Daytona4me Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 I'd like to start a wrist check but a unique one. An ongoing one.. With some luck, we will learn more about each other.. maybe find some new friends with similar hobbies. Hopefully we can keep this thread going.. You have to include wrist shots depicting your other favorite hobbies other than collecting watches. Dont display your whole life in one post.. let's hit one hobby at a time.. but different shots of the same hobby is always welcome To kick it off I will start by posting my obvious obsession with drumming. This is my 2nd pair of gloves this year.. (I'm white collar with soft hands..lol) and my favorite pair of Vic Firth (Steve Gadd) sticks..

Stephane Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 Good idea In my case it's related to music too. I'm too old to be a DJ now as I used to be in the 80ies, but I still love to be on the radio and present a music show It's not me on the pic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobs1971 Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 I used to do this for work. Now it's just a nice hobby.... Seems this is going to be a very musical thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daytona4me Posted October 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 Maybe there is a correlation between Musicians (players and spinners.. lol) and Watches... maybe it's enjoying the finer things in life.. ? Stephane, that is a very nice setup! @scoobs,, I have not learned the keyboard yet but am trying to self teach myself the Hammond B3 Organ w/122 Leslie. I also play LP Giovani Series Conga and Quinta.. best sounding drum I have ever heard! Also mix on a Allen & Heath GL2400-32 and mixing live applications is my strongest point.. but I had to get out of the booth and play a little.. so I am semi-retired from that.

Kiterpete Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 I get paid to fly these - but I enjoy it too so I guess it's a hobby.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 I'm too old to be a DJ now as I used to be in the 80ies, but I still love to be on the radio and present a music show I almost became a music presenter (DJ) like Stephane (in the 70s), but became a music maker instead which led into music collecting & of course you must have something to play your music collection on & once a modder always a modder - in addition to rebuilding vintage watches, I also rebuild vintage hifi gear, cars & bikes But, sometimes, you just have to get away from it all & curling up with a rare 1st edition at the end of a hectic day is also a good way to unwind But I still love music presenting, so I occasionally DJ a pirate radio show on the web Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephane Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 @Freddy: stop posting your Beatles vinyls It's killing me I didn't know that you were into HiFi too...how about restoring a MacIntosh and send it to me Well every DJ is told to be a frustrated musician...so you made it and became musician Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 @Freddy: stop posting your Beatles vinyls It's killing me Sorry, Stephane. The devil made me do it. I didn't know that you were into HiFi too...how about restoring a MacIntosh and send it to me I restored a number of them over the years, but they were all sent to Japanese collectors (who send back large numbers of dollar bills for restored Mac & Marantz). Well every DJ is told to be a frustrated musician...so you made it and became musician Here are a few blasts from my past - 1, 2 or 3.

tmg Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 One of my other guilty pleasures: military gear collecting -some could say I have too much gear sitting around. Some of my Vietnam items Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scoobs1971 Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 Sorry Stephane, but this one is definitely worth repeating . @scoobs,, I have not learned the keyboard yet but am trying to self teach myself the Hammond B3 Organ w/122 Leslie. No modern keyboard or softsynth can beat this beast. Too bad you will always need an extra pair of muscles to carry this around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fidestro Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 I knew I liked Freddy for a reason. I also play gee-tar. I like the Marshall and the Rick photos, but I am a Gibson man myself.

FxrAndy Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 I have had this Harley since i was 22, i paid 29% apr for 5 years becase it was the only way to get the cash then. I have spent many hours working and riding it and the only person that lays a spanner on it is me, any thing that is not harley has been made by me. (the seat was in the hotel room, too easy to steal!) PS the other side is Black! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to worry. I have a 'Paul & a 335 as well. I just prefer the look of the Rick & spent many years picking at it. I have a question before I post mine, are tits a hobby? Only if they are real.

Daytona4me Posted October 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 Ok, I'll throw in my passion for pistols and target shooting. I truly enjoy developing my skills of accurately shooting a pistol for distance and speed. Only carry it now when I am volunteering for events with the Sheriff's Department (deputized) and large bank deposit days. Here is my Omega UPO with stock lume (I am seriously considering buying a gen dial and hands and asking The Zigmeister to do his work) and my Glock 30 .45acp where I lumed the sights with RC-Tritech SuperLuminova.

Dizzy Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 nice lume shot Daytona4me! I like how you can barely see the pistol.. i saw the lume on the front sight and thought WTF is that? Then as you look, then you see what it actually is. nicely done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobbieG Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 I used to be a musician/recording artist/film composer at an international level. I have since retired from that life but I still have a project studio in my office complex. That is why the now dated but amazing sounding O2R console shows up from time to time in wristchecks past... I have since moved on to become a professional trader and subsequently started a private equity hedge fund and quantitative system development company. So likewise, many times one or more of the eight 22" monitors at my trade desk show up in wristchecks these days... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
