The Watch Appreciation Thread (Reviews and Photos of Men's Timepieces by Rolex, Patek Philippe, Brei

[Flake]

Speaking of tacky things, bought this in Vegas years ago on a lark. The Deco dial and biCompax subdials attracted me. I will have to say, the strap is exceptionally nice. Far nicer than this watch deserves, and nicer than many other oem straps from most higher end makes.

There are worse things you can spend money on in Vegas, so I hear!

Right you are Mimo. Built for speed, not comfort. While I would certainly not dream of kicking that young lady out of bed, I feel that I have been spoiled when it comes to women growing up adjacent to SEC schools. Most beautiful women in the world.

As always Frills, I love how you are bringing TWAT to its natural progression.

I do like her get up though. She looks kind of like Holly, Hef's old but young squeeze.

I wouldn't let her in my living room. Can we talk about watches again now? Frilly has become most frivolous since he took a break from rampant acquisition!

Finally home from HK and reunited with my vintage Rolex and UN - pix as promised months ago.

i want to own this by the end of the day. anyone want to help me out?

Times are a little tight right now, but I'll give you fifty bucks. I'd like you to choose a different strap if possible. But it's not a condition.

I like both of these, Chicago Ron.

@ Newcomer: Lexington FTW

Ron, the Rolex and UN are gorgeous.

As for the JLC, I was lusting after one of those myself until I found out the bezel doesn't turn. So now I lust after the Deep Sea Chrono instead. But then I get defeated by my usual stuffy rules, like why on earth would you want an elapsed time bezel on a chrono? What you want is a countdown bezel. I wonder if you could special order one. In any case these are far better looking than JLC's other sports models.

Now to the girl: If she regularly suns on the deck while wearing a five figure watch then it's highly likely that she's interesting to talk to.

nope, didnt get to see him.
i think that the name positioning is unique enough that if someone knew it i could google and find the model.

the watch would definitely be higher up on the scale so i hope thats a start. im going to do some research as well!!

Ok I found it. Its a patek. I should've known better as his son collects pateks. I didn't think Patek branded the dial with their name in an arch, that's why I was hesitant.
Says Patek Philippe geneve (not a third name as I originally though!)
Will post pics when I get to the computer. Maybe some aficionados can point out the ref number.

Or she steals watches from watch/Moto GP buffs while they're swimming, and hopes her plastic **** will distract security personnel. But that's just me, I always assume the best of people.

Or what if Rossi keeps several of of those in his trunk to leave on the pillow in the am.

Ahhh, Lexington. The great combination of southern attractiveness and northern morality.

I have always been partial to Oxford.

Actually, it turns out that she ISN'T a model. That she deals in exotic cars for a living. And that she does own that watch. And many others.

Also, I will kop to having become a bit more frivolous lately. I can now be known as Frillyvolous Imeldific or something.
