I think the same rules apply to time pieces as they do to kilts...buy the best you can afford, as they will typically last much longer.

I have been wearing the same Tag Heuer watch since 1991. It is a daily wear watch in my opinion, regardless of the level of activity, including deep sea fishing (salt water), bird hunting (sweat and briers), gardening (dirt), playing with the dogs (slobber), and pub crawling (you name it).

I've only had to change the batteries twice in all these years. I clean it periodically with a toothbrush and jewelery cleaner, and it still looks and feels like new.

I promise I'll take really good care of it. In time I'll hand it onto my son but i won't tell him now, in case he thinks I'm going to hand it over now !!!

I was half-thinking that I might get my eyes done this year enshallah ! (if the money's there). Eye clinics here are doing laser eye surgery for "RO 400 per eye" (about RO 900). I think I'll get one done for my birthday and the other at Christmas !
