I am really interested in gaining an understanding of all the shades of pro/con for terms like 'automatic'; 'mechanical'; 'self-winding'; 'co-axial'; 'ETA'; 'swiss movement' and other watch-vocab terms that directly relate to the fundamental anatomy of the watch. When I see a watch in a street vendor's stall I want to know how to size it up and determine its quality. It's odd but I have not yet caught any Rolex fever yet. They put me off. it is awesome when someone goes out of their way to educate a general audience on a topic like watch lore.

It’s odd but I have not yet caught any Rolex fever yet. They put me off.
