You know your life is in balance if you can indulge in hobbies. I've had many hobbies over my years and hadn't dumped old hobbies, I just spend energy in the current one. I thought I was going to collect a lot of watches, but instead, I'm modding the watches I have to make them exactly what I want. Got watch parts arriving today and looking forward to the new look.

Having a hobby is something all people should have for a healthy lifestyle. While not a part of the watch collecting community, I’ve had a love for tabletop war games for years now, and just began learning how to play the guitar. They’re a great way to relieve stress, anxiety, and meet a community of people with the same passion as you. Don’t let the opinions of others taint something you love

Thanks for the shout out Jeff but my knowledge really isn't all that impressive! Just wanted to make the point that the movement in the Tuna is not your ordinary quartz movement. Also, great video, something about watches seems to get non-enthusiasts on a high horse. I frequent this website which lists deals and bargains from various online vendors. Whenever someone lists a luxury watch deal, everyone comments about how wasteful and vain people must be to spend so much money on a watch when a Timex tells time just as well. There is some truth to that but most people don't seem to see a problem with buying a BMW when a Kia can get you from A to B just the same, or buying a luxury condo when you a modest apartment provides adequate shelter. Don't know why watches get so much hate.

I hear you. Imagine the cost of buying $300 wines, which get consumed and leave no trace other than your "tasting notes," which you leave in your wine diary. While my watch addiction can get the best of me, on my good days it's a fun hobby and being knowledgeable about watches is a huge part of the fun.

Watches are just my outlet for my obsessive personality type. I have lived in the 3rd world, in fact I was born there. As a kid I collected used deodorant cans! I could walk past anyone and name the fragrance they were wearing! The 'obsession' is not a first world problem. Thanks for sticking up for us. PS I love that white dial!

Great video Jeff. Ding ding ding you get the prize. That is so true about people dismissing our hobby or passion for something as a “ first world problem” I hate that expression almost as much as “it is what it is” and “whatever”. People need to grow the f**k up and live and let live. So sick off hate filled people. Ok, carry on Jeff. Regards Dave

Why would you have to protect against SJW? I like watches and I want universal healthcare, affordable education, a living wage for all and an end to the for profit prison system. I can give time and money to noteworthy causes and still buy myself a nice watch or two.

I think the exact amount should be studied and discussed but $7.25/hr is nor survivable on. Most working class people I know are working two jobs to survive and provide for their families. I'm not talking an insane amount but enough that a person could work one 40/hr a week job and be okay. And a wage that kept pace with inflation. And I can want these things and like these things and if I have some extra income and I want to buy myself a watch I think I can do both. SJW's can like watches too!

Jeffrey McMahon I would feel the same way.. I will ask you a question?? I believe you are an intelligent man and you carry yourself like a very knowledgeable individual right? Do you know who Christ is? Have you read the Bible? Religion aside and political correctness aside, have you read the word of God? Not just any God but the God of Israel? If you haven’t, I urge you to do so. It will serve you well..

Jeffrey McMahon you might call me a weirdo but it’s ok! God said people would call me all kinds of names. 33 The word of the Lord came to me: 2 “Son of man, speak to your people and say to them: ‘When I bring the sword against a land, and the people of the land choose one of their men and make him their watchman, 3 and he sees the sword coming against the land and blows the trumpet to warn the people, 4 then if anyone hears the trumpet but does not heed the warning and the sword comes and takes their life, their blood will be on their own head. 5 Since they heard the sound of the trumpet but did not heed the warning, their blood will be on their own head. If they had heeded the warning, they would have saved themselves. 6 But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet to warn the people and the sword comes and takes someone’s life, that person’s life will be taken because of their sin, but I will hold the watchman accountable for their blood.’ 7 “Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the people of Israel; so hear the word I speak and give them warning from me. 8 When I say to the wicked, ‘You wicked person, you will surely die,’ and you do not speak out to dissuade them from their ways, that wicked person will die for[a] their sin, and I will hold you accountable for their blood. 9 But if you do warn the wicked person to turn from their ways and they do not do so, they will die for their sin, though you yourself will be saved.
