I had a piece of jewelry on a layaway for myself, and when it reached a certain amount I cancelled that and moved the funds to the purchase of Jim's watch. Then Jim decided he wanted to wear the watch only when dressed up. Otherwise, he was happy with his fifteen dollar timex. But, in 1992 he had a much more elaborate wrist-watch that broke at one point. He goes through phases. >which > was something he described to me when I asked him what > style of watch to get.
