Add me to the owns a Rolex club. I keep it in the safe because I rarely wear attire for which a $25k watch is logical or appropriate.

That’s how I feel about pizza from Gino’s East in Chicago. It’s been eight years since I had it and every pizza I have had since is judged against that pizza.

None have even come close.

Now I'm sad about pizza.

It's your own bloody fault.
My secret shame is that my daily life is not energetic to keep a fancy self-winding watch running.

Ironically, my fitness tracker has now become my daily wear instead of a watch.

If someone left me a Rolex, I'd sell it and buy a fast car. gently caress watches, it's 2018.

You guys just made me go get my beat old $100 Citizen eco-drive out of my key tray and see if it's still holding time, since I haven't worn it since last year.

Aside from 1hr daylight savings difference, it is exactly accurate. God I love that watch. I even lost it for two years and when I finally found it in a pair of dress slacks, it started ticking right away after a few minutes in the sun.

:catdrugs:
I used to sometimes get a cheap timex for a Christmas or birthday present when I was a kid and never used them for more than a day or two. I just never could stand the feeling of wearing a watch for some reason.

I'd carry a pocket watch sometimes, but eventually realized the world is covered with clocks and I usually don't really care what time it is anyway.

This. I mean I can kind of get not wanting to sell something that was left to you, on the other hand I really try not to accrue more stuff and I might not be poor but £25k would make life less stressful and I'm sure "be less stressed and give the kids more life experiences" would make a better inheritance than a watch I wouldn't wear (unused to watches), couldn't wear(would have to take it off all the time at work), wouldn't dare wear (A watch worth more than the average annual income in this country) and doesn't even keep good time.

It depends whether it means anything to you. If it doesn't, then sure, sell it. But if it does, it's $22k. That's £16k. Sure, I'd like to have that, but not at the expense of some kind of family heirloom that matters to me.

Doing that will force me to admit that I may die and I am planning on living forever.

Ironically, my lack of pension-planning has the exact inverse justification.

I don't, but it's definitely been on my mind. I don't have anything of value, but power of attorney would be good, so would a living will.
