And as usualy you've added an interesting issue to the conversation.
It is certainly understandable that one might enjoy owning watches he doesn't necessarily enjoy wearing. That can't be considered a mistake per se. It's a choice, neither right nor wrong. It's a mistake, maybe, if it prevents you from owning others you would enjoy wearing.
Thanks for giving us something else to ponder.

Watches you "feel"
I spent some time tonight gazing into the dial of the La Tradition. I am still enamored of it, and still mesmerized by it. I don't wear it often, but when it is on the wrist, I "feel" it more than some other watches. I don't mean that it is heavy, or unco...
Yes, I know what you mean.
The Freak can be seen in the same category, IMO. I guess it is all due to the " intellectuality " of the watch? SUPERB shot of the Tradition, my friend. One watch which is still stuck in my mind. Best, Nicolas.
Nicolas, admit it:
there are many watches stuck in your mind! And then you start posting about them and stick them in everyone else's minds, too! :-) Best, CaliforniaJed
When it blends with your culture and your environment that’s when you know the feeling.
It can be any watch really, a vintage 5513 to any mighty watches. I think it is about a personal appreciation, sensation and feeling, not easy to share, although I am sure that many here know what you are talking about ;-)
Yes, sometimes the watch "feels" right
because it is the right watch at the right time, if that is what you are saying. But there are watches, like the La Tradition for me, that simply make themselves known to the wearer because of what they are, inherently. Does that make sense to you? Best, ...
Yes it does make sense. We are I think speaking the same
only expressing it differently. What matter is that it makes sense, I think ;-)
Great picture!
It's a feeling that's hard to articulate, but I understand what you are getting at. Some watches are absolutely magnetic on the wrist. -- you can't tear your eyes away! The La Tradition is certainly one of those pieces in my book. It's the history of that...
Thanks Daos!
Magnetism is defnintely part of it. Maybe the motion on the dial is most of this, for this watch, anyway, but there are others that don't have as unique a dial that nonetheless draw us in, and make themselves known to the wearer at all times. Sometimes, m...
Yep got exactly what you mean
The sensation of a special watch after some time of not wearing it is quite sensational... That's the beauty of having a few, the more you have the more you can experience it ha ha call me greedy. On a serious note some are more magnetic than others,,, la...
Magic is another good term for what I am trying to describe, Mo.
And I can certianly understand how the Royal Oak weaves that magic. Best, CaliforniaJed
My sentiments to a "t" . . .
. . . when it comes to my Karree perpetuals, Jed. Nothing feels more satisfying on my wrist than one of these . . . ...
Not at all surprised to hear that, Art.
It is easy to understand why. Best, CaliforniaJed
And watches you don't.
Jed, as usual you have touched on an important point. What is surprising, I think, is how often it is overlooked in the quest to satisfy other priorities. Many of us as we collect watches strive to acquire certain items: we have a shopping list of complic...

Two from the same make that I "feel"
there are something about MBF LM1 and HM3 that creates that feeling"...not in the physical sense of the relatively large watch case.....but the intrinsic and emo-evocative. best, Horo ...
Maybe...
In fact, I think I know how you feel as I recognize myself in what you wrote. But I must add I have this feeling for all of my watches. I wear them alternatively, for 1 to 2 months period each. The cycle must help beeing excited to wear them again and thu...
