Do you prefer...
To buy a watch to keep for life, or do you have every intention of selling them after a given time? What's your reasoning?
I like the idea of purchasing a watch for life. I look forward to the warm sentiment that goes on with a trusty companion every time it mounts up for the day. I know I'll keep my PR100 for life.

I don't ever buy a watch intending to flip it later. But sometimes the watch doesn't turn out as I thought it would be. Sometimes I am unable to overlook what I thought would be a forgiveable flaw (size, usually). Sometimes my taste evolves. So they get flipped.

I buy a watch to wear for life, chances are I could die tomorrow.

I have never sold a watch. I have given away watches I do not wear to friends and relatives, but when I buy a watch, I buy it with the intent of keeping it for life.

And your tactical watch could be responsible for it.

After my collection grows and I'm a bit older, I hope to do the same. I would love to gift a few watches to family and friends.

I certainly plan to blame it, just hope my under-roo's are clean when I die.

Planning to die with your pants on, eh? You're ambitious. I like it.
