Rolex Deep Sea.

The Obsessive loves watches: classic watches, and watches with good stories. Watches are the only jewellery a modern man can wear; so choosing a watch requires important consideration, as we’re likely to be wearing it for a very long time, and possibly passing it on to our children. We tell ourselves this to justify the purchase, but as now we’ve got www.watchfinder.co.uk, we know we can always trade up or sell it if we’re in a financial spot of bother.

A watch is a deeply personal statement. We move through watches as we age and we recognise periods of our lives by the watch we were wearing at the time. Like your first car, you always remember your first watch.

I think watches choose us in the same way as Ollivanders’ magic wands.  All my watch purchasing has been impromptu immediate gratification: there’s something about them that just makes you want them. However, being obsessive means that we’ve always got a shortlist of watches we’d like to own and we’ve almost continuously got an eye out for the next watch.
