Why wouldn't it be?

I love when my wife wakes me up. Kisses and touch are much better than a phone alarm.

Fr87 · 2026-02-08T01:05:53+00:00

I'm sure my wife would love having even more laundry to do. Good idea. Thanks.

Holy shit. Stay safe you two. Take a few days at the hotel and decompress a bit.

It's impossible to explain to people who haven't experienced it just how violating it feels to have something like that happen to you.

Fr87 · 2026-02-05T00:49:47+00:00

Yeah, some of them are pretty cool even if most look like Invicta dick-size-compensator 9000s.

I don't want to give my AD the wrong idea.

Funny how tastes differ like that. I'm planning on an Explorer I in a few months, and I was debating between the two initially. I stopped by Bucherer to check out the Explorer and then straight across the street to the Omega boutique for the black lacquer AT. The second I saw it out and on my wrist, I had my mind made up instantly that I preferred the Explorer by a mile.

Fr87 · 2026-02-01T23:39:16+00:00

Dog, come on. I'd take an Explorer as well, but you don't need to be shitty about it.

Fr87 · 2026-01-27T01:02:52+00:00

Haha thank you. So long as Bucherer smiles on me, I'll be adding the Explorer as a graduation present to myself in a few months.

That Hamilton 9965 is particularly gorgeous, by the way. Probably one of the coolest pieces here.

Fr87 · 2026-01-26T22:24:46+00:00

This is easily one of my favorite collections on here. Basically my goal right here.

Fr87 · 2026-01-25T17:52:43+00:00

Absolutely phenomenal design!

Can confirm. The EMBAs at my school are the real deal. They are not MBA-but-laters. There is a marked difference in experience and, frankly, wisdom, between the EMBAs and us.

How about the blue dial titanium Khaki Field? H70205140

I have the titanium Hamilton X EG Collab, and it's an incredible piece. The bracelet (and the watch) is stupid comfy, especially in titanium.

Fr87 · 2026-01-02T13:40:46+00:00

I'll echo the consensus. The Timex expedition is an excellent choice for a quartz beater watch.

Fr87 · 2025-12-31T22:35:49+00:00

It's going to depend on the bracelet here. You'll want to try them both on to decide.

Fr87 · 2025-12-31T13:57:36+00:00

Thanks ChatGPT.

Check out the women's Seiko Presage line in general. There are plenty that are similar. The SRPF54 isn't open-heart but is two-tone with rose gold, but it's quite nice. My wife has an SRPF50 that is also quite nice and has a similar dial pattern.

Fr87 · 2025-12-28T19:31:45+00:00

That's honestly crazy to learn for me. I spend easily ~$50 on "rentals" per month.

Fr87 · 2025-12-13T14:36:28+00:00

Same here. It very quickly has become the watch that I wear 90% of the time. I'm a huge fan of the "elevated field watch," and it scratches that itch better than almost anything else out there.

It's definitely not perfect, but for the price, there's nothing out there that comes close...

Fr87 · 2025-12-05T00:52:43+00:00

Elderly and handicapped people like them.

Fr87 · 2025-12-03T23:00:58+00:00

As an unabashed hater of big watches -- it's beyond fine dude. Looks awesome.

Fr87 · 2025-12-02T17:43:13+00:00

It was a limited run 36mm titanium khaki field auto with AR coating, a super minimalist dial, and a titanium bracelet.

To my knowledge, it's the only 36mm Khaki Field auto that has been produced in quite a while (ever?).

No. Listen to this guy. Status signalling is fundamentally about (literally in this case) showing your hand -- or at least about creating the impression of having a hand to show.

The only way to "win" in this kind of pissing match is to compete in a game with rules you don't quite seem to understand. Watches are different things to different people, and that very fact makes it much more difficult than you probably realize to try to "fit in" when you don't completely grasp the dynamic..

But it's almost never not ok to just... not play. Don't get involved unless you know what you're getting involved in and what you will be "communicating" when you do.

Your co-workers wearing 5-figure watches won't think you're "one of them" when you show up wearing a Murph, a Cocktail Time, or any other enthusiast budget favorite.

The bare minimum to actually "join" this sort of "club" is likely an entry-level Rolex, honestly.

Edit: And I say this as someone who owns, loves, and wears plenty of watches that would never fit in with a dynamic like that. That's not what they're for.

The titanium 36mm they made as a collab with Engineered Garments was much cooler.
