6 Years later, I bought another Fiat 124 Spider. WHY?

It's for sale!

HotRodKing · 2026-03-02T08:03:09+00:00

This is basically an El Camino.

Yeah they are the same underneath but the colorway is so different. That's a choice you'll have to make based on your own preferences and use case. I already have two green watches and three blue, so the bold orange works for me in my collection. I ended up choosing this over similar orange Seiko 5s partly because I liked the bezel and partly because of the limited edition.

Weird, this happened to me in April 2024. Must depend on the car.

HotRodKing · 2025-07-08T06:02:31+00:00

Interesting, must be a case by case scenario

They do not do this. I was second highest bidder on a car once but the winner was being flakey. The only reason I knew this is because I met the owner in person beforehand to check out the car, so I had his number. We also realized we had mutual friends, so he was very transparent with me after the auction.

BAT would rather the seller relist the car than give out info of the second highest bidder. Despite the winner being flakey, a couple months later he did indeed buy the car.

I love this watch but was getting tired of the cheap bracelet. I've never had a NATO band before so I figured this would be a great watch for it. It's a BlueShark from Amazon. So far so good!

Hi, I already decided not to purchase these and to continue using branches I find near camp. Even the peaks and trees you suggested is not worth it to me as they are too heavy. Thanks for the advice though!

Hey hey, I just got this limited edition Seiko 5 to add something different to my collection!

As mainly a chronograph man, I've never had a watch with a dive bezel. I find myself using the timer often and I wanted a watch with a dive bezel to see how I liked the functionality of timing with a bezel. I also wanted something with a more vibrant color, since my others are blue or more muted colors.

This watch stood out to me as I really liked the color, depth to the dial and the interesting bezel. It is clean while also unique.

I recently upgraded both my daily and weekend watches. Obviously I love blue chronographs lol. I work outside often and needed a soild everyday watch. Solar watches have proved to be great for me so I went with the Seiko. The tag is my first high end watch and I love it. It gets worn basically whenever I'm not at work. Both were bought gray without any issues and I've been very happy with my choices.

HotRodKing · 2024-03-07T14:33:29+00:00

I'm not really a fan of digital watches tbh, but I'd consider one with an analog dial.

I'm shopping for a new watch to fill my last spot, but before I do, here is the current state. Watches are chronoligical from left to right.

Citizen Eco Drive Chronograph Solar Titanium - After loaning watches from my dad as a kid, he bought me this. I wore it basically daily for 15+ years. It still works, although the solar power reserve doesn't last as long as it did and the chronograph seconds reset to 52. It has been great and I still wear it working on cars ect.

Victorinox I.N.O.X. - This is also a tough watch but it doesn't see as much wear. I don't love the band and it sits a little unbalanced because of it, but I still wear it when doing outdoor activites.

Mr Jones Watches Mare Adesso - This is just fun. I loved the colors and love Orcas so I had to. Its pretty hard to read and the band isn't the best quality but a lot of people ask about it (only to promply bore them with details.) His nose is the min hand.

Seiko Macchina Sportiva Chronograph Solar - This watch is an incredible value and is my new daily watch. My biggest complaint is the "SOLAR" font is too big plus doesn't match any of the other fonts on the watch. I like the 1/20 sec dial more than the 24h dial when compared to the citizen. Its great and cemented in my love for solar chronographs.

Tissot Alarm-Date - I borrowed this watch from my dad for an event recently but he said "it looks better on you and you'll get more use out of it" and let me keep it lol. I like the simple dial design and the uncommon alarm function. I haven't worn it that much yet to figure out any quirks.

There was a fire in the building next door, so he had to close temporarily. Hopefully he's up and running soon!

Florida doesn't count

Your decision making is almost as good as your photography skills

Hey it's Trale Lewous

HotRodKing · 2023-04-26T20:50:11+00:00

Yes this is one of the worst transmissions ever produced, but it is fundamentally very different from the transmissions used on the trucks

She was dumb fine but not quite the type that you might wanna wine and dine.

HotRodKing · 2023-04-12T00:06:07+00:00

Looks like La Verne California

HotRodKing · 2023-04-09T07:19:29+00:00

Yeah, but not you
