  1. This one: And this one: I used to have a massive collection, these are the only 2 that are left now.
  2. Them - "Nice Watch, is it real?" Me - "Nice Shoes, are they real?" Them - "Are my SHOES real???? What an idiotic question!" Me - "Yes, quite."
  3. UPO, now with Chieftang double AR:
  4. Can't seem to get this one off, after putting it on an all black Breitling leather strap:
  5. Since putting this one on a strap, can't seem to get it off:
  6. Bah, far too complicated for me. I rarely play this game, but on the rare occasions that I do, my response to "How much did you pay for this watch" is the very honest "Less than I could have, but more than I should have.
  7. Pretty much all Titanium watches. I guess I'm just not a Ti person, it seems dull and uninspired. Even the rather flamboyant DeWitt Academia is going on the sales block because of this.
  8. The times change, but people don't. As a collective we are still as stupid and irrational as ever.
  9. Been a while since I posted, but I'm wearing this one since my Rolex GMT II C died:
  10. I've seen someone wearing a freak at my workplace, very cool watch (and cool dude wearing it). I've also seen a guy hairdresser in my building wearing a fully diamond encrusted Santos 100 that I'm certain is a rep. Got a closer look at the freak, and way more than an eyeful of the diamond santos.
  11. Been thinking for a while about getting a sandave yoda black to go w/my Graham chronofighter.
  12. That screw seems to work itself loose quite easily. Loc-tite it to make sure it stays put.
  13. Hooray for bling, that looks great! Here's mine:
  14. 029 w/ 2892 and double AR courtesy of K2222:
  15. Felt like a steel kinda day:
  16. With all my crystals off at Chief's getting AR, it gives me a chance to wear watches that normally sit in the box unloved, such as this one:
  17. In my experience, the 7750's w/the standard 6-9-12 layout are all quite reliable. Any issues that might occur will generally manifest in the first week. Once you make it past that first week, I've had exactly zero fail. What this tells me is that the movement itself is stable and quite reliable, but there is always the possibility of getting one that has bad QA during assembly, or got knocked around during transit, but these problems show up almost immediately. I don't baby my watches, and the 7750's have held up very well. Just remember don't set the date when the time is between 10pm and 2am, as it will f-up your movement. This is for swiss AND asian 7750's, just a part of their design.
  18. For such a big watch, this one is surprisingly comfortable. I think the wide strap has a lot to do with that. Plus rubber in the summer, good for dealing with sweaty wrists:
  19. I'd agree that Muller is feminine, but Cartier is more metrosexual than truly feminine. I like the Santos and the Roadster, they have style. I like both gold and bling in some instances. If I'm going clubbing or bar hopping in a hip/trendy part of town, I have no problem putting one of these on: If you are going to wear dressy/trendy/flashy clothes, might as well have a watch to match. On the other hand, if I'm going out to a nice restaurant, or a cigar bar, or if I'm traveling on business, I'd go with more toned down style watches like: Casual, jeans or shorts and a t-shirt might find me wearing these: But then other times I want something kinda crazy, so I pick one of these: So, you see, a single watch does not define me. I think different watches express different things, and even crazy looking watches have their place. Even bling and gold can work very well, especially if the drinks are flowing, the music is loud, and you are in the midst of lots of young, beautiful people. Context man, it's all about context.
