TeeJay Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Due to CNY, there's no way of me ordering a new dress watch for my wedding. I have approximately 9 'safe days' for shipping. After that, I won't be at home to receive it. I'm debating... Should I wear this: Or, should I buy a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piratedzeus Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Which these choices... I say.. No watch. All about the bride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demsey Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Buy a Vach from PT, it'll be there by Monday. Or, tight budget? Borrow a Vach. Anyone in U.K that can ship T'J a watch A.S.A.P? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chino Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Maybe you should borrow a gen Maxi Marine *someone* around has in his wrist... ...and if you're on a 'regular' suit, I'd take the Rolex, you won't stand the parmifake rep strap.

Demsey Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 I'm on a very restricted budget That's the beauty of my plan; If I know this group, and some I do, you will get an offer of a loner. I would step in, but the best I have to offer is the GMT Master II on black croc, it would do in a pinch, but with the time restriction, the USPS and Royal Mail and 'Murphy' you would still end up wearing the five pound quartz. No time for debating catagory, class and type I suggest Vacheron Constantin Malte Perpetual Calender SS Black Dial on black calf, THE gentlemen's watch for men In gold if the stars are aligned, but not that hideous 'rose gold', looking like the bottom of a well polished kettle. At best. .................I'm sure the British contingency here have them falling out of the watch boxes in good number. Nine days of *Bumps" awta do the trick.

Thanks, amigo, it's much appreciated That would be one heck of a loaner The one thing I would have to say, is no gold, as I'm alergic. I know, it's supposed to be a hypo-alergenic metal, but any time I wear it, it brings me out in a rash... No other metal does it, not even cheap nickel-plated junk watches, but gold, happens every time I'll still be picking up the Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PM will be sent !! Thanks, bro, and PM received You might remember that we'd signed an online registry of marriage just over a year ago, and I've considered Emily to be my wife since that day. But that wasn't legally binding. However, the 3rd of february, that is going to be a legally binding ceremony I posted some pics of my completed wedding ring a while back in 'off topic' Thank you again for whatever you've got planned, I know it will mean a lot to Emily too, especially as she had a pretty severe shock this morning (we were the ones who had to formally identify her dad's body... I've seen death before, but this was her 'first corpse', and even though she had considered their relationship over because of his behaviour, something like this, well, it's always going to be a shock...) So thank you, this gesture will make her bad day a good one You truly are my brother How about one of these? Sorry the site is in another language, but the pic is there.

The atmosphere feels calmer, the air itself seems clearer. That can only be a good thing Indeed, the gift is much appreciated As for plenty of little TJ's, having spent just over a decade zapping my nuts by keeping a cell phone in my hip pocket, I think cloning is the only way we'll be having biological offspring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andreww Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Thats the spirit gentlemen! I know that watch will have a lifetime of significance for Teej, not only because he wore it on his wedding day, but because of the spirit in which it was acquired. Good on all of you!
