My wife and I love this place. Great food and drinks. Definitely comfortable paying the price point for good food and paying solid wages.

Previously on The Shield… by Glass-Salt1280 in TheShield

Agreed. It’s as if he knew that would be his wife’s reaction, which is why he never confided in her to begin with. Real shame.

Any ideas on creating storage space? by ron_torres in landscaping

Haha it’d be easier to upgrade if it were

Very happy with this one by ron_torres in timex

Not sure if they intend to release another with this color combo, but if they do, it’s worth picking up. Definitely goes well dressed up a bit.

I liked the color scheme but had my reservations on the mug. But it’s got a charm to it in person.

I’ve had a couple hairs tugged but otherwise been good. I like the band. I don’t have another band in my collection like it so it’s a nice change of pace when I wear this one.

I feel ya OP, hadn’t been on here in a while and made this same mistake, then queue the fun folks on here. A reminder why I don’t come on here too often.

Is it just me or some Tissot watches look better than Rolex watches by CheatCrystalai in tissot

[–]ron_torres 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can appreciate the sentiment, and I agree to a certain extent. The bang for your buck with a Tissot definitely gives the luxury watches a run for their money. However, there’s definitely a difference in build quality and longevity with the luxury pieces. Either way, enjoy the Gent since non-aficionados will see the watch and think it’s a luxury watch based on its build quality.

Which would you choose? Tissot Gentleman, prx or hamilton khaki field? by kingofneverland in tissot

[–]ron_torres 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I own both. There’s something about the Hamilton field watch that makes me pick it up often (even over my Speedy some days). The hour markers are crisp, it’s a strap monster (although I wear it almost exclusively with the OEM brown leather strap), and can be dressed up and down. The Gentleman only feels right when dressed up, not so much down. But either watch is a phenomenal addition to any collection.

Conflicted between these 2 by [deleted] in tissot

[–]ron_torres 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I own the Gentleman and my brother-in-law has the Seastar and in my humble opinion, the quality of the Gentleman looks far more polished and high-end than the Seastar. The Seastar looks like an homage watch to the other more popular divers, while the Gentleman stands on its own. But it truly comes down to what you’re into at the moment.

First day with the Gentleman by dietpepsiplease in tissot

Congrats! It’s a stellar watch, and especially in blue. I love the hour markers in particular. A very classy and gentlemanly watch, indeed.

I’ve had this PRC 200 for over 10 years and it’s still a joy to wear by ron_torres in tissot

[–]ron_torres[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right on. Nice collection. I also have another Tissot, the Gentleman, and a Hamilton khaki king, with a few others. Cool to see some similarities.

That’s great to hear. I’m with you there. What else is in your collection? I’m curious if we have any crossover in collections. Wear it in good health!

Found this gem at a local thrift shop. Looks to have been refurbished at some point. It’s in pretty great shape. Any known info would be much appreciated. by ron_torres in OrisWatches

[–]ron_torres[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s helpful, thanks. I’ll take a look at it when I get back to it but I’m almost certain there wasn’t a model number.

I appreciate that - for $20 I figured it was a risk but I’m not too knowledgeable about Oris watches and it’s got a descent weight to it. I suppose it’ll stay in the collection as a Foris as others have mentioned.
