    I thought you'd say that you divorced her and married younger one who made you forget about watches...

        Pretty sure that's not covered in the warranty, but you can't really blame the watch - right tool for the job & all that.

              2.5k - money well spent though, I could sell it for that again now if I wanted to (bought it 5 years or so ago)

                Gosh, I've never lived in a red-light district but I have worked in a few!

                When leaving the office after working late and having to leave via the back entrance because the front doors were locked I often had ladies ask if I was looking for business.

                I must have set my prices a little high since strangely I never managed to turn any of these leads into actual sales.

                  Sounds like an ideal job, except for the lack of sales. A bit of a bummer when you have to pay them.

                    I didn't get it for bling but because I feel the plain understatedness and veiled quality fit with my own view of myself.
