Great article I agree with pretty much everything there and it applies to me. Particular the purpose built toolness and the toughness. Rolex watches are exceptionally well made and yet look great.

Cool. I didn't know that the original Explorer that went to the top of Mount Everest in 1953 is still ticking to this day! Thanks for posting.
