    Every day is a school day. What is it about Huit for example that make them so special? I think the most expensive pair of jeans I've ever had were True Religion and now just wear Levis, Diesel and Firetrap. And yes I do spend a lot more on watches!

    Hit are ok, better than most high street junk but all the geek brands just have this edge where the quality and finish and detailing is superb plus they fade and wear beautifully and all do it slightly different. My Full Count are like I'm wearing joggers, so comfy and look fantastic on. I really enjoy the journey with Raw Decent Denim as it becomes part of you its really hard to explain unless you've done it.

    I do tire of all the comments about stinky jeans after not washing, if you want to come and sniff mine (and I know a few members are getting very aroused right now) then you are welcome as you might be surprised (or disappointed) that they don't smell! Infant somewhere on the internet theres an article about a university student who wore a pair for over a year and then did lab tests and more bacteria existed on new jeans in most high street shops.

    Watches, watch stuff, phone, poss.a music device or two. It got me looking at brogues/brogue boots and its educating me in watches, how many there are in how many formats and that there a lot of crazy people who like them. After being on this forum, I doubt I would ever buy a watch from a shop again as I know at some point there will be one I want in SC that will have been carefully owned and will be sensibly priced. Even if I couldn't afford it I'd know someone was getting a good deal eg that wg Daytona the other week or that mint Pelagos last week

    Too many blooming watches!

    Too many blooming wallets!

    Not much else - thank goodness (I was already spending too much money on bicycles, Playstations, AV systems, etc. so was immune)

    Cheers,

    A Stowa that I almost never wear, Should probably sell it
    A Dive computer that I really didn't need, Should probably go Diving more
    Some straps whilst drunk, for another watch that I also don't need and is a little bit broken at the minute.
    The above unnecessary & Slightly broken watch.
    but its also saved my arse by enabling me to pick something up for the Mrs last minute from SC.

    So while still a Net loss, its not a total loss.

    I've been using the 'Insta Natural Youth Express Eye Gel' that was recommended on here. It works well. Have you used it? How does it stack up against the two you recommend?

    A proof set of platinum Britannia coins, some Merc hub caps and a tray of surgical instruments.

    It would have been more if I check SC more often and spent less time in BP pissing contests.

    Watches is the main one. I originally joined many moons back when I was pointed the way of the forum to get a value for a Breitling I had.

    Several years later I've bought a lot of watches that I never even thought I'd be close to.

    Funniest one for me though is recent. The electric mountain bike thread. Opened it thinking 'why the hell would you want one of those, defeats the object'. 30 minutes later I'd ordered one of these



    30 minutes it took me to spend quite a bit on something I didn't ever think I'd need or want

    Can't think of anything I've been 'made' to buy, but it's certainly helped with a few purchases, either directly (eg my incoming NAS and my latest camera for diving) or indirectly, with advise (My current external disk storage, which was fine but I wanted to move the disks I've got raided in my PC out to a separate, always on device).
