Fun & Games Most liked posts in thread: I may be alone in finding this guy funny...

I thought it was the pinky nails for doing the bumps of powder.

 

Dude you could not tell that was a thumb? Really.....:lol:

 

Maybe that thumb nail has other purposes.....

 

This guy seems to be stuck on the price range of say tag, movado, bulova, etc etc. Seems like he has a vendetta against those companies. I can see his point... as a watch guy myself, those watches tend to be way over priced for the materials/movements. And I don't buy a watch to look like everyone else. But to each his own. If you like the style of it and want to get better quality than say fossil, then doooo ittt.

I avoid types of people like this by going vintage or boutique. I wear a vintage sieko, trying to find a WWII Benrus Sky Chief, and the boutique brand I admire is Sinn. It's the style I like more than the price b/c all of these watches I just named are in the price range he's talking about. I don't really think he's a conneseur b/c he just generalized a price point without discussing many other brands like Tudor which is Rolex's "entry level" if you will; they use the same parts and pieces and design. Or many boutique brands that use better materials and the same movements as some of these "high end" brands. But whatever... I'm off my soap box.

 

I'll bet Flavor Flav has a fine collection of timepieces....

 

I've got some nice watches but none are in his "mid level" range. okay one is but I inherited it. I've seen some really great ones for $1-2k but I won't spend that. I only wear 2. My cheap Casio and an old Helbros self winder I restored.

 

I've been a "watch person" for a long time. I'm fortunate enough to have a few decent ones, but this guy is nothing but a blow hard snob. He's well within the realm of being a D-Bag.

People like him give those of us who like nice watches a bad name.

 

Numpty. There's a piece of English slang that I don't hear too often on this side of the pond. Luv it.

 

One post just reminded me I had a Rolex years ago. Bought it in the ship's store for like 50 bucks or something ridiculous and had it briskly removed from my wrist by a very fast thief, broad daylight, on a street in Olongapo City.

 

Coincidentally this article showed up on my Flipboard app today.

Yes, I think you might be alone.
