I haven't watched the video, but it's not pretentious to like nice well-made things, especially things like craftsman-made watches which embody a certain amount of tradition. People who appreciate nice cameras should understand that. Nevertheless, I have some nice watches (none of them are in the Rolex league) but since I started wearing a Garmin smart watch I haven't worn any of the nice ones. It's not about accuracy of time-keeping - nobody really needs atomic-clock standard accuracy in everyday life - but the other stuff that a smart watch is good at. But if I want to bling it up I'll wear one of the nice watches. > > > > > -- > Larry Colen l...@red4est.com http://red4est.com/lrc > https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/collections/72157612824732477/ > > -- > PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List > PDML@pdml.net > http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net > to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow > the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
