What else do you collect?, by Deleted on Apr 16, 2014 15:44:54 GMT 1, I got rid of one of those fancy digital Boss pedals and ended up playing just using a thing called a Hot Cake from New Zealand. Loved it. I've heard a lot of good things about the Hot Cake.

Loved it. I've heard they're double good. Dear though aren't they? I can't afford to rebuild my pedal set up at the moment which is mainly Boss and electro harmonic

What else do you collect?, by ABC on Apr 16, 2014 21:45:35 GMT 1, I just spent 16 squid on some wetsuit shoes today, then put them to good use by spending 2 hours in near freezing UK waters on my SUP board. I then went shopping caked in sand and spent some more money on some fish for dinner, hollywood life all the way for me.

More money saved for art that way.

Less unexpected is the money spent on beer, fish & chips, pasties etc

When I was young and single I never had a watch, never wanted one, didn't care what the time was and spent everything partying on weekends, football with the lads etc..then you get older settle down, have an amazing family - but you still need something not a vice exactly but the little things like a print,a watch, nice bottle of red or wearing a new pair of Clark shoes with fresh socks on a Monday to the office. They are little little things which a guy needs or he'll go insane.

What else do you collect?, by Poppy Sunshine on Apr 17, 2014 7:48:49 GMT 1, I cashed my gold and bought a 1974 Rolex submariner with the red writing (a "red sub" as they call them in the trade).
I'd wanted one forever and it means a lot to me although it might not be a perfect collectors piece. I've even swapped the steel strap for the same one that Sean Connery had on his in gold finger just to help live my little dream.
It gets worn every day as I believe it should and as such it continues to pick up the odd scratch here and there. I prefer that to hiding it in a box like all these collectors toys you hear about which have sadly never been played with. It will get treated to a good clean up when I hand it over to my son.
This week I managed to track down a Genuine Rolex dealers wall clock too. Not one of the thousands of fakey ones all over ebay and the internet but one which is being collected this morning and is being taken down from the actual Rolex dealers wall. Nothing special to anyone else probably but I like these little touches of authenticity.

What else do you collect?, by Trevorm on Apr 17, 2014 8:44:56 GMT 1, I mentioned to my daughter a few years ago that she could have a Rolex when she qualified as a Doctor. It got a mention a few days ago as she's coming up to her finals in a few weeks. Any clues where I can get some discount!?
How do I keep it quiet from her two brothers

They have a nice upside down nurses watch at Argos for ยฃ9.99 made of microwaveable rubber which comes in several colours.
A very thoughtful alternative which I'm sure would be appreciated.

I bought a Nomos watch recently and I love the simplicity of its looks but I'm finding I just never wear it.
If I'm not working (building trade), I'm doing something else where it could get damaged.
Probably would have been better going towards artwork if I'm honest
