After you’ve been havin’ steak for a long time, beans - beans taste fine

Now a friend of mine, way back in Chicago
You know, he finally made his pile.
Well he got himself a mansion on Butler and Sheff
An' he was livin' in the latest style;
But I run into him, he was eatin' in a greasy spoon
While parked in front was his big limousine.
I said, "Buddy, you've got so much money
How come you're in here, eatin' beans?"

An' he said
After you've been havin' steak for a long time,
Beans, beans taste fine.
An' after you've been drinkin' champagne and brandy
You gonna settle for wine.
He said "The world is funny, and people are strange,
And man is a creature of constant change, and
After you've been havin' steak for a long time
Beans, beans taste fine."

Now, you know I ran into another friend of mine
In a rowdy old Clark Street Bar.
I said, "Friend, is it true what I heard about you?
I heard you married a beautiful 18-year-old shapely movie star,
Yet here you sit, tryin' to make out with some barfly
Who's too old and ugly to be true."
He said, "Shelley, you're still a very young man
So sit down. I'll explain it all to you.

He said
After you've been havin' steak for a long time
Beans, beans taste fine.
An' after you've been drinkin' champagne and Chivas Regal
You gonna settle for Thunderbird wine.
He said "The world is funny, and people are strange,
And man is a creature of constant change, and
After you've been havin' steak for a long time
Beans, beans taste fine.")


So After you’ve been havin’ Pateks for a long time, Habrings Habrings taste fine!

I’ve considered one too. Go for it!

Unless you already have simple watches and long for something more busy/interesting...

I’d say simple is good, although I prefer the word elegant or pure.

I used to be fascinated by complex movements . . .

. . . and elaborate dials. Not anymore. The best analogy I can come up with would be having a four star supper every evening. Eventually, you'll tire of it. Art

The TZ is very elaborate in its details- exquisite. What are your impressions about them?

Is that the TZ Habring?

I was very close to pulling the trigger on that one!!

NO. Not too simple

as it turns out in the long run - simple is often better

Here is my story

Habring² There is a small little company in the middle of Austria in Völkermarkt that made their own watches. Habring² is the name and it might have been the 2 Habrings as well. The company runs by the married couple Richard & Maria Habring since 2004. Ri...  

Heavens, No! Buy, buy!

The proportions of this piece are so harmonious! OK, probably not what you'll choose to wear to a soccer match. But it'll go with jeans as easily as with a suit. And just give them a call to see for yourself how friendly and helpful Maria is. Go for it. B... 

Just Like That Ol' Beach Boys Song...

... Run, Don't Walk. Great watch from great people. Superb value from the "organic watch farmers".

I worried, same

But I do admire Habring a lot. If you go pre-owned, there's no reason to hesitate at all. But if you buy new... yes... I share your concern. If it is 'boring' to you, you will be stuck w a hard sell watch. Lose big. This matters. No matter how wonderful t... 

Yea!
