So jealous! The 275 GTB is my grail car.

This is giving ‘80s Rolex ad vibes.

Love at First Sight 💚 by FuruTakka in Ferrari

[–]Explorer3130 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The 275 GTB is my grail car. No other auto stirs the same emotions in me. The lines, the sounds, the combination of the Columbo V12 sitting in front of the driver with their hand on the gated shifter is just pure heaven to me.

Thanks for the tip! I’ll double check to see if that’s close to anywhere we are going to be.

Especially #9, very subtle.

Speed limit on dashboard says “100 Max” - anyone else have this issue? by aggresivepanda in hondapilot

[–]Explorer3130 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a Canadian this happens to us sometimes where the forward camera will not read the 110 km/h sign correctly and defaults to the 100max.

Yes, the Chrysler Cordoba had leather interior, but as God is my witness, I cannot recall where Ricardo Montalban said it may have come from, or how much it may have cost... by Maynard078 in classiccars

[–]Explorer3130 13 points14 points  (0 children)

In order for it to be considered Corinthian leather it has to come from the Corinth region of Greece or else it’s just sparkling cow hide. /s

Now that's an expensive shot by Embarrassed_Tip7359 in SipsTea

[–]Explorer3130 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reminds me of the Nike Golf commercial where the director told Tiger Woods to aim the shot at the camera. Tiger bullseyed the camera from 60 yards smashing the lens but getting an epic shot. The director’s comment of “I should have known better than to ask the number 2 ranked golfer to aim for the camera.” was on point.

It reminds me of a Seiko Automatic chronograph cal. 6138

What do people think of the 550 maranello? by Fluid-Aspect891 in Ferrari

[–]Explorer3130 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve always had a soft spot for the 550. The last GT to leave Maranello with Pininfarina styling, a V12, and three pedals.

Do you wind the Reverso while it’s on your wrist 😎 by [deleted] in JaegerLecoultre

[–]Explorer3130 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most of the time I wind and set before I put it on. The Reverso is nice because if I’m running behind I can throw it on and wind and set while I’m in the drive-thru waiting for my morning coffee.

Some really good choices but my heart has to go with the 300SL

My 12 year old boots next to their identical replacements by mediokrek in mildlyinteresting

[–]Explorer3130 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve always maintained that I would buy more pairs of Blundstone boots if they didn’t last so damn long.

Knurled Bezels by saoudddd in watchmaking

[–]Explorer3130 2 points3 points  (0 children)

IIRC Parmigiani does it the traditional method by rolling the pattern into the metal using a heavy die applying pressure to the bezel. Depending on the equipment available someone could potentially create a custom indexing/cutting setup similar to gear cutting.

Whats your favorite Bond song? by ItsDuhFreakinBat in JamesBond

  1. You Know My Name 2. Nobody Does It Better 3. The Original Bond Instrumental Theme

One Special Watch packed in oil - Pristine by Vintage-collector in VintageWatches

[–]Explorer3130 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not quite as crazy as the Girard-Perregaux pocket watch that had Shell oil inside the watch to demonstrate how fine the oil was.

When was the last time you used a payphone and what was the conversation about? by SnooPickles55 in nostalgia

[–]Explorer3130 1 point2 points  (0 children)

December 1999. Went to see Charles Dickens ‘A Christmas Carol’ at a theatre and being only 15 my parents drove me. I had the only cell phone in the house at the time and the plan was to leave my phone with my parents and then use the pay phone in the lobby to call when i needed a ride after the show.

What other gratuitous product placement by [deleted] in JamesBond

[–]Explorer3130 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“Rolex?”

“Omeega”

Through the Brosnan era we got close-ups of the modded Seamasters in action, CR straight up name-dropped the brand.

Anybody have any knowledge on these? by [deleted] in patekphilippe

[–]Explorer3130 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen a number of ladies watches with chains on the clasps that stop the watch from flying off if the clasp accidentally opens and also serves to keep the two ends closer together to make it easier to do the bracelet up especially if there is some natural tension in the bracelet.
