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

You're actually getting stranger by the day, JJ I'll go with....neither. I would say I have an appreciation for watches and their mechanical movements

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?

Thanx CJ, the Omega Chrono would be WAY too heavy to wear anywhere else but the wrist...

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?
