Watches - Passion or a Fetish?

Well, guys...we are all gathered here for one good reason...watches; and what follows next like friendship, kidding, laughter and fun...well, that's another aspect to this crazy scenario!!

So what is it with us and watches? A Passion or a Fetish?
While passion has been identified by the dictionary as "strong emotion", "sexual love" as well as "strong enthusiasm" for a person or an object, Fetish has been identified as "worshipping of an inanimate object".

Are we actually worshipping an inanimate object or do we have a strong emotion and enthusiasm toward watches?

Vote now with comments please!!

Cheers - JJ

I think JJ has a passion for his sheep, and a fetish for his watches, so he has the best of both worlds!

I would have to say no to it being a fetish or I would have to take several links off and start wearing my watches lower down on my body istead of my wrist...

of course reselling it would be pretty difficult I guess?

There is only one watch that qualifies to be worn "down there" and or course that would be the Rolex "Prince Albert"

CJ I guess that is why JJ bathes his watches so often and it is such an erotic event at least according to this post I found in the Jokes/Cartoons section... it all makes sense now!

Thanx my friend... when I see the enthusiastic and plentiful responses by you and the other regulars on here it inspires me to spend some time and effort on my fave forum.

Also I keep trying to make that Tossers List, am I close yet?

JJ,

I'll do whatever it takes my friend... shave a sheep even! On a serious not though can ask you a question?


After you shave the sheep do you find them even more irresistable when they are naked like that???
