Watches

[Dusty Chalk]

Dusty approved?

Maybe. Will purchase and decide. Do dig the technology behind it.

Was this posted (for Dusty) before?

I don't know if it's been posted in this thread, but it's on my wishlist, and I've even seen it in person. Again, dig the technology behind Casio's Eco-Drive watches -- solar-power reinforces a standard winding watch movement. Just haven't gotten around to purchasing it yet.

Blacker than black?

Vestal ZR3008 Watch - The Coolest Watches from Watchismo.com

I have since bought this watch. It is the blackest watch I have ever seen. Nixon has also again catered to me and made an (otherwise) all-black watch with purple numerals. I bought the first model off the machine line.

I have a bit of a watch problem. I have already spent more money whimsically buying watches than I would consider spending on headphones. I have no idea what is wrong with me. The current "thing" is mother-of-pearl. And I have long since moved past all-black or largely black watches -- I have a couple of very shiny silvertone watches (one with a "salmon" face which is just outlandishly gorgeous, and several other dyed-MOP dials), and have bought almost the entire series of Invicta Lupah Revo's.

Any suggestions on how to curtail said spending and/or how to obtain large sums of money by endangering my life for entertainment purposes would be greatly appreciated.

Curse you, Dusty! My lust for watches has grown quite a bit because of you, and I have absolutely no use for one. Was looking for a pocketwatch for awhile but then realized my cell phone already has that purpose covered. Though it certainly isn't as badass as said pocketwatch.

watches are for badassness

I can't really wear wrist watches because I found it made my wrist thinner on the side I was wearing them, which was the wrong side anyway. I'm left handed and wore them.. on my left wrist. Also, I'd just end up taking them off and putting them back on again for any playing I'd have to do, then get too lazy and just not put them back on. Which is what I've done.

I just bought another one.

lolwut?

Why would they make your wrist thinner?

Tiger (before he was infamous, when he was just famous) worked with Tag to design a special low-profile watch that was designed not to throw off his swing. It's only US$1200.

[jinp6301]

Hmm, I never wear watches when I'm playing golf because the slight weight difference between not having it on (which is how I always practiced) vs having it on screwed up my swing.

[Dusty Chalk]

Exactly.

[jinp6301]

I dont know if I would spend $1200 to "fix" that problem though

also the watch you bought looks bad ass

I just bought another one.

Nice.

Osteoporosis maybe? I noticed I haven't been bleeding out the for years.

[jinp6301]

that's because you aren't a famous adulterer.

can you teach me how to be one?

[Dusty Chalk]

Okay, coolest thing ever. It even has a date. See the little "V" thingy? That's the Vestal watch logo. It's also the date. They had the movement modified so that all it shows is black.

Okay, no, not really.

Oh, and Dinny, I forgot to mention -- I saw your blue-on-black Bell & Ross "instrument" at Torneau in person.

Actually this happened to me as well when I used to wear a watch year round. It's not really an issue since the fat around the muscle does regenerate. I just need to stop buying audio gear and music then I'll but a sufficiently nice watch.

Dusty, I saw it, too. And you were right; it's important to see just how big those things are in person. I could never get away with wearing it. So I got something smaller. Nice watch, though.

Just masturbate more with that hand, should build the wrist up.

Well, they have three different sizes; the one I saw was not imposing at all.

I think it's pretty cool but not 15k cool

[Dusty Chalk]

Oh, I would even go so far as to say that it's at least 10K cool...it's just too bad I don't have 10k.

[Dreadhead]

To be honest I'm lucky it's that expensive if it was in the sub 5k range I think I may be having stupid stupid thoughts...

I saw that and passed on it -- on the one hand, it seems ginormous, but it's "only" 53mm (comparable to the Venom, but not as tall), but the thing I have absolutely no need for is three fucking movements with separate crowns.

That said, if I win the lottery, then I'd get it anyway.

Aren't Bell & Ross way overpriced?

[Dusty Chalk]

Thanks for bumping this thread. I found my watch, the Oris Oscar Peterson Jazz Series:

Yes, those are meant to look like keyboard keys around the outer rim.

Yes, that is meant to look like a record groove towards the center.

So 'me', it hurts.

Aren't Bell & Ross way overpriced?

C'mon, man, that's a skull. Skulls are the shit. Plus, the hands look like a sword and dagger. Coolest fucking watch evar.
