I love my Patek Philippe watches..... however I am a very humble man.

I come from less wealthy means.

I found myself wearing Rolex most often as I did not want to disturb my Patek pieces.

I feared I was not worthy of such pieces.

My family never owned a fleet of oil tankers or a huge brewery.  My family were ethnics with a think Eastern European accent.

I then sold all my Rolex, expect my Rolex Explorer II 16570 White Dial, so I could enjoy my Patek Philippe.

Beautiful traditional line up.

I am of the opinion that unless one has procured luxury products through dishonest means, then they should be enjoyed. For most people that I know who own expensive watches, they represent important milestones in their lives and one's successes should be celebrated. Regards, Baruch

Couldn't have phrased it any better. Especially in today's world full of PC people and their demands for a generalized sense of guilt, these are some genuine, beautiful words to kick off a new week! ;-) Cheers. [nt]
