I spent three month's salary on the most beautiful wristwatch I've ever seen. It was second-hand but it was in good nick. I was so scared of scratching it or bumping it that I was constantly conscious of it on my arm. It was a bit like where your fingernail is hanging off and you know it'll mean pain just putting your hand in your pocket.
A chap at work, who is also a watch enthusiast, pleaded on a daily basis for me to sell it to him. Eventually, I realised it was a millstone round my neck and I sold it for the same price I bought it for, with the intention of buying a cheaper watch.
That was three years ago and my inability to find anything I like quite as much has led to me not wearing a wristwatch at all for those three years. In effect, the most beautiful watch ruined all other watches for me.
In the time I've been away from IIN, I got over the wristwatch thing and I wear one again. Probably the cheapest one I've ever owned, but I like it even if my friends say it's gay.
Wha's the most extravagant thing you've obtained and are you happy?
