Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Watch rant

[Rick (rolindsay]

Hi Fellippe,

I must admit that I am no watch fan. I just have always revered precision instruments. My TAG Heuer was a gift from my employer, over 20 years ago. I have beaten it to (almost) death, wearing it in all conditions from dress to oil change. The bezel is worn with the bits of gold plate accent worn partially off. But inside, it is as new - acording to the TAG repair team. This watch is a quartz movement. 

My recently purchased Breitling Navitimer 01, is mechanical. I keep it on a winder when not worn. Its quite nice, and a very nice little machine - kinda like the 308GTB and Cayman.

Normally and around the garage, I wear a Timex.

Watches are a cool vice, but luckily it's not one I'm heavily into like others (cars, audio).....

Funny story. I have a Robert Lighton watch that stopped working before I moved to Diego and didn't get a chance to get it serviced.....

Then my IWC stopped working soon after I got here.

Given my reluctance to ship/ship back.....I just got a digital watch from the ship's store....

LOL.

Yea, that's crazy!

My 20+ year old TAG Heuer was fully reconditioned by the U.S. based factory repair station. Cost, about $200, including parts. What I really fear is the cost of regular cleaning of my Breitling Navitimer 01. Its still 'new' so first cleaning is yet to happen.
