thank you Ken for your voice of reason and great analogies ..... making sense of it all  KenC wrote: Once again, a watch is a "thing", a tool to be used (and I agree, not abused). As a comparison, I offer...golf clubs. They look so great when the are new and shiny, and then you play with them. You hit off the turf, out of sand bunkers, off roots, and in the desert, calichi and even rock. They get scarred, scratched, chipped and even dented because they are used...occasionally, even a shaft will break or a head will come off, but stuff happens because you use them.

I couldn't help feeling sentimental as I recall my dad telling me about his fond memories of my late grandfather,who was a watchmaker. My grandfather had his own brand of watches in Hong Kong and my dad's late uncle used to build watch cases. Even my father had to work as a case polisher, it was demanding job for a twelve year old. But with a household of 34 mouths to feed, there wasn't much money. Watchmaking and watch collecting runs in the family, for which I am proud to be associated with. My dad's brother was a watchmaker. My dad's half-sister has her own retail store in Hong Kong. Now, it's my turn to carry on the tradition. As a retail watch professional, I take my job seriously with enthusiasm and passion. Sometimes, is difficult not to feel sentimental but it happens.

Simon...try taking your job "not-so-seriously". Lighten up and enjoy it. If you start judging your customer's, you will lose them...and the sale!

Thanks Ken for the advice. :) 3-T was the only opportunity to express how I felt, otherwise I would loose the passion and the enthusiasm for my job.
