Not gunna a happen.

Run a bootleg time service out of Northern Australia ( bit like Centrebet 😗 )
Buy a heap of burn phones and charge $1 for time checks for everyone else that can not have watches.

Make money of all the watchless time junkies on watch forums. ( you know the ones that use apps to see how correct their watch is ever 20 minutes )

Don’t all the crocs in Darwin have clocks in them anyway??

But ... without a watch ... how would you know?

Someone gives you a mint CK-2915, for one hour, while you're at Hooters, for the same time duration. What do you look at? And, if a certain somebody is tempted to answer...

I've only ever been to a Hooters once ... while the waitress lived up to everything Hooters seems to espouse, I spent most of the time looking at the rack of ribs and wondering where the rest of it was.

Never actually been, myself. Not much of a window shopper; I like to handle the merchandise.

Live happily ever after. 😀

Raises an interesting question: the collector "tipping point." That's when all the piles of straps, bracelets, parts, boxes, and watches become a burden rather than a passion.

Spend more time at Hooters...

Tempting to figure out whether they are original or not 😀 looking desperately for untouched ones 😁

Use one of the other 7 clocks in the jet.

It's weird, I have time staring me in the face on literally every display in the cockpit. But somehow it's still easier to look at my watch.

If I could not buy watches anymore, I guess I could focus on doing a better job funding my son's college savings account 😗

I'd be one step closer to that "desert island" where my daily cares and concerns would meld into a hazy substance fueled dreamlike state of bliss where time really does not matter. Except for when the direct deposit hits. It's just one addiction after another really . Isn't it? Or not. I don't know.

There are generic buckles in stainless, yellow gold plate, and rose gold plate all over the place. I have Omega crowns that I no longer know what watch(es) they fit on. Mismatch springbars litter the bottom of one plastic bin. One box has at least a half dozen Spiedel stretch bracelets inside.
