What do you do for work?

[P9CLY]

Was your question answered?.

The replies were kind of typical after the first few replies.

From Dissecting your original comments I gather that you are asking us whether we are wealthy? You kindly hint to us that you think you are. Slightly smug? Slightly nosey? After all why should anybody need to tell you about what they do for a living.
Divisive? Some of the older folk on pensions may live in more straightened means or may not, however they bought classic watches when they were not considered such luxury lifestyle items and they had financial capacity to buy them.
How should enthusiasts feel about your comments who have intricate knowledge and lovingly comb car boots and general sales for watches of some significance but may cost a few hundred pounds.
It's no wonder you received such an array answers.
As others have suggested you may need that holiday to put things into perspective.

Lol!! The irony!

[Carlton-Browne]

Mostly screwing around, cleaning plates, tensioning flirts, cleaning and lubricating stones, adjusting end shake and positioning the cock

I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on embarrassed parping couplets, felching pens and bevelled spill-trunions?

[seadog1408]

Lol!! The irony!

Anyone admitted to being a watch dealer yet?

[SSTEEL]

Im a self employed Service Provider in watchmaking. Before this I lived in the UK where I had my own telecommunications company, contracted myself out, planning, implementing, and building new mobile phone networks around the globe.

The downside with the latter, once every country had working networks I was out of a job, that was after training many young engineers everywhere to maintain the radio sites.

I'm a cannibalistic manatee wrangler and so my wife.

If you genuinely did forgo an exotic holiday, then you wife / family also made a sacrifice just so you could have a watch.

If you are going to buy a big boys toy, common sense dictates that you make no sacrifice what so ever. That means you can buy it without batting an eyelid and certainly you do not get into debt or forgo a holiday or car etc.

If you have to make a sacrifice, then something, somewhere is wrong.

Agreed. If you can't afford watches with your spare cash, and are having to cut back on important stuff like family and holiday's, then you have lost your way IMO

To be fair, he never said anything about a "family" holiday... He may well be single, and chose to forgo a singles holiday to buy himself something else... Just sayin'

[Beaunidle]

Currently I sell plasma guns (that's actually not a joke) but a nice young lady called Amelia has a vacancy in a health food shop in Buckinghamshire which I'm considering as her freezer cleaner apparently stomped off in an unreasonable huff recently.

I do work with a parping couplet but I don't think they ever get embarrassed,
This fletching pen sounds interesting I may need to see if I can squeeze one into the workshop.
I prefer chamfered over bevelled

Are you dyslexic? I said 'things like family AND holidays', not family holidays. Not sure why you are pushing the point.
