I'm with you 100%. I just can't seem to hardly wear out any of my cartridge BBs (mostly Shimano, some Tange, some no name).
But in my old age I don't get a lot of joy from anything (poor me) except riding, touring and building up sorta-trick rescues from craigslist for my own personal use.
Every now and then I get a hair up my b*tt and want to purchase a bicycle related item that no sane person could ever really justify to a normie (non-bicycle nut) or SO.
The SKF BB kinda falls into that category. At $170 plus shipping it seems a little extravagant when one can purchase a perfectly adequate one for $25.

The heart wants what the heart wants, reason be dammed!
And to make matters worse no one will even know what you got lurking in your BB shell.
