A beautiful sunday to be had today.

My wonderful Fiddy on custom limited edition Gunny leather ...

Thought I'd take my FM GP for a spin ... The F1 circus is coming to Singapore in a couple of weeks.

It isn't just watches, my friends. Watches, straps, movements, tools, watch winders, MIG welders, pens, books, gel seats, microscopes, heavy duty power sockets and wall boxes, 12V LED car spot lights... I just love browsing through EBay, Alibaba, online shops, Amazon, Google and anywhere else I can, talking myself into "needing" something, spending days researching something out and nailing down exactly what I "need" and finding the perfect fit, ordering it and then waiting for the delivery. Every morning at work I listen out for the front door aroundabout a certain time as I know that'll be the postman, and also when I see a delivery van drive up. And then I sit there half concentrating on what I'm doing, half concentrating to hear if I can hear Jo's (the receptionist / secretary) footsteps walking towards me to hand over a parcel. Lately she's taken to leaving the large parcels next to her desk where they're closer to the front door and only tells me when I'm on the way home in the evening, so if I'm expecting something big, a couple of times a day I'll wander the long way around to the kitchen so I can see if there's a box there that might be for me... I need two little metal adapters turned up to fit motorbike pegs to my bike, and I'm looking at £600 hobby lathes so I can make them myself. If this carries on I'll end up homeless but surrounded by millions of cardboard boxes! I definitely think we should set up a clinic where online shopping addicts can recover! Help!

It's a gorgeous spring day here in Oz wearing my new Longines today, enjoy your Sunday guys!

Oooooh, I can just see it now. Unboxing boxes videos! And if it's double packed, double the excitement! I don't think the WR will be up to much though

One post, one day here, obviously you didn't do one seconds worth of research before you asked the same question that has been asked about a Billion times on this and every other watch forum. Read, research and then you can come back and ask a more directed question.

Maybe we could use our contacts in GZ to start a line in rep cardboard boxes...first off we need to find a material that looks like cardboard feels like cardboard but I don't think we will be able to put anything in them... After all they will be reps! We Could save a fortune but we would need a new phrase for best OTB !!! Need to ask admin to create a new sub forum too so we can post our boxes

I can certainly relate to all of you, I have had lots of hobbies over the years, some pretty expensive, including this watch obsession that's been going on for probably around 45 years. As I get older, I find that my desires to have "things" has lessened somewhat. Pretty much confined to watches and power tools and equipment that I need to maintain a house and around 20 acres of property. I could probably fill a warehouse with stuff I have bought over the years, things that I "had to have" at the time, but pretty quickly realized, weren't essential. Most of us have way more than we need to get by with, it's just that uncontrollable urge to hit the "Pay Now" button that get's most of us in trouble!!

I'm glad I'm not alone, it seems so sad getting excited just waiting for a parcel, regardless of what's in it. Deckard - think of the basements you could build there!!! Loads of workshops, and talk about a vertical market! Pete - I was thinking about seeing if I could get interested in box collecting, or maybe something even cheaper like air collecting, anything, so long as it's cheap and still makes deliveries!! Hmm, I wonder if I could bottle some Swiss air and then sell it so anyone can build their own "franken" - rep watch + swiss air!

If you ever want to sell those cardboard boxes let me know....

I can relate. First it was photography gear, computers and mountain bikes. Then i moved to fish tanks, from very common tropical fish to expensive shrimps Spent fortune on that..Now i have at least couple orders on the go at any given time. Ebay, Amazon + million independent online shops. Probably only moving to place like this would solve the issue:

Looking great, mate! Just got my TC LV Sub back... Sent from my SHV-E250S using Tapatalk 2

Jlc day today. Cheers Sg. It's still getting wrist action sent from my smart phone whilst sitting on the toilet

Being a pilot always seemed like such a glamorous job, something I feel like I would love to do, sometimes I have a hard time believing the horror stories about pay. If being a pilot has evolved the same way as being a passenger has than I can imagine the glamour is gone. Still fantasise about it though

a gen mov, and its 1:1 amazing work
