I am glad I didn?t pick the Omega as the IWCs are now commanding higher prices. When I left my wife, my watches were in the bank and I wasn?t petty enough to get them out. Just took my bike, my stereo and my speedy, and run. The whole event cured my watch collecting illness. Thank god.

These days, I feel there is fine line between a collector and a guy buying a lot of watches - the same fine line as between a fisherman* and a fool standing at the edge of the water ... how times change.
