       | Personally I love mechanical things, and collect both steam-
       | engines and watches. Half of my collection of the latter are
       | cheap Soviet pieces, often older than I am, and the rest are
       | high-end Swiss watches that I buy as/when I can find them at
       | reasonable prices.

       | Anyway my dream watch is thin but not so thin:

         | Who is Ben and why are your watches so scared of him?
