Hey Nick,
Absolutely 100% right !
It is a hobby to realise that time is running fast (sometimes) ... use the time well!!
Everybody should follow his own nose and do (or buy) what he want (and can afford).
There are no limits; and for me, the most important is to have joy every day on it.
Some others see it as investment, and have expensive ones, OK.
Some others just digital ones, OK.
Some others just cheap ones, it is all OK, if you are every day happy with it!
Let's all together enjoy all kind of watches and also the technical side and the photographical side!
And ... the world arround us is anyway a bit more then just watches! But the watches remain important to us !!!
