Little Rudy motherfuc**r!!

And don't even get me started on Sam Gamgee
If your parents are with you it’s not Senior Trip. It’s chaperoned beach vacation.

I understand the age 25 issues, but you need to invent a new term for it.

My dad passed away just over a month ago, he wore this watch nearly daily after he retired about 15 years ago but had purchased it (again) in 1999. I think I'll continue in that rather than just having it sit idle in the case with my other watches. 1997 16263 Turn-O-Graph "Thunderbird".



Gorgeous watch and a great tribute!!

"Are we awake???"

"Are we black?"

"Yes."

"Then we're awake. But we're VERY confused!"

"Since you are my guest and I am your host, what would you like to do? What is your pleasure?"

"I don't know? Drink......play chess........screw???"

"Let's play chess."
Yes, you should definitely do this, especially if your wife is even remotely on board and will enjoy it with you! Are you dead set on buying new or would you consider a nice used one?

I want a V12 car before I die or the govt decides I can't have one anymore. It won't ever make smart money sense, but you can't take it with you. I had a heart issue 4 years ago and something like that will definitely inspire you to try to wring as much living out ot the time left to you as possible!

IMO, used is really the way to go in your situation. If you are happy with something like a Miata or Boxster it's not going to break the bank, and if you buy a nice one, take care of it for a decade you'll be able to turn it into something else without losing your shirt. They have already done the majority of their depreciation and with BAT/Cars&Bids/Hemmings etc its 100% easier to sell to another would-be enthusiast.

If it was me I'd also consider BMW Z3/Z4, MB SLK, Lotus Elan, Honda S2000, Nissan 370Z, Audi TT. Whatever really speaks to you aesthetically. This is supposed to be fun.

Good luck and let us know what you end up with.
I have two Rolexes, a Rootbeer GMT and a TT Platinum dial Daytona. I bought them because they spoke to me and I really don't care if any of you like them or not! I wear them sparingly in rotation with a bunch of others. I have had the GMT serviced once in 10 years of ownership because the crown clutch was slipping. My wife has a DJ and a Yachtmaster. All of these were bought pre-owned through TZ/WUS/TRF. No issues.

The Sub is one of the top 5 iconic watches in history. If you have the itch, nothing else is going to scratch it. It's not going to lose a significant portion of it's value over the next 25 years. You can wear it almost anywhere. Anyone with a hint of class that you would be interested in associating with will appreciate it for what it is. Anyone who looks down on you for wearing it is a pretentious a-hole and anyone who gives you s*** about wearing it is a jealous wannabe.

Enjoy life, enjoy the success that has allowed you the disposable income to buy things that bring you joy and let the haters f*** right off!!
Early 80s. Lagerfeld, Polo Green, Paco Rabanne, Drakkar Noir, Grey Flannel and Oscar de la Renta Pour Lui, which I am still sporting at this moment!

Navy Uniform regulations 3 ribbons per row unless covered by lapel in which case you can reduce the number (as per the pic). Never saw anyone in the Navy try to get away with 4 in a row. Would have been interesting.

Somebody beat me to it, but wait'll you get a load of Benny Mardones!! :lol:

ETA: I wasn't a huge fanboy in period, but Born to Run and Thunder Road are two of the greatest songs in R&R history and the Nebraska album is just iconic for what it was. BitUSA and the rest of his career has been different and I certainly don't share his politics these days, but if you can't appreciate the early stuff I think you're either being unfair or perhaps have a poor ear?
I flew a 737 into IAH Thursday. Could have been me!!!
I flew the 0600 departure out. Got on the train at the Marriott in the terminal at 0455 and the security line went past the hotel stop and doubled back. Had to be at least a 4+ hour wait to get through security?? I don't know how people are doing it.
I only eat crawfish shells that have been properly dusted!!
Bob Coozy or Pete Marinovich might have something to say about that!!

Baw for the 10th time what is it, Omega can run from a few quid to over 50k - this would make a huge difference on where to sell it.


This is good advice. I have bought Omega/Breitling/Rolex on Chrono24, Timezone, The Rolex Forum and Watchuseek.
In my 30 years of military experience, I found that "unsuspecting" enemy combatants were the very best ones to attack!!!
IDK about all this BS debate, but I got dibs on this for my new band, "The Prosthetic Buttholes" :usa:
