Warren, do you happen to have a FPJ? Just wondering with your avatar.

i was in an omega boutique not too long ago and it sucked. the people working there clearly did not know jack about watches and were just spewing out whatever they were taught in training like omeeeega parrots. not to mention it was in some back corner of a mall and there was no feeling of exclusivity/fancy-pants-ness or anything special at all really about the space or ambiance.

kind of the exact opposite of what they claimed they were trying to do with these boutiques. if they are mostly like this, the idea will fail imo.

I had the same experience with the boutique in Paris. Really underwhelming.

Aww I wish man.. I don't have a FPJ CS at the moment. It's such a gorgeous watch.

You might get a kick out of this story. The first time I saw one in the wild, it was at Chuck E Cheese's (little cousin party) of all places. I was blatantly staring at his watch, he smiled and asked me if I wanted to see it. I remember thinking to myself, I wonder how fast I can run or how many tickets did this cost...

But wow I just realized I haven't change my avatar since 2009. I still can't believe I have been on this forum for almost 6 years now.

Oh btw, you guys can call me Duy. I can only imagine you guys picture me as some old cajun white dude.

Got it Duy! And that is absolutely hilarious. I can't believe you saw one in the wild. Especially at Chuck E Cheese's.

And trust me, I understand. I am a 6-yearer too. I have checked this forum every day for the past 6 years. Kind of absurd when you think about it.

Being a resident of Lafayette, I don't think I have much room to talk about old cajun white dudes

Styleforums noobie coming in with a bang!

My collection so far in chronological order:

Seiko skx007 my entry into the watch world. I installed the dome crystal myself and love it!


Orient mako - hands changed and relumed to pay homage to omega PO (hence the red omega watchbox lol)


notice the two tone relume anyone?


Everybody's gotta have a monster ;p


Aqua Terra - my first entry into luxury market


Seamaster 300 - daily wearer quartz reliability ironically my first quartz watch lol


WUS 2012 Chinese forum project watch - blue rotor pops




First Rolex and my birth year watch to make it extra special. also first year 14270 was released and 1016 phased out; doesnt mean anything though lol

I was having my movement serviced and decided to refinish the case and bracelet as watch is old as me. Heres a pic without the heart. actually the watchmaker was pleasantly surprised by my refinishing


That shine! thats a 24 year old watch ladies and gents. Any avid rolex collector will notice something strange about my watch. (hint hint the lugs)


Thanks! Hope to share more in the future

@clb89 , I love that last rolex. If it was mine, I'd put thinner hands on it, but it looks awesome!

Stitchy, I see you've resorted to the time honored tradition of eating ramen for lunch to pay for kops

Waiting for day's end.
