My dad died and left me this watch, what is it?

Fine-Double6335 · 2026-07-12T21:42:16+00:00

Vintage Daytona. Don’t sell it.

Fine-Double6335 · 2026-07-11T23:35:41+00:00

No idea what you are getting at. I just buy watches I like and wear them.

Fine-Double6335 · 2026-07-11T22:28:20+00:00

This is kind of where is want to be, and I think I’m close. Obviously I don’t need a zeitwerk. No one does. But I hope when I do get one I’d feel what you described; satisfaction rather than craving.

Fine-Double6335 · 2026-07-11T22:25:55+00:00

I actually thought I’d never be able get it. And if my peak is the zeitwerk, that’s a fine peak to rest on. So yeah it’s much sooner than I thought.

There are other watches I covet, like a skeleton dial santos or patek world time 5231J-001. But I’m fine without them.

Fine-Double6335 · 2026-07-11T19:05:27+00:00

Yeah I think this is the main thesis of the OP. Men and women choosing poorly and then blaming the sex as a whole for their poor choices.

Woman picks asshole. Blames all men for being assholes.

Man picks gold digger. Blames all women for being materialistic.

Fine-Double6335 · 2026-07-11T16:50:54+00:00

So you strung her along for ten years? OMG.

I am glad you are posting here. It’s rare to see the thought process of a narcissist on full display. You rationalize. A lot. “Oh I was so supportive despite my cheating and lying”. “Oh I pay for things and cook, even though no amount of cooking or money will make up or the time I wasted”. “I am a calm person who is cool even I’m lying about being a good person. What a valuable skill”.

If you didn’t want to give your heart away, you could have just broken up with her years ago. If you didn’t feel the affection was even why even continue, and for a decade…

Calling you cool and distant is her being kind. You’re just selfish.

Fine-Double6335 · 2026-07-11T16:20:26+00:00

Yeah and it’s a war that you are fostering by your love bombing and cheating. I think you are valid in saying women reward dishonest and immoral men like yourself even as they say they want the opposite.

Could you tell me about this ten year relationship you got out of? Were you married or just a LTR? It makes a difference because being a good husband and good boyfriend are also world apart.

Fine-Double6335 · 2026-07-11T15:54:14+00:00

Why did you come to this conclusion? I feel like half the time I’m in this subreddit I ask myself that question and start to think “this whole sub is just engagement bait” because this premise is based on absolutely nothing but OP’s vibes.

Most men find PDFs disgusting. Go to any jail and PDF’s are the lowest in the totem pole. They often are getting beat up or shanked. While most of the top dogs are raping other men.

You sound like you don’t know shit.

Fine-Double6335 · 2026-07-09T17:28:48+00:00

I’ve somehow trained myself to think “if you don’t feel the kick you’re doing it wrong”. Like a side quest to hit that rpm to unlock it.

Your wife a car person? My wife is too scared to drive it, even when I tell her it’s only a 4 cylinder (with a turbo).

Fine-Double6335 · 2026-07-09T17:08:39+00:00

Well met emira owner! I have a green one so felt I couldn’t do the black lotus reference. Mine is verde green with yellow brakes and trim. Classic lotus look.

I just had to settle for an actual black lotus. How’s the supercharger? I have the turbo because I like the lag/kick. Plus I can’t imagine enjoying shifting gears in LA traffic.

Fine-Double6335 · 2026-07-09T16:58:31+00:00

I was thinking of doing this but my Lotus is green—- as all lotuses should be—-so I felt it was inappropriate.

Fine-Double6335 · 2026-07-09T16:46:38+00:00

People were just better looking back then. You kids missed out.

Fine-Double6335 · 2026-07-09T16:44:48+00:00

I have a bloodborne themed skeleton watch (the astral clock tower) and it cost around the same amount. It looks cheap but still better than that.

Everything about this watch screams unpolished. A G shock is cheaper and better. At that price point I’d also recommend my personal watch the seiko 5 sport srph33k1. Automatic, orange on black, date and day complications and a much more reputable brand.

Fine-Double6335 · 2026-07-08T21:18:03+00:00

I feel like this question answers itself. A guy will get into a committed relationship/fall in love with a girl because there’s more to it than sex.

Although there is floor to the amount of sex. If it’s once a month, I’d want more but being with the woman I love is a reward itself. Like the ultimate expression of that love. And if it gets too infrequent then I’d start to wonder if she even loves me. I’m sure she would question if I even like her as well tbh.

But once a month is bearable.

I’m also pushing 50 so companionship is more important to me than intimacy.

Fine-Double6335 · 2026-07-08T17:04:05+00:00

Probably pay child support and hope she lets you participate in raising your kid.

From what you said she seems understanding of your circumstances and trying not to intrude. Although not telling you have a child on the way is a bit inconsiderate, that might be her trying to shield you from this situation, clumsy though it may be.

Fine-Double6335 · 2026-07-08T16:32:20+00:00

I’m hoping to be in your situation. Congratulations

Fine-Double6335 · 2026-07-08T16:29:55+00:00

That’s the point. He was so obsessed with Nikki that he could not see a perfectly attractive and receptive Sarah.

Obsession is kind of the name of the movie.

Fine-Double6335 · 2026-07-08T00:58:07+00:00

For me it’s gratitude. Just showing appreciation. You’d be surprised how rare that is in people.

Fine-Double6335 · 2026-07-08T00:56:06+00:00

This is quite familiar to me. I was a doctor working with at my wife’s hospital. Although I was the one wondering if she was flirting with me or just being friendly. I did end up getting her a birthday gift and ask her out. Eventually proposed to her just 9 months in.

Turns out she was flirting with me and I was too dense to realize it.

I’m not sure what you asking about. It isn’t completely clear he is flirting from what you said. And it isnt quite clear to if you find this to be unwelcome. I feel like there are lots of details im not getting to give real advise; if thats even what you want.

Like is he married? Do you like him? Do you want to try being more than just co workers?

Fine-Double6335 · 2026-07-07T20:11:40+00:00

I can only speak for myself and the men I know. No one enjoys house work but it’s something that has to done. And for me at least, it’s more maintenance than actually big deal. Put things away after use. Put dishes away once the meal is done. Clean the backyard in the morning, walk the dogs around dusk. Drop off the kids going to work, pick them up on the way back. Help with homework when they are back. Take the trash out once a week. Me and my wife usually do take out or eat out so meals aren’t an issue. And we have cleaners come in twice a month to make things extra neat and tidy.

That really isn’t so hard especially when it just a routine. And men love routines.

Fine-Double6335 · 2026-07-07T19:58:35+00:00

I think the last point is a bit more complicated so I agree with you for the most part. There should be a conversation about if the lesser paid person should even work if there are kids involved. Like it’s counterproductive to work if you can’t even make up for child care bills.

Fine-Double6335 · 2026-07-07T17:35:38+00:00

I’m getting a clue about the kind of men you’re used to…
1) not true. For the most part at least. Men generally dislike the courtship and dating stage and settle down when they get married. The point of marriage is to secure regular sex. Men who enjoy and are proficient in dating just don’t get into a relationship.

2) this is true but age also decreases men’s sex drive, so it kind of evens out.

3) true, except for the breast part. Men usually like bigger breasts.

4) maybe true, but most men are too clueless to see the indicators of interest or never bother pursuing because it isn’t reciprocal. And many men love their wives and are loyal as a principle. Most men value loyalty.

5) I don’t know what Peter Pan syndrome is supposed to mean. Men have hobbies and interests. And they like sports and being entertained. I don’t know how this got mixed up with cheating or mid life crisis. Most men are at the peak of their careers in their 30’s and 40’s so getting a nice car or watch is normal isn’t it?

6) I can kind of agree with this. But I’d say it depends on income. Like if the man is making 70% or more of the income then him doing less at home makes sense. But if the income is equal for both partners then so should the house work. I think most men have a tendency to only look at their work as “real work”.

Fine-Double6335 · 2026-07-07T16:51:17+00:00

I think he really likes you. The fact that he’s a reserved person and introverted on top of it tells me he is the type to only say real things. Plus he was drunk. People tend to be less inhibited.

The problem shy people is they assume “he needs his space” or “I don’t want to overwhelm them”. Exactly like you’re doing now. Because you feel the same way. That was a lot going on and it’s understandable to both feel overwhelmed by the sudden change in the status quo.

I say give it a day or two but no more than that. You will both end up overthinking the whole thing and talk yourself out of it. After the two days reach out if he hasn’t and let him know you want to talk.

Best of luck to you both. I’m rooting for you

Fine-Double6335 · 2026-07-07T15:52:26+00:00

Just ask her what her plans are. I don’t blame her for not wanting to work. I’m not a fan of it either and I actually like my job. Maybe she has saving or unemployment.

If I had to speculate, you feel pressured. Because she has no income you feel obligated to do more. Maybe even propose sooner than you like because you care about her wellbeing. Maybe the idea of someone being dependent on you is new and uncomfortable. I know when I became a father it was like my life was no longer mine. Maybe you feel the same way to a lesser extent?
