I overheard at the supply store today someone telling a story. He was relating a conversation with a third party. Somewhere in the words or thoughts were “Hey man, fuck that, this watch cost $8.”

I was not sufficiently curious to inquire further about the conversation, nor did I see his watch, but as a fan of $8 watches, I’m pretty sure I take his side in the conversation.

I accidentally ordered one too many of my US Polo watches. The extra one has been sitting in the basement unused. I fished it out yesterday and can’t for the life of me figure out why I sidelined this one in particular. It’s cosmetically superior to the one I was using in every way. It was a $22 watch and not an $8. I feel inferior to the guy who makes do with an $8 watch.
