I don't need another watch

[Oh Crap]

I really don't. But after @Dave2302 persuaded (bullied) me into selling one to him there is a hole in my watch box (although it was full) so now I finally pulled the trigger on an XF Pelagos that will go onto either a bond nato or a ratty black leather strap. Decided to use Hont this time, as usual, no issues.
And I still have my eye on a special build...

Black or Blue?

 

[Kerbus]

Yep, I know the feeling. Gotta fill another box. They don’t rep the size cartiers I want oh well

 

[Oh Crap]

Black or Blue?

Black although it was nearly blue

 

[Warwickhunt]

Black although it was nearly blue

I always wear the black one over the blue but I really wanted to like the blue more

 

[Oh Crap]

That's it exactly, I wanted the blue but the black would be worn more..
Oh crap I forgot to include the mandatory timeline for the noobies
Picked watch
Contacted Hont
Sent money
Money rejected
QC sent
Money resent
Money rejected again..
Hont said "hey you fool use this revolut link"
Money sent
Hont Happy ... We all happy

 

[Oh Crap]

Just to poke more fun at myself ...
I got the QC pics before payment, sound, and I looked at them and the ref number.
Then the transfer issues occured and took a bit to resolve but resolved it was. Gave the green light for watch ref 7****3.
Jaysus I says this is a lucky watch, the ref is the last 6 digits of my phone number, I'm a lucky bas***d. Hours pass and I sneak a peak at the pictures again and smuggly smile at my good fortune. PENNY DROPS sure he's using my number from communicating for his reference duh 🫣

Story of my life. Told myself I was done after the last one… then the VSF No Date Sub landed and somehow it “needed” a buddy.

I’ve started framing it as R&D for my future Watchsmith career — sounds better than “I caved again.”


It’s never just another watch. There’s always a reason.

 

[Oh Crap]

I'll wear that hat with pride

 

[Got20Mate]

I knew I had a problem when I shifted an entire collection of top reps to fund a gen. Gen arrived, on wrist great feeling and somewhat a personal accomplishment for me.

Then I found myself looking at the best rep availabile in the market to match my gen, so I could buy and compare it. Then I started collecting reps again and the cycle repeats.

You never neeeeeed another watch. But it's so much damn fun buying them!

 

[Dave2302]

That ginger gal with the hat on doesn't 'arf look like our daughter in law, it could easily be her, it's the sorta thing she would do

Is that your way of giving permission for a slew of in-law jokes?

 

[Warwickhunt]

The correct number of watches is the same as bikes - always just one more....

 

[Dave2302]

And cars, and boats, and holidays and sex and alcoholic beverages etc etc ....................................................................................................

Give him both barrells

I have a soft spot for my mother in law....

I have some quicksand in my back yard.

 

[Wingding1984]

I'm not saying that my mother in law is ugly, but I've seen better legs on an oil rig.
