Any watch lovers here????

Or an airplane?

 

@Hawk518 will take sticky airplanes moved with a forklift for $500, Alex!!!

 

Clearly, the plane went right over my head.

 

Yep...it's all about the relationship with the AD. Buddy picked up a white stainless Daytona for less than msrp.

 

I had a funny interaction at a meeting last week. I was sitting next to someone at lunch and noticed his watch.

Me- "Is that a Sea Dweller?"

Him (disgusted)- "No! It's a ROLEX."

Me- "Okay"

 

Did you open hand slap the stupid out of him?

 

It was so weird. You expect someone with a sea dweller to be an enthusiast. If you just want the status, you get a sub or president.

 

Thats one of the problems with Rolex owners, some of them are not watch guys.

 

I'd almost argue that a lot (I might even go with most) of the guys with a Rolex get them because that's what you're "supposed to have."

Money can get you a nice watch but it can't fix stupid.

 

LOL what a maroon. You should have politely demonstrated to him his own stupidity in front of everyone.

 

I bought an app called mainspring and regulated my 007 last night as it was running a bit slow. It gained 6 seconds over the last 12 hours so I got it a lot closer (it drifted to lose ~2minutes a day). I used a $20 watch tool kit off amazon to open the case and adjust it. Feeling good and hopefully one small tweak and I’ll get it <5seconds per day which should be good for a cheap non-Certified watch.

And for the seadweller idiot, you gotta call him out in real time. “Oh, I know it’s a Rolex, it’s just usually people have a sub or explorer, but not as many commit to the seadweller. Nice choice, can’t wait to see what your next one will be!” Lol

 

I would have said "That's like saying it's not a Testarossa, it's a Ferrari." Then again, that tool probably is clueless to what is a Testarossa also.

 

That’s hilarious, I had a similar experience.

Suffering through some annoying small talk at a party with a female friend’s boyfriend. He was wearing a sub date, me an Explorer II. We had nothing in common besides a presumed affinity for good watches. When the subject of cars came up and he started going on about his new Tesla X, I wanted out.

I tried to find a polite ay so say I don’t give a fuck, so I just said, “I’m not a car guy at all, so I know nothing about them, but it’s cool technology so I understand why people get excited.”

Not enough for him. “You have to drive one, you’ll change your tune.”

I try to stroke his ego. “Oh, I’m sure I would. I’m just not in the market for a $100,000 car so why tease myself?”

“Actually mine was over $140,000.”

“Wow man, that’s some ride. I’m glad you like it.”

He’s not impressed that I’m not impressed. “It’s worth every penny if you can afford it.”

I fight to find common ground. “I just don’t get into vehicles, but I respect it. We’re obviously both watch guys, and a lot of people can’t justify the cost of a good watch either.”

“Oh yeah, what kind of watch do you have?”

“Explorer” I said, assuming I didn’t have to say more since it was two feet from him.

I cringed when he said, “Oh, well, this is a Rolex, so you’d shit if you knew what I paid for it.”

Jesus Christ...

 

I don't know if anyone is into them but I bought a Garmin Fenix 5X a few months back and wow its bad ass. I don't wear anything else anymore.

 

I’m still running with a Fenix 2. I want the one you have but I’m a cheap bastard.

 

Might not seem strange to others, but, it was strange to me that a guy I talked to recently has a Lambo Huracán who insisted it's pronounced Hurricane.

 

Best thing to do to guys bragging on price is to reply "oh yeah, I bet that thing was all of 6 or 7 hundred bucks!" Their face will be priceless

 

Haha. I don't think I've ever seen anyone wearing a deep sea in real life. It is HUGE.

 

I know didley about watches,but looked up the price of the deep sea.Harley crap thats some money!!
What kinda range do you guys spend on a watch? Your lowest to highest?
Ive got 4 invictas,and one seiko I was pretty proud of. I guess im the 600 katana guy trying to be like the real riders
