Oh, that was just a figure of speech. Thanks to clever accounting, my household technically falls into the "low income" category this year, hence the wonderful tax return headed my way that I'll blow on even more watches and having my asshole scrubbed once I'm allowed back into Japan next year.
But the Omega Moonwatch is sort of a cult classic with watch queers. As the name suggests, it was the "first watch on the moon" and therefore commands a ridiculous premium. To be honest, I never really cared for the look of the older models but the latest (2020) version with that super gay bracelet has been growing on me. Not enough to goad me into dropping over $7k for it, but I'm getting a slight tingle in the nuts. Plus I've convinced myself I "need" an automatic chronograph so I can perfect that "bi-curious sporty" look that complements my color-coordinated neon yellow jogging outfit.
Reality is, however, I really can't afford anything right now. I racked up a five-figure credit card bill last month and paying that off this week wiped out my "fun fund." Back to zero and then there's Xmas right around the corner. I really need to be born wealthy in my next life.
