Indeed it is. Best story ever was when I was at a convenience store two months ago or so, and a 9-11 year old boy asked my "hey mister, why does your watch have a hole in it." True story. Lol
haha weight saving you should have said “Sir, that is not a hole, that is a device invented in 1801 to counteract the effects of gravity on the accuracy of the timepiece. This device has since been proven to have no benefit for wrist worn timepieces but we still make them because they look good and are very expensive…” then watch his head explode

I had an acquaintance who was more senior than me on Wall Street in the early 2000s. He always wore Turnbull and Asser dress shirts with the signature barrel cuff and 3 buttons. A junior banker who didn't yet know the finer sartorial points once asked him, "Why do your cuffs always have three buttons?". His answer, "Because I can afford the third one". Not an answer I would give, but I got a big chuckle out of it.
Just back from service!! Feels like having a new watch again after being gone a couple months. Image Unavailable, Please Login
After years of painstakingly careful consideration – so much so that in the meanwhile it has been discontinued - I finally pulled the trigger and bought myself the most unorthodox, unapologetic, splendidly vulgar watch I ever set my eyes on. I never had the chance to try it on: no store in my neck of the woods ever dared to have one available for this purpose. It is brash, enormous, unbelievably heavy and definitely not pretty. But I love it to bits. Clearly I had to have it in white (dial) on white (bezel) on white (strap), else nobody would notice it (so far no one has, no kidding). Ready to discover what it is? Hint: it’s an Omega (obviously, what else were you expecting from an Omega fanboy?). > 0 ft - - > 250 ft - - > 500 ft - - > 750 ft - - > 1000 ft - - > 1250 ft - - > 1500 ft - - > 1750 ft - - > 2000 ft - - > 2250 ft - - > 2500 ft - - > 2750 ft - - > 3000 ft - - > 3250 ft - - > 3500 ft (almost there…) - - > 3750 ft - - > 4000 ft A little teaser… Image Unavailable, Please Login
And here it is… the steel PloProf 1200… a Humwee in wristwatch form (with me teaching it how to desk-dive). Image Unavailable, Please Login
Just plugging my two tone Daytona if anybody desperately needs another expensive watch and doesn't check the classifieds! https://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/threads/rolex-daytona-116503-white-dial-two-tone.692229/#post-149631497

This one admittedly goes better with the Aston Martin. Omega Seamaster 007 60th Anniversary. Limited Edition (sort of). LOL Image Unavailable, Please Login
