I tried to trade the witschi watch tester for a breitling once many years ago. Flatly rejected. It was worth a shot.

It is also a great example of the concept if you are worried about damaging it in "normal" use, you could buy it but you can't really afford it.... Also goes for cars and motorcycles etc.
I wear a cheap Timex 99.99% of the time because I can suddenly go from casual cool to pounding the crap out of a project. I have no idea of the monetary value of my good watch but it belonged to my next door neighbour and was given to me by his daughter when he passed away. To me it's priceless.
I like watches with stories. Monetary value is less important imo. What is the watch?
This is me. I have no problem cleaning the snow off the car with a snow shovel. I finally got a plastic shovel.

Obviously a fake. The second hand is definately not "sweeping". It's also slow.Peasants. This is my Rolex:
Awesome. Is that one of the annoying stretchy watch bands that used to be popular? It's interesting that they installed that small sliver of the 6. I don't know how I feel about that.This is the watch my grandfather used to set other watches:
Be careful with the anti-slip grippy no go stuff the watch is on. Over time it breaks down and releases goo ime. Not sure if the goo will hurt the watches.
Yes, I think the original band was leather, but my sweat eats them. I ended up getting the band for free, as it was the only one in the shop.
I just put the watch on that stuff to take the picture.
Do any rolexes have two digit dates below 10?
Some of you would cry if you knew how many expensive watches I lost, or destroyed as a kid, just by wearing them.
fixt.
Nah I still got that, and it wasn't that expensive at the time.

Pre construction condo developer wanted 35k a year for a parking spot. 
Huh? That seems wrong. Sure, they charge a lot to buy spots but I've never seen a normal sport rent for that much.Pre construction condo developer wanted 35k a year for a parking spot.
Me too. I thought $35K to buy was a deal but rent???? $3,000 a month?????
Is there tax on parking fees?
The top end of pricing for buying a parking spot is 120K in Toronto. For 3000/month, the parking spot better include the coach house above it. Rental parking spots top out at about $500 a month with valet service.
For $3,000 a month you could hire a chauffeur and let him keep the car at his place. School bus drivers don't make that much money.
My father was chauffeur for a cabinet minister in a different country and when he dropped his boss off at the gentlemen's club he was given a few bob to spend at the pub down the road. They were both likely partly tanked on the way home but driving around a cabinet minster is a get out of jail card.
