I buy CDs by the truckload, but the real expensive one is photography. I've just bought a Canon 5D to replace my 350D, plus an L lens.

But I simply don't like watches. I don't enjoy having an expensive watch, I'd rather buy something else with that money.

But, each to their own.

Needless to say, I'm not into jewelry or that stuff either.

Unfortunately (according to my wife) I'm into that too. I have a 40D kit that includes a couple of L-lenses.

I just like nice things

I can understand why, they are very nice looking watches (hence my copy).
