I've noticed this. You of all people may appreciate this, but I wear a watch because of its "survivalist value." It's a Breitling, and is worth considerably more than my car. I got it back when I was going out with a woman who worked for Breitling, and who could get it for me at 30% of list price. I keep it because it's way cool, keeps reasonable time, and because at any point if the world *really* went to hell in a handbasket I could walk into a storefront in almost any city on earth, sell or pawn it, and walk out with enough to live on for a few months. Nothing quite as cool as "instantly liquidatible assets" in a fragile economy, eh?
