So I got drunk and bought two watches... Do you like them BIG?

If I could get on 6 month buy timeline all would be well after one week get the itch!

[dovo1695]

That's why I patented the 6 month part (it's the only part of my process that's patented). If I didn't stick to the 5-6 month inactivity period, all hell would break loose

[samsnelling]

I don't think I've ever bought a rep without having a few beers first. Here is my patented rep buying process:

 

1. Get the itch several months after my last rep purchase

2. Research the heck out of a rep, burning 5-10 hrs on the forums

3. Get lost in the minutia of the merits of version X vs version Y vs Gen

4. Get discouraged that the date wheel font is off by .00001 mm vs Gen on the numerals 6 and 9

5. Throw in the towel and decide not to waste my money

6. Forget about it for 2-3 weeks

7. Have a couple beers, remember the watch, grab my laptop, buy the watch on the spot

8. Repeat in 6 months

 

It's not a terribly efficient process, but by God it's gotten me a nice little collection over the years!

 

 

This is the perfect explanation of the replica purchase cycle! #4 could not be more spot on.

 

 

But I have to agree with Mike -- This is more like a few week cycle

Wow they're an right pair of mingers. I'm sure that they looked interesting when you had your beer goggles.

... after one week get the itch!

Mike, they've got penicillin for that....

[Mike on a bike]

Unfortunately been there done that also!

Bought one today and just sent a PM on one RWI and this sober.

I'm trying to think of something cheaper you could move over too Mike. Matchboxes from the famous clubs? Lighters? Model aeroplanes? Stamps (cheap ones that is)? Steam engines? Tractors? Fish? Snuff boxes? Monocles of the rich and famous? Star Wars toys and memorabilia? Gold bars?

Ok, the last one would cost about the same over a year, but after you've got one, the rest all look the same, no sunken DWO problems

Also wealthy people can get drunk.

Jacob Co created the watch for them too, when they're drunk and don't know how to trow away nearly 7000$

Wholly smokes that is hideous....

Sent from my droptop using telepathy.

[fraggle42]

Hideous and scratches on the right side of the right watches bezel. Careless! (Buying it and scratching it!)

[dusk]

I'd rather have mine at £20 for the pair. And yes, spend $7k just to bash it off a wall. Now that's just careless :-/

[martijnp]

Did you order from miniinthebox? 

They got watches like this for a few bucks!

Well, better crazy watches than writing SMS/whatsapp messages to the ex GFs

But drunk texts can be very funny tho

I don't know Tom had some pretty good times.................now if only I could remember them all!

[tomhorn]

Well, there's a big difference (for me at least) between having fun while getting drunk, and getting drunk and setting off to do something (which never ends well for me) .... chicken and the egg thing I suppose, but I do like a good tequila ....
