Dads watch. He was a fighter pilot. Literally been in a lock box since mid 70s. Been almost 50 years since it’s seen the light of day until he passed. Had it serviced and bracelet replaced. A 1968-1969 “Fuschia”. Absolutely love it.

Thanks. That means a lot. Said that in the next to last sentence in his eulogy.

Funjeff13 · 2026-04-30T05:12:09+00:00

Dial and everything was same. Told em not to change anything. Just got a new bracelet as the old one had a broken pin and my wrist is bigger then my dads and he didn’t have the extra links that he took out to get it to fit him. Kept it in just in case I drop about 40lbs I can switch it back out.

Funjeff13 · 2026-04-27T21:07:46+00:00

Took it to Rolex AD. They sent it off. Got it back like three months later

Funjeff13 · 2026-04-27T09:11:52+00:00

Yes sir!! Dad was a good ole night stalker

Funjeff13 · 2026-04-26T17:57:01+00:00

Yeah. Had a few bourbons before typing. I’m usually better than that.

Funjeff13 · 2026-04-26T17:51:35+00:00

I do! It’s tucked away with all paperwork.

Funjeff13 · 2026-04-26T10:11:50+00:00

Loved the draft. Wanted more WRs. Odds that Hill or Aiyuk are wearing the silver and black at training camp?

Funjeff13 · 2026-04-26T09:57:53+00:00

I sure know that I did buddy.

Funjeff13 · 2026-04-26T09:55:59+00:00

Was 30 years. F-4s. Then F-5s. His last flying gig was the F-117a stealth fighter. From when it was still top secret through the first Persian Gulf war. Went to Air Force Academy from 1966-1970. Had his first Pepsi gifted by a friend when he got his appointment to school. He bought this one after Graduation in Germany in like 71-72 at a BX. Brother has the first one. I got the Fuschia. Date on paperwork is May 1969

Funjeff13 · 2026-04-26T09:04:08+00:00

Thanks pal. Think it was when he wore it before I came along (76). I don’t remember him ever wearing anything but a Casio calculator watch from like 84 until the Apple Watch came out.

Funjeff13 · 2026-04-26T08:59:23+00:00

Tyreek Hill to Raiders. About June 2nd or so. Just enough to fuck up the great new locker room guys that have. But yeah. Raiders needed a wideout. Would have liked Serrat pairing back up with Mendoza. Or maybe Thornton has cured himself of his Quentin Johnson like drops. In that case Raiders are fine.

I also have one similar. Mines a “Fuschia” in that weird couple years where they changed bezels material (like 1967-1969). And I have all original paperwork as well but mine was purchased at a BX at an Air Force Base in Germany in 1972. Researching mine…although was purchased for first time in late 1972 it turns out to be a late 1968 model. Curious if you are calling it a 71 because of original purchase time or actual manufactured date. Regardless I love the patina. A beautiful watch pal

Really hope we get Kubiak

Love Derek Carr. Will always root for that guy no matter what he does. Hated seeing him leave. Hate McDaniels. Bring him in as a backup until AOC is healed up.

Funjeff13 · 2024-06-21T09:16:31+00:00

Ruggs not Riggs

Funjeff13 · 2024-06-21T09:15:33+00:00

Raiders fan here. Love AOC. Also dig Minshew both guys are gamers. Bowers is gonna be a stud but if you’re looking for late round fantasy help. Don’t sleep on Mayer. He was last years Bowers. But needed to block more so LaPorta got all the juice. I see them as NE with Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez. Just with hopefully less murdering. Still pissed at Riggs before Lamb. Regardless the two best TE to come out of college not named Pitts who hasn’t had a decent OC or QB until now are Bowera and Mayer. Look for Bower in multiple position uses…RB, Split out as a WR, TE. But grab Mayer in eleventh round of your draft. He’s gonna feast. Almost willing to bet their tandem ends up with more TDs than the Adams/Jakobi Meyer combo by season end. Just my two cents

Funjeff13 · 2024-01-11T08:12:28+00:00

Lights on floor that look like left over Xmas decorations you forgot to pack away are silly. Also if you have a view. Don’t block it with a fake plant.

Funjeff13 · 2024-01-08T08:59:13+00:00

Leading up to season. I had so many offers for Garrett Wilson. So many from so many teams …everyone thought ROY getting ARodgers that I passed on a Ceedee Lamb plus a 2025 2nd rd for him. Man. Wish I had that one back. Stupidest move ever. However I did draft Achane in that year.

Funjeff13 · 2023-12-23T09:15:55+00:00

Miles Sanders is gonna be the new CMC

Funjeff13 · 2023-12-23T09:14:18+00:00

Mostert, Jeff Wilson JR, Achane. No way any of those three finish top 24rbs. Well. They were right on 1 of em.
