·Today I was tagging in this post on Instagram:
Did I miss a memo?
Did they change the meaning of good?
Are others seeing something I’m missing?
I looked at the picture for a while, observed the moisture damage to the dial, the damage to the subdial from the sweep hand, the mouldy lume on the hour and minute hands... and struggled to see a “good” dial and hands.
I commented as such, and was promptly untagged, I guess because I wasn’t prepared to confirm the owners statement.
There are lots of words you could use to describe it, but to me, good would never be one of them... patinated, interesting, damaged... but not good.
What the heck is going on, when watches like this, are thought of as “good”?
Like what you like, buy what you like, but don’t try to convince me that back is white, and up is down, I’m too long in the tooth to buy into such nonsense.
And so endeth my rant.
