I get the self-deprecating humor and chuckled through the entire video. The Over/Under is January 2016 for the next addition to the McMahon Collection.

They're all good watches, but frankly my favourite is the Ecozilla. It's more unusual and unconventional in its design than the others. As someone who has been an introvert most of his life, wearing a weird, somewhat eye-catching watch is a subtle form of rebellion against that personality trait.

Ulysses, the Zilla caught my eye 8 years ago. Now it's been relegated to beater: swimming and jogging. What a shame. An embarrassment of riches.

I'll take the under Lee. Christmas is right around the corner.

I've attempted to curtail my watch buying by shifting my attention to a relatively new hobby----firearms. I've been shooting handguns for a while----and just recently picked up an AR-15 (Sig Sauer M400 Enhanced OD). But even that's not enough to quench my desire for more watches. As I write this, I have my eye on a Tourbillon.

Better buy more guns, Angelo... Obama's gonna get yer guns!!

Ed: That's probably good advice. I go back and forth: Watches, guns, watches, ammo, gun accessories, watches, guns...

Your analogy of the Ecozilla being your "gateway drug" made me chuckle. Mine was an Orient Bambino that was a gift. Prior to that, I never paid much attention to watches but that all changed with the Bambino. I can't even believe that I wore the same watch every day, only changing when it finally wore out. Now, I have to be concerned about "rotation" strategy!!!

"Rotation strategy" is my biggest first-world problem.
