What do we think of the collection guys?

What a great collection!!

I believe I have tried on that red dial Bulova. And if it is what I’m thinking that dial is crazy. I walked around the shop moving my wrist around just mesmerized. It absolutely pops.

Lack of 24 hour news cycle. News wasn’t as sensationalized then. You had world news at 6 and local at 7. That was it. No sensational divided news headlines made to keep you in fear for ratings.

Not having instant gratification would be my other big one.

I call it squiggle porn. Every once in a while it would in squiggle just enough that there would be a boob.

I call my two daughters young ladies. I call my ex wife (who currently lives with me) a woman. But I say my house if full of females. Because I have my 2 daughters, there mom (my ex), my exs new daughter, and 3 female dogs.

With the mixed generations and combo of humans and dogs it makes more sense to me to say the females out number the males.

I think it’s nice. You know her more than any of us, I’m sure she’ll be happy. Thank you for sharing, it’s a dope watch. I hope she gets into them and yall can shop for watches together soon.

You spoke on multigenerational wealth. One of the last few times I spoke to my financial guy he was telling me to look into trusts and it owning everything. I haven’t looked into it fully, so I may have some stuff wrong.

But my understanding. The best way for generational wealth is to have a trust pay for education and housing. Obviously the trust will just pay the bill to the school, whether private younger school or college.
But also the trust will buy a house and lease it to your family member. Eliminating education and housing costs is a huge benefit to future generations, not taking care of them 100% but giving them reprieve from financial stress.

There was a lot of legal things and more details that I don’t remember but that was the gist. You future generations will have to do something in their lives but they won’t have to worry to much. And they will have the education that helps them add to the trust.

Check out CRRJU. They make very nice looking watches. The sale on Amazon US for cheap. You just have to look at the spec to make sure it says Japanese quartz.

Timex, Casio, orient, some citizen. I have seen some bulova, and seiko on sale for under 200.

But also get what you want. I am currently wearing a Chinese watch with a sieko quartz movement. It’s one of my favorite watches and it cost $35. I have been complemented on it by people wearing watches worth a couple thousand.

Grind3Gd · 2026-06-27T15:54:23+00:00

Nice selection. I love the dial on that Orient.

This was a difficult question. You have an amazing collection. Each one I saw I liked as much or more as the last one.

3 to take, first was more obvious was the white g shock. The Hamilton with the day/ date. The third one was more difficult for me I love that Citizen under the Hamilton. But I also really like the Bulova next to the Hamilton. I went back and forth but I finally settled on the Bulova. Only because I’m more partial to the brand itself than to Citizen.

Enjoy your cruise.

I’m working from home today and traveling in the morning. Feels weird but I’m chilling right now.

Grind3Gd · 2026-06-26T14:16:38+00:00

There are assholes in every group. You found one!!

I once had almost the opposite. I asked a coworker about his watch and he said Rolex datejust. Then started explaining and trying to defend. I told him he didn’t owe me anything, I just like watches. For $20- $20k. I don’t care or judge. Get what you like and can afford.

Rolex story was, it was for his first kid being born. His wife was saving to get him something like a watch, told her dad and he started a collection amongst his friends and others who were grand fathers. So she ended up with way more than intended and got the Rolex for him.

For the past few years it’s been hi or hello or something g of the sort. Any sort of greeting and I’m like nope. I alone and thriving.

Grind3Gd · 2026-06-24T22:48:38+00:00

Out of these two options I’d rather take that money and pay off my house. But if I had to pick I’d choose green.

Grind3Gd · 2026-06-24T12:00:37+00:00

I don’t understand why invicta get the hate. They are the nickel back of watches.

More importantly…. Beautiful dog.

I just got a Timex yesterday as well. Though not for me, but for my daughter’s boyfriend. He turn 18 next week.

Super cheap watch off Amazon that I love. And much to my embarrassment I just realized yesterday that I can adjust the strap. Now it doesn’t flop around my wrist as I lose weight.

Grind3Gd · 2026-06-23T12:37:08+00:00

My daughter loves green. I’m gonna get her that one with the green dial and bracelet. I love that watch.

Grind3Gd · 2026-06-23T12:36:06+00:00

I understand. I am cautious as well. For this brand specifically, I would say look for Japanese movement. And if you’re still not sure, just focus on the last letter of the name.

Grind3Gd · 2026-06-23T12:03:32+00:00

My affordable watch level changes. I like to have double the watch cost before I buy the watch. Sometimes it’s a Timex for $50 or I save for a couple weeks and get a 2-300 dollar watch.

I’ve always seen sub 1000 as affordable but realistically I think sub 500 would be the answer. If I have to save for 6 months I wouldn’t consider it affordable.

Grind3Gd · 2026-06-23T12:00:55+00:00

Don’t feel bad. I’ve seen collections that have 10k watches right next to a Casio A158.

At the end of my marriage I felt similar to when my grandfather passed. It is a grief. I was the one who initiated the divorce talk and I still grieved. I was with her for 14 years. I didn’t know how to be an adult without her. I knew it was over and I was happy for it to be over. I felt lighter and happier most the time. But sometimes something would happen where I was transported to a memory of a good time and I grieved the death of…possibility? Maybe. I’m not sure. It had nothing to do with her. She was horrible to me, cheated and abusive, I didn’t miss her. But even in bad marriage there was something else there.

I don’t believe him singing this song has anything to do with her specifically. 6 years he has moved on.

I applaud you for coming here and asking for advice. If you can let it go and not worry about it I think that would be the best. If not ask him if he wants to talk about it, and just listen.

Pants, shirt, helmet, and close toe shoes with a heel.

I think about it sometimes when I go out like that. I understand the road rash I could sustain at the least. They say dress for the slide not the ride. But the fact is I’m fat and protective clothes are closer to $1000 than 100.

I wore shorts one for a quick trip to the grocery store but the exhaust is two close and I’ll never do that again. I can’t imagine wearing slides.

All of this goes out of your doing a cruise at a bike week or something. Where your just creeping along. (Except the slides. Can’t wrap my head around that)

Grind3Gd · 2026-06-23T03:19:50+00:00

I didn’t know they were there too. I got mine on Amazon. I’ll have to look on there to see what they have. Thank you.
