    Now for another grail piece... A Richard Mille... I remember walking into a boutique in Beverly Hills and i felt out of place and somewhat ashamed to look like a bum off the street.

    Joey Joe Joe,

    Aiyiyiyiyiyiyi..

    You felt out of place walking into a Beverly Hills commonality place. You felt like a bum, completely, utterly, helpless bum. Ashamed. Tail between the legs. Looking like someone off the streets., which by your definition, everyone else not in the top couple percent looks like a bum to you. As you aptly defined yourself.

    Do not mistaken successful people pointing out a bum as yourself, which in this case, I am just agreeing with what you stated.. Insert smiley here.

    Halen



    Hahaha.. yeah man I hear ya. BH isn't the place to be unless you're of that same BH mentality. Nice place to visit and "people watch" (no pun intended)... but a place I don't belong at.

    Ah well, it was an experience to go into that boutique. Atleast I tried to put the watch on... hahaha... they told me I could look at the watch through the watch case outfront - I couldn't even try it on.. lol! Couldn't really say much since I knew I couldn't afford it anyway and I was just there for fun so I didn't waste the salesperson's time.

    I did end up going to a different RM store later during my trip to LA and I got to try it on my wrist and it was a fantastic piece.... I can see why many like it.

    But yeah, that RM store in BHills... I got snubbed the entire time! I think it was one of those times where they "profile" you the moment you step foot in a store... I think my wife found it appalling that I went in to try a watch and was denied.

    I just found it funny rather than insulting actually.

    I see the Sea Spider with a bit of the Russian Diver, nice watch Zltful!

    Thanks. I am surprised how much I like this one.

    Hey Z

    How many watches you got man? Seems like more than you can count on 1 hand.

    With my latest rush on Invictas and Swatches, I am nearing 30 total. I have 2 more orders I am waiting on.

    Then I am settling down for a bit. One day, I would like to have the same option in my garage as I do in my watch cases..."Which one should I wear today..." ;)

    I liked @jflail2 's Brietling Super Ocean and @ZLTFUL 's Timex Expedition. I have a similar Timex that has temperature (air & water) and compass. Eeeeuseful. Nice looking to me and less than a hundred bucks. Bought on Amazon. Didn't have to deal with a condescending Personal Timepiece Consultant.

    Is the Super Ocean more than $100? :)

    Thanks VC! Yea, that was my first and to date only watch splurge. Back in 07ish I think it was about $2K or so. The simplicity is what appealed to me the most.

    That and if I ever die at sea, I know my watch will keep on ticking, hah.

    They will be able to tell when you died as well, because the power reserve will run out on your SO within 48h of you drowning!

    I'll tell you what, Casio has stepped it up over the past 10 years or so. Saw a Casio presentation about 2 months ago on ShopNBC or is it EvineLive now? A number of their timepieces were up around $350.00 or so. I had one back in the mid 80's (?) and wore it everyday,put it through he l l , I think the screen finally went bad after about 8 years.

    Yes, that one looks like one of the gunmetal distressed venom with the heat blasted dial. I saw a few of them on tv about 2 or three months ago.

    Looks sharp Zltful! I just noticed the sophistication of detail on the carbon fiber dial. No matter what you own, it's nice to have options in timepieces to wear. :)

    Thanks! I can say this will probably be my favorite "daily driver". At least until I get all of my hard bands resized (dropping 70lbs so far has effected my wrist size...go figure...)
    Congrats on the weight loss , sounds like you're doing great, keep it up Zltful! ;)

    30 watches!!!!....that's a lot of clams just to know what time it is. B)
    I feel like a pick with all 30 on one arm will really drive the point home. What would be even better is if you could set each to a different time zone. See ya in a week!

    Thanks P2009! I like how the sun just shines off the crown... so impressive in real life. I'm lucky to have this piece. My 3 other Rolexes are gathering dust since January of this year. The 4th Rolex (submariner) is my work watch so there is no way that'll gather dust. Hahaha

    One is my casual watch that I swap out different NATO bands on, depends on my mood!

    The other one is my work watch with a classic leather band.

    I can respect everyone's opinion , some people aren't into collecting watches or appreciate them and that's cool. Maybe they are into other hobbies and find joy with that. I'm more than happy to hear what others enjoy collecting out there. :)
