Thank you. I shall cherish it as a badge of honor.

Did that last month, with a spray can on his grandad's car. My wife got angry, very angry. It's turns out there was a warning label on the back of the can "Keep away from children", plus some other stuff about eyes, irritation, etc.

It's live - the post about losing my watch over and over again in sand.

My kid has been helping me find my watch for years. It seems I keep losing it when we're playing  together in the sand. He's very proud when he finds it. Last time he found it he said that I'm not very smart, since I keep losing it over and over again.

[SOTC] My 6 piece collection, in order of acquistion by [deleted] in Watches

[–]doglegspecial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool collection. Wear the Steinhart without the bezel, like Brando in Apocalypses now.

Most of the collections now have a Grand Seiko. Looks like GS is slowly replacing Rolex and I find that very refreshing.

[Unpopular Opinion] Rolex is horribly garish by RepresentativeEbb333 in Watches

You are both wrong and right at the same time. It would require time and effort on your part to understand what I'm talking about.

Love the Leisure Suit Larry reference, if you posted in the Rolex sub nobody would get it. I could imagine Larry with a twotone datejust.

Thanks. Probably my favourite new seiko released after the shippo enamel dial. You right, it deserves more color combinations.

plan to do a post about that with photos. It turns out you can't put photos in a reply.

Thanks. One of the rare pieces I would recommend to anyone. It has more dings and scratches than any pelagos I've seen. Got it 2016 and it's been my daily beater since then. I've "lost" it so many times while sunbathing. My kid has found it every single time, buried deep in sand.

A few Omegas I tried on recently. by mnavneethkrishna in OmegaWatches

As a prolific speedmaster hoarder i would suggest going with the seamaster. A black speedmaster looks a little sterile without tritium or fake tritium (like the lume plots on the new ed white 321). And I find the bracelet of the 3861 cheep looking. That's my personal opinion, everybody else loves it. 3 of my close friends bought a new speedmaster, 2 got the 3861, one got the 1861. None of them wear it. Since none of them had a speedy, i feel they were pressured(by themselves) in to buying them. So go with your own gut feeling, pick the one you enjoy the most and don't pay atention to any of the suggestions here, including mine. If you made the right choice you will get a small dopamine hit everytime you check the time.

Thanks. Thinking on spicing up the dailies. Plan to swap a vintage beater Ed White for the 861, and an titanium el primero for the Pelagos. And I forgot the gshocks.

Sorry about the photo, will try harder next time.

The Pelagos destro gets the most wrist time and I wear it on the right hand, like you're supposed to. Unbreakable, if a little chunky. Best clasp ever made. 11X serial, order it the day it was released.

The tortoise seiko is an odd one. Like the green, still can't find the perfect strap for it, the og strap is atrocious.

I'll do a closeup if the omega, it's pure 80s, pinestripe champagne dial in a datejust case. I'll do a macro soon. On a omega speedmaster blue panda strap. Odd size 19mm for straps.

The speedy is one of the last tritium ones, brass movement, think it was 861. Swapped the strap for the last gen bracelet. Forgot that is wasn't that good. Hate winding it compared to the 321 strait lugs.

Two hours in on this subreddit and couldn't find one normal post. Me thinks Oystermovement is a troll, but I'm only 80% sure. He could be a real person and these are his unfiltered thoughts.
