Edit: Ha, just read your comment on yesterday's WRUW.
Yes, my Nomos Club and Sinn 103 are off to Germany - or will be when the FedEx man picks them up on Monday. I’m glad to have had the Club, having eyed it from the day it was introduced, but was ready for it to go. My fascination with Glashütte is set aside until my lottery numbers come up! My fascination with Frankfurt never ran so deep.

I’ve only had two, but your talents are more various than mine.

I think your current 3 are all excellent and not the usual suspects either.

I started out with a modded Seiko Orange Monster. I've owned a bunch of fun watches since, I only regret selling a single watch in the last 6-7 years/dozens of watches.

That's just about the craziest thing I have ever heard. I still don't know why I haven't bought one of those yet.

I’ve had the Datejust four years, the Explorer two, and the Hawkinge about two-and-a-half.

I remember it well. I was recovering from a ruptured Achilles’ tendon. My wife was taking care of me, making sure I didn’t do too much. My wife was out for the day. I drove 150 miles to Lymington to buy a Rolex.
That was a good day.

And that proves watches are actually our real Achilles' tendon.

You’ve discovered that 2 should have been 1.80.
To save you further effort, 4 should have been 3.94 and about 2.5 should have been 2.59.
Jesus wept.

While I'm not an expert here, I can't help feeling that fractions of a watch don't count unless you can show us the hacksaw in action...
*edit* Oh... I don't feel silly at all
