13 watches ... buy the 14th soon. there is no seat in row 13 in airplane, too
Well spoken, Mr Elmar, and definitely a very good reason to buy another watch.

And, of course, when you reach 26, that's two times 13.

And don't forget, four, and any combination containing four, means bad luck as well, at least in Cantonese. Hence, after purchase no 14, you need to go on. You may give yourself a brief rest at 15, because 16 equals four times four, which is to say you will need to continue buying until 17 ...
