Same man.... Never, ever, ever wanted a Rolex - now I have 5. Had never heard of Panerai and have one... But - I think more importantly for me - I never, ever, ever would have thought I'd ever own a watch without a round face. I just could never get over rectangular watch faces... Then I won that contest last year for the FM from Mary and things changed. Then in the end - because of this site - I bought my grail genuine funny enough. Haven't worn a replica in 2 months now.

I'd find a designer/creator. Pay the, $1,000,000 retainer. I'd then sit down with them, and I would start to list the features I want. I would say that by the 2nd 'feature' I wanted built into the watch, they would be calling the authorities on me. Something about because I pulled my pants down to show them how I wanted the watch to fit just right.... Trust me - me and millions of dollars would end badly...

BenjaminButton 149 Posted September 20, 2018 Apart from Mr Stubbs, rightly described as insightful by Greg, post. The rest of the ramblings are clearly the side affects of smoking ‘spice’ and drinking meths. Utter cock twaddle. I absolutely include myself regarding my early posts and perhaps even this one.Smiley face and happy fucking Thursday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In the film he is posing as an obscenely wealthy Texas 'oil man'. And yes, I just used the words exposure, posing, obscenely and oil in the same sentence. 2 No you didn't. They're in different sentences. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But somehow they have slowly grew on me and I have come to appreciate some of them. The beauty of reps: watches become cheap enough to try around! I quickly liked Panerai when I first learned about them a decade ago mostly because of the people who wore them and how understated they are versus Rolex. RM and Hublot on the other hand, I just can't get behind those. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
