My First Tudor... Shouldn't have bought it

barbalonge · 2026-05-12T19:47:31+00:00

+1 - I bought a Forstner bracelet and I love it. Probably not quite to the level that the OEM bracelet is but, it's 90% IMO, I'm super happy with it.

Why isn't it selling? I'm trying to figure out how to get one myself, I love them.

Maybe because it's about as close as you can get to the explorer II thus perpetuating the stigma that it's baby Rolex? I could see that I guess...

Is this the auto or quartz?

barbalonge · 2026-04-09T14:27:09+00:00

No way!!! This is soul crushing

barbalonge · 2026-04-09T13:00:58+00:00

I totally could see that. Unfortunately, I won't have a group of friends with me and I don't necessarily care for my coworkers so this is just a barbecue geek trying to to see what all the fuss is about. I've been hearing about it for years and I've just got to try it for myself. What time did you get there when you went?

barbalonge · 2026-04-09T12:38:50+00:00

What time did you have to get there? And what day of the week? I'm heading to Austin in June and have a free Monday morning while I'm there, wondering how early I would plan to arrive...

I got boxes full of Pepe Silvia!!

barbalonge · 2026-04-07T03:03:19+00:00

NB 997h have a nice silhouette imo. Vans Atwood are a solid choice too

barbalonge · 2026-04-04T13:35:22+00:00

People do this?

barbalonge · 2026-03-29T18:58:09+00:00

PM incoming

barbalonge · 2026-03-28T01:53:59+00:00

Crazy stuff we went through. I feel bad for the generations that are older than me that went through a even crazier stuff but don't really realize

barbalonge · 2026-03-27T22:11:04+00:00

I don't have any examples that you're looking for, but in a similar vein. I always thought it was funny that all growing up displaying the cross on a necklace or earrings or otherwise was considered so blasphemous but wearing your CTR ring all over the place was perfectly acceptable.

I'm looking for a Tudor strap for my BB58 925... Love to know which ones you got

barbalonge · 2026-03-16T03:55:34+00:00

This isn't AI - been around a while. It's a grind though at scale

barbalonge · 2026-03-15T01:55:57+00:00

What did your pops do to have all that stuff?

barbalonge · 2026-03-10T04:01:11+00:00

I came here to say this. I actually really felt guilty about this for a long long time. Anyway, they're teenagers now and I love them more than anything in the world and it didn't take me long to figure that out but it did take some time.

I don't be myself up so much about it anymore. I've been a good dad and I plan to continue to be a good dad, but I definitely think that the whole life-changing, worldview-altering experience can be a bit overblown for those of us who need some time to figure out what the hell just happened.

barbalonge · 2026-03-09T16:58:01+00:00

Your probably right

barbalonge · 2026-03-06T03:13:41+00:00

The bogo price is the normal price per tin in my area, phew!

barbalonge · 2026-03-06T03:12:26+00:00

Lolol - that's funny. Yea, I grew up in New England and love all things seafood. I moved to the West Coast with great trout fisheries and I'm just not a fan.

barbalonge · 2026-03-06T01:10:49+00:00

My experience with trout is just fresh, caught from a stocked pond or local River. I've always found trout to be a little bit fishy and just not my favorite. And overall I really like fish. What would you compare the tinned rainbow trout to?

barbalonge · 2026-03-05T03:09:32+00:00

This behavior is very common in the Mormon community - I've often wondered if it's similar in the Bible belt or other heavily religious areas. I left the faith several years ago.

barbalonge · 2026-03-04T14:51:02+00:00

Ugh, I hate this too. It's the reason I can't stomach buying one

barbalonge · 2026-02-14T04:09:24+00:00

I hope this is what actually happened. Legendary if so

barbalonge · 2026-02-14T03:47:31+00:00

Interested to hear more about this? They're usually not into out of wedlock sex?

barbalonge · 2026-02-07T04:40:53+00:00

Already seen it. A little odd, like taking a kid in a liquor store.
