When I read about the 'bed watch' and religiously charging the lume just before lights out, I had to show this to the wife immediately. Very funny stuff and hits pretty close to home
It was so true to me also

"You have a beater worth more than your car."
I'm not a 9th circler but this one came close - and just once upon a time (i.e. I sold her).
I'm driving down the road in my 2003 Corolla with a brand new JCL Chono on me wristi.
Happy as a clam, broke as a lamb.
p.s. "her" equals the JLC not the Corolla or... my wife.
And this one might be 11th circle hahahaha
-
Good Lord.
I got a Christmas card from the Rolex AD. Hand written.
And this one should be 10th circle
-
Lol, I know Higuchi-san. Not at Christmas card status yet though.

Hi guys, I read an interesting article from WUS and somehow I found these are true, what do you guys think?
it was written by someone on WUS forum, and I repost it here for fun
The nine circles of WISdom:
1. First Circle.
- A friend showed you his new watch and you thought "Hey, maybe I should get a new watch?".
- You joined some online forums, got some opinions on current watches but liked two equally.
- You bought them both.
2. Second Circle.
- You have four watches for the following uses, work, dress, beater, gym.
- You're in denial... "A collection!? Nah, a collection is 5 or more right?".
- You've just subscribed to 'International Watch'.
3. Third Circle.
- Your 'collection' hit 10 some time ago so you have all the bases covered now; diver, dress, beater, vintage, mickey mouse etc. but you're still looking for another watch.
- You've tried your first 'hand swap' using a bent screwdriver, two cocktail sticks and a q-tip, "Watchmakers? Pah! How hard can it be?".... you now have a 'project watch' box.
- Your wife 'thinks' you're an idiot.
4. Fourth Circle.
- You've just completed your first watch family (same watch in all available colours).
- You know Segal's Law, but you're feeling particulary smug as you've just ordered a Waveceptor (or similar), "Ha!".
- Your total watch count doesn't include 'project watches' any more.
- When you get out of the shower, the first thing you put on is your watch.
- Your wife 'tells you' you're an idiot.
5. Fifth Circle.
- You wouldn't admit it but you pick your watch out first and then select your outfit accordingly.
- You have a 'bed watch' and you charge up the lume religiously just before lights out.
- You're on first name terms with the postman.
- Your wife 'knows' you're an idiot. You agree.
6. Sixth Circle.
- Every morning Your Waveceptor (or similar) wakes you up EXACTLY on time and you use a vintage chrono to time your boiled eggs.
- While you wait, you wind 7 manual wind watches.
- You've tried to read under the duvet, using just the lume glow from your watch.
- You own watches without straps.
- Ramon knows your name.
7. Seventh Circle.
- You don't bother keeping your watches running any more, "It reduces the wear on them anyway, right?".
- You decide which watch to wear based on how close the day/date combination is to being right so you'll have less 'messing about' setting it.
- You've bought your first vintage watch that is 'too good' to wear.
- Your wife suggests a vacation and you realise with horror that you don't have a 'vacation watch'.
- You spent more on the 'vacation watch' than the vacation.
8. Eighth Circle.
- You've bought a watch on the net, when you went to put it away you realised you already had one.
- You don't care about the day/date being right any more, if you need to know the date you look at your phone.
- You associate the word 'vacation' with either Switzerland or Japan.
- You replace your spring bars annually. You've read stories of 'spring bar failure' and the thought alone makes you feel ill.
- Higuchi-san sent you a christmas card.
9. Ninth Circle.
- A new acquaintance asked how many watches you have and you said 'oh, I don't know', not because you we're embarrassed to say... you really don't know.
- Your wife associates the word 'vacation' with Switzerland or Japan.
- You have a beater worth more than your car.
- You get more phone calls from watch dealers than friends.
- You have a piece of paper in your wallet that reads 'In the event of an accident please ensure that my vintage perpetual calendar watch is wound daily'.

Hurt Locker was a good film. I am also a huge Bourne fan and can't wait for this.
That is the split minute chrono for sure. I can just about make out the 'other' pusher.
Looking forward to this also mate, is the legacy another version after the Bourne Trilogy?
-
Ah, I was under the illusion that it was 39.
It IS 41mm. Thanks MM..MM

Looks good. My guess is that Steinhart is a 42mm case. Enjoy your subs.

Hi guys, just wanna share some pictures of these beautiful watches (had just sold the Steinhart )

I hope this can help anyone to show that both TC Sub and BK Sub are great watches to keep

It's many years ago now, but me and a group of guys got invited down to a hotel in Italy with all expenses paid for. As it happened, I got sick with the flu and you can believe I was bummed out. I was really upset - well as upset as I could manage while being sick. The day after, the plane I was supposed to be on crashed. Luckily none of the other guys were from the same city as me, so I didn't know anyone onboard. It was a strange feeling and a strange event all in all.
