Hi... I'm Jacko, and I'm a watch fetishist!
(now feel free to go: "Hi, Jacko!")
You may have seen me around the board these last days, spamming the forum with comments on ancient threads and a few new pics. And like some other guy said: I feel like I've come home! I've had this fetish for as long as I can remember. The funny thing is, I wasn't a watch person myself until like 20 years ago (I'm approaching 40) when I bought my first watch. Before that I've had a Casio digital and a Swatch, but wasn't really into wearing watches. But as long as I can remember I have noticed watches in magazines, movies and on people in public. During my teens I developed a habit that still sticks: it's impossible for me to pass a watch dealer without checking out the windows. And whenever I notice a cute girl on the street, it's usually because I noticed her watch. I'm sure this is something most of you can relate to!
My preferences are wide, tho. Just as much as I love a girl wearing a big, chunky men's watch like a Rolex Sub or Daytona, I love a feminine, classy watch like a Rolex Datejust or a Cartier Tank. It's not so much the brand as it is the style. However, G-shocks and cuff watches does nothing for me. And bracelet watches like those dreadful D&G's makes my skin crawl!
Anyway, just thought I'd say hi. Nice to be here!
