OK I'm gonna level with y'all, the "mechanical watches are irrational" troll was a response to @BobLoblaw misinterpreting something I said (a handful of posts after I said I owned a Rolex, no less). I had this whole gag planned out. But work picked up and I didn't have the time to carry it through.
On the real real, other than the Rolex I own a couple other mechanical watches (and some quartz beaters). I get why mechanical watches are cool.
I'm trying to figure out another nice sport watch that isn't quite as loud as a two-tone Submariner. I've had my eye on an Omega Aqua Terra for a while.
