The Spectacular Nature of Modern vs. Vintage
Staring at my vintage watch circa 1965
Stainless Steel was real back then
Not like the plated shiny shit
they use today
Our modern world
is an imitation of its once great self
Insist on quality
You'll never go wrong there
I'm an older bloke
I see reality for what is
Not so much sentimental
Just pragmatic as the day is long

Planned obsolescence + cheap materials and labor. Sad state of things.

Every time I wear that watch I marvel at the difference between then and now ....
