Commitment and self-restraint
Hi Ping,
thanks for your comment - I had almost forgotten this post 
!
Like you I would rather manage to cope a year with the same watch rather than the same clothing. How about sports, concerts and holiday at the beach? A Rolex might be suitable for all these occasions, but the clothing?
Kind regards from a spoiled contemporary,

A true lady purist
Dear fellow PuristS, it is amazing in how many different ways and people puristic thoughts can be found! I came across this story a few days ago and you might be interested to read it. In this case a German lady journalist decided to wear the same dress (...
how little you actually need. ?!!!
WOW. i like that. and it is True. like some say: LESS IS MORE :0))) however i still like the Idea of Strap Change every once in a while.. it gives me the Feeling that i have a New Watch ;0)))) Cheers T
I sometimes play the same trick, Tony
you´re right, changing a strap can occasionally give the watch a very different look, that makes you feel you´ve got a new one. Less is more, keep it simple, small is beautiful - these mottos are well known and rarely followed. Or am I wrong? Ki...
Does anyone remember Hetty Green
The journalist who wore the same dress for a year was not the first to do that trick. A U.S. woman financier did it many years ago - or so it is believed. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hetty_Green I didn't remember the name until I scoured around a bit...
Never heard of the lady before
Thanks for the comment, Harv. It illustartes the truth of the words "There´s nothing new under the sun" (Ecclesiastes). But I reckon the lady jornalist must be quite a different person from what I read about Mrs. Green . She seems to have been a bit ...
Interesting......
A while ago I posted a similar topic..... So, if you would only wear one watch for a whole year, which one would it be? Cheers
my choice was
the JLC Extreme World Chrono. When I first got it, I gave my Yachtmaster some wrist time every so often. But after a few months, it was all EWC all the time. For sure, I wore it at least two years straight. I broke my streak about 6 months ago, I strapped...
Interesting ...
PP, that you started this thread (which BTW I did not intend to restart) about self-limitation in watches. Can you post my the link, please? As I wrote to Harv: "There´s nothing new under the sun" (Ecclesiastes). Thanks for your comment, anaesdoc
Give me....
some time to find it.... Cheers ps. I do not mind at all for you staring a thread about it.... the more threads the better in order to instigate any interesting discussion...
Hi....
My apologies for my delayed answer.... I tried to use the search function to find th thread, but, alas, was not successful..... But having one thread does not mean that a new one may nt be started. Happy new year...... Cheers

Hi, PP! Thanks for your attempt to track down the thread. Although I practically do not send SMS, I like to decipher the abbreviations. In my mother language it´s nt always easy, but the real challenge lies in foreign ones . I reckon HNY does not pre...
She clearly has a good sense of style and humor.
Not everyone (I include myself in this group.) would know how to create all these looks with one dress and a variety of accessories. I certainly am impressed. Insofar as watches go, I think I could wear one watch all year round. It would be tough, but I c...
I fully consent!
Good sense of style and humor - that sums it up quite nicely, Daos. As a trousers-shirt-pullover type of person, I am always amazed how the ladies (my own included ) manage to create all these different effects by minute variations of small details that I...
Wow, that is committment!
Truly admirable. I have to say it would be much easier with a watch though...at least for me Sure would free up a lot of time to think about other, more important things. Thanks for sharing.

I totally agree with you...
One timepiece can go everywhere from chic to sporty. I think that my UN Maxi Marine Diver, with its white dial and superb finish would fit the bill nicely. But wearing the same clothes on and on?? Maybe a bathing suit underneath what ever I would wear in ...
Yep, you´re right!
Hi Yves, your UN also fulfills the criteria for an allround watch which goes with different garments. Kind regards, anaesdoc
