I shit you not!

So in walks our corporate attorney to begin covering issues
with me and our president for an upcoming trial when he
reaches across the table, and attached to his outstretched hand
is attached one of the coolest (Live Saving) watches in the world.
There on his wrist in all its glory is the Breitling Emergency.
You should have seen his face light up when I jumped up out
of my chair and yelled "Holy Sh*t, you have an Emergency".
My boss (the president) about sh*t his pants because he thought
I was talking about a real / medical emergency or something.
He spilled his coffee all over the conference room table and was
extremely pissed at me when he realized I was talking about a
"dumb fu*king watch" has he called it.
Our attorney was so happy that someone had finally recognized his
watch which he paid sooooo much for. He told me he bought it overseas.
He took it off and let me examine it wear it, etc. and before you know it
almost a half hour had passed before our president reminded me that
our watch conversation had just cost us about $150.

I just find it ironic that this happens only a day or two after someone starts
a thread about what life saving watch you would want if you were stranded....
that I spot the #1 watch in that thread.. the BE.

Some of us get excited when we "Spot a TV Star" sporting a watch we recognize
and post it here, I am even more geeked that I found one in person & got to
play with it! Yeah!!! for Me!

i've chatted with a BE owner as well...the guy was joking about how broke he was to which i replied 'well if you didn't blow all of your money on watches that could save your life, you might be able to afford a thing or two'

his jaw dropped and then we had a good ensuing conversation.

Man, our attorney is loaded, he was on GM's payroll for
about 15 years. He was the lead attorney who sued
Michael Moore for General Motors after Michael Moore
produced "Roger & Me". I've watched this guy pitch
a tent up some guys ass when cross examining someone.
I pray that I never get cross examined by him, he might
make me cry or something.

That is so cool, I've only had a look at the watch on a motor magazine!

 

[moggio]

very nice a good watch for a rich guy ... worth it

Very nice story! To bad no one cried in it. LOL

Just Kidding

I always get freaked when I see someone wearing something beyond the standard Rolex. It is pretty cool when you can meet another watch geek out in the real world.

 

[groovy]

Great story.

I too have become a watch geek and I'm always looking at people wrists.

A BE.........very cool.

"Holy Sh*t, you have an Emergency"

That'd be me right there.

You want to visit my Investment bank that I work at...I'm just an oddball IT support guy, but daily I see gens such as IWC Portuguese, Daytonas and VC, AP Royal Oaks and Panerai masterpieces. Rarely and If I ask, I get to handle them. These guys earn serious money and one of the traders got 18,000,000 as a bonus last year :shock:

Gen watches to them are like reps to me..... A new one every month!


Makes be sick but just further fuels my obsession with watches.

Apparently the coffee incident got around the office and
so I answered watch questions all day. I gave a little
advice here and there but did not reveal that my watch
was a rep. I got to show off my Omega GMT from Andrew.
Only a couple people know about my interest in reps. I also
found out that EVERYONE has a grandfather who passed along
a vintage Rolex to their father and will soon be passed to them
as well. Of course they are all in mint condition & appraised to
be valued at $100k.
Just to be a smart ass I always answered "thats all??". :lol:

You could have done one better, mashed the little button (or however you make those things start sending out the "I'm stinking rich-SAVE ME" beam or transmitter or bat-signal. You coulda just played dumb and said you used to have a rep one and always wondered what that little button did :shock:

Of course, he probably would have tried to sue you back to the 12th century.

I told him that if a trial is not going as well as it should be and he needs a quick
escape, just twist that capsule and when the national guard surrounds the courthouse
my best guess is that he will have a little time to gather his defense again.

No, but I think that is one of the funniest pictures I've ever seen.

This is me, I'm in the middle with the blue long sleve shirt. This is in the "Big House"
Michigan Stadium, it was last years thrilling last second win vs. Penn State.
The guy to the right of me in black is from the movie "The Matrix". :lol:
