Blackwings and Watches

Honestly can’t tell you the brand, and it definitely isn’t an expensive one I don’t think. Yet I get more compliments on this watch than I do on my antique solid gold Omega, probably because most folks haven’t heard of Omega.

Edit: I guess the pic didn’t load so look below.

The scrunchee ruins the coolness of the watch

Very nice. Regardless of the price, if you love it, rock it. I like it, classic looking skeleton, dial engraving nicely done, yet it's subtle piece. The light blue hands and screws really make it pop. Very cool. Happen to know the brand/reference number?

It is out of place.

I love skeletons, and that one is very cool. A bit humongous, but still very cool. Also curious what it is.

The wife wants it on the shifter so that anybody looking in there knows I’m taken. ‍

The only folks looking in it are friends and family though so far, so I’m not sure what her concern is.

Never heard of it honestly. A tenant that was evicted for not paying rent for 9mos (but was having packages delivered daily) left a ton of shit behind when he finally moved out. He left all sorts of designer clothing items (the floor was coved in about a foot and a half deep of just clothes and accessories) and handbags and shit behind. This was one of the only things I kept, the other being a Gucci sport coat. The rest I bagged up and let friends pick through it before Goodwill.

The next watch I’d actually purchase is a Tag though. I used to have one but it got stolen.

Well.........y'all inspired me.............and/or I want a little crazy.

The story was kinda like ordering my 5BW. These watches have universal waiting lists too.

Added myself to our only AD a couple of months ago. This week I realized we had a 2nd one. I dropped in and learned they had their grand opening 4 days ago on Sunday. Overall, they treated me pretty badly.

Two hours later they text me and said the owner overheard the convo and wanted to meet.

I show up, and this watch was ready for immediate delivery.

My wife agreed (although shocked later at what this shenanigan actually set us back) and here we are

I bought a "replica" Rolex Pepsi in Aruba a few weeks ago for $300. It never made it to NY. Someone from TSA or American Airlines stole it out of my locked checked baggage. They did leave me the empty fake box. That was nice of them.

While that is completely fucked up there is some laughs and irony to the fact the idiots stole a knock off.

Total amateurs. The box bears no resemblance to the real thing.

 

[CBH]

I bet it still feels violating though..............sorry to hear it.

Note to self - never put anything of real value in checked luggage..........

Hey, what he did is Aruba is his own business.

That is why they probably left me the empty box ! They did take the fake green serial number card that doesn't even match the model of the watch. I was hoping to hear about someone getting assaulted while selling a phony Rolex. Many of the fakes out there have a Seiko automatic movement that will work fantastic.
