  Most of the regulars on here recognize Lily as the sage of all things "haute". To wit, I ended up agreeing to attend an exhibit on "Horology". I only agreed to go because I thought it had to do with loose women. Nope. My "sophisticated" buddy explained that horology had to do with watches and clocks..that sort of thing. I thought, OK, well I needed a watch anyway, so let's see what they have.

  Now, I'm an ex-soldier..a meat and potatoes guy. I was expecting Timex, Casio, Seiko, maybe a high end watch like a Bulova...you know, watches...pffft

  There were some names I actually recognized...Rolex ($58,000) and Cartier ($52,000), and Omega (James Bond fame), but most I'd never heard of, so I made note: Hublot ($45,000), Piaget ($150,000), Patek-Phillipe ($100,000), Richard Mille (price by request?), BVlgari, Blancpain...and many others. These watches didn't include taxes, which in Ontario is 13%. On the Piaget, that's an additional $19,500. Almost 20 grand ..in taxes..for a watch?

  They even had used watches..a "vintage" Rolex went for about $25,000. My new Chevrolet didn't cost as much as a used watch...oi vey

  ..Walmart, here I come.:)

  Dude, I don't know ya from Adam but seriously, chill the heck out.

  This started out as a fun post from CT and you have twisted it to be about PDB.

  I don't want to get into a "thing" with you, but you're being a d*ck here.

  Cheers,

  Peter

  Alas Ducky...while you're clearly one of the select few in tune with Henry's world view, you weren't the intended audience. I posted this for someone with culture and a sense of humor.

  ps. good luck finding your crayons.:)

  Take a chill pill yourself DUDE!  Lily is a good friend of mine and pdb took an unwarranted shot (IMO) at her.  But then again, only pdb knows what his posts mean.......unfortunately.

  The term comes from the Greek word ''ΩΡΑ'' which means time/hour.

   

  Cheers pal.

  Yep, seems like no matter what the original post is about, someone's gotta make a snipe at it these days. Where's the light hearted humor gone? That's it, crayons at 20 paces, lessin' ya got one of them gol' dang golden putter thingys, then make it ten.

  Doc :)

  Seriously Paul, relegating these watches to merely telling the time, is like referring to a Mclaren 650, or a Bugatti Veyron as a way to get around town. Technically, both statements are true...but.

  ps: If I could afford any of the above, I suspect my date would be pretty hot..lol
