# i own three very expensive watches that i've been given through my life
which were less reliable and more easily damaged than my casio. i used to do a fairly manual job, and i got fed up with paying upwards of 50 quid a time for new wanky straps. pluss the flash watches NEVER have standard strap fittings. My dad actually returned my seiko to the managing director of Seiko in japan* when that strap died, as it wasn't available in europe. so fuck flash watches.

# I wish I could
return things to people in Japan in person. That would be an awesome life to have

I would return that Cup Noodle thing I bought years ago and didn't like because it wasn't a Pot Noodle.

If I was super rich I'd buy a plane ticket to Japan just so's I could walk up to Nissin's managing director chap and go "HUNGGRRYY? CUP NOODLE!"

# I had no idea you felt so strongly about watches.
To be honest I hardly bother with them any more, I just have a fairly fancy one for if I need to dress up smart.

# I too am gay for watches
but I know what you are saying about them. IHave a Rolex Oyster perp which I have had years and has sat in a drawer years. I'm still of the age where I am usually pissed at the end of a night out and can still get into the odd scrap. Expensive anything is not a good idea. I have a couple of gold watches including a Breitling chronometer but my favourite for everyday use is my Tag Heuer Kirium which once I changed the metal link bracelet for the Tag leather strap has been on my wrist constantly.
I also remember getting a Longine Int. which was billed as the slimmest LCD watch in the world at 4mm. I have no idea what happened to that.

# Whatches?
I have three Oblong Fancometers with missing straps and a Twixbum Pumparound, but I hardly ever wear that because it smells of bile. There was also a Querrifine Jizzpanner which I dropped down a drain while busy telling people about how many expensive things I own.
