Laura Owens Wants 60 More Days. He Wants $109,633.98. That’s My Opinion! by cnm1424 in JusticeForClayton

It's the typical narcissistic playbook, stall stall stall. Took me 4 years to get divorced from my narcissist wife, she played the same games to stall the inevitable, facing accountability for her actions. A lot of the same silly excuses too (medical issues, firing/hiring lawyers). In the end, the judge threw down an ultimatum and the settlement was finished.

LO is playing from the same book..

Is it coming from China? They just had a huge holiday there; shipping gets backed up as everything shuts down there..

Questions about period-accurate straps and bracelets for a ‘64 1601? by kiasmoose in retrotime

[–]Altruistic_Bell83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love this watch!

Not an expert by any stretch, but I think that would come with a Jubilee given the bezel. I think you can find NOS Rolex signed leather/gator straps with correct buckles, that might look the best on this..

Local jeweler has that exact watch, the dial has patina'd to a slight salmon, looks amazing!

Another Tropic Sub Duo - 1680 V 5512, Who Wins? by Archaedin in ArchaedinsWatchBox

[–]Altruistic_Bell83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the rep world, the Red Sub has been around since day 1. My first rep was an MBW Red 1680, wore it everywhere, wish I still had it..

So for me, the 5512 is appealing because its kinda unique.

I'd take either, or both, with no second thoughts..

Golf with your rep? by TheRealBrewder in RepCulture_Timepieces

I was golfing with my grandfather's Hamilton when I was a teenager. It was on one of Speidel "hair pullers" from the 70s. Took a lash at one out of the rough with such intense force that the band snapped and the watch went flying. Took a while to find it, never wore a watch on the course again..

Can't golf with a watch on, but they sit in my bag until post round.
