I'm not going to front. I wish I could own a nice expensive (assuming finely crafted) wrist watch. But I don't.
My German-American grandfather was a watchmaker by trade. He didn't make watches though, but he repaired them. Of course the industry for watch repair has all but since died out today. (though born and raised in USA my grandfather did not learn to speak English till rough 13 years of age, so, he spoke with a heavy German accent)
Germans are well respected around the world for craftsmanship in the trades and attention to detail, often accompanied by beauty. They have something of an international reputation of being behind the closed doors sexual "freaks" too. I remember one Asian guy referred to the Germans as the Japanese of Europe. :lol:
Question: Would any girl here drop to her knees once she observes a nicely crafted, expensive time piece strapped to the wrist of some man she digs? (It's a light hearted question only partly serious, don't get all up in arms over the question)
