So, we have people into audio and speakers being called "audiophiles"...

What does that make us?

Horophiles?
Watch-o-philes?

A lot of people seem to think we are idiots, so WIS is very apt.
Mainly because we spend so much money on watches that do the same as a £10 quartz.
Hell I love being an idiot don't you

My wife just calls me an idiot!

Spending so much $$$ on a watch

Taking pictures of my watch

Cleaning my watch with warm water and soap

Posting pictures of my watch on TRF

Wanting another Rolex

Freaking out when I bump it on something

Going into the bathroom at night to see the "LOOM"

Stoping at AD's just to look (same as strip clubs, right?)

Looking at everyones watch

Looking at my own watch all the frigin time

You're right on all counts Mike

I was taking a wrist shot at a football game in he fall and my wife said to me "Taking a picture of your watch for your forum buddies again."

I associate my looking at everyone's watches to how women always look at each other's diamond rings
