is a black and stainless diver with a rubber strap.

If it makes you happy to have multiple watches of a similar type and function, go for it. Life's short.

I just found it funny that you would be suggesting to Koop that he had too many watches [of a certain type].

I didn't realize that the topic of wristwatches could be so polarizing. This may have to be moved to the Political Talk thread. :bugout:

How is that funny? Do you think I have 2 of the same watches? Does Wolf? If someone had a shoe collection, but had multiple pairs of the same exact shoe, would it be OK to ask why? Am I disqualified from commenting, because I have more than 1 of something?

They had similar features but were not at all the exact same watch. While they were both Casio ABC's they were from 2 different lines and had different shapes, color accents, sizes, weights and layouts.

I got it, I was simplifying things for the sake of discussion. As far as IRBS is concerned, all my watches have hands, so they're essentially the same.

In the big picture, who f'in cares? Enjoy your watches, or not.

I never said you were disqualified from commenting. Are you saying I am disqualified from finding your comment funny? You have posted you have several watches. All of which have varying amount of differences. Yet you are ribbing JDHK about having 2 watches which may be slightly similar. I found that initially amusing. I will admit it has lost its humour as the thread progressed.

Well I will do my best to reinstate humor in this thread. Maybe I can persuade Meme to have an argument.
