Share something funny (preferably related to horology) in the past. I shall go first.

Back in the day, I thought RWI stood for Rolex Watches Inc.

In the 80's when I first started hearing about quartz watches, I thought for a few years that they were powered by the crystal and not by a battery. Yes, I was pretty dumb as a kid.

Back in the day, I used to think you couldn't lose money on Rolexes. Then, when I was forced to sell during the financial crisis, I lost my @ss selling my SS Sub.

I’m ashamed to admit that I’m my younger days, I thought open heart dials were cool. I atone daily for this sin.

You just reminded me of my dark past aswell... I too am guilty of that. Alongside with that, I used to believe the overlly inflated MSRPs of Invicta. Thinking that I got a high value timepiece for such a deal. I fear that I might wet my bed tonight...

When Swatches were popular the first time around in the L80s-E'90s?, I wore one on each wrist.
