I applaud you for your honestly and that this line of questioning didn`t ruffle you up.  I believe you.

If standing out is what you want, might I suggest a fancy hat or a monocle next time.  Don`t you think that may do a better job than a dyed Fu Man Chu?

Fucking right!!

BACK in the Corps we used to check-out watches. (Government issue courtesy of the Corps!)

I don't know if they were real expensive watches but they worked damn well in and out of water and under extreme conditions and glowed just enough so that the bad guys couldn't shoot your hand off after the sun went down.

Someone in Japan asked to buy the watch I 'checked-out' for a very decent price saying that it was worth every yen he offered, but I couldn't return to base with a pocketful of yen and no watch on my my wrist for some un-recalled reason.

Some of us 'forgot' to check them back in upon retirement or release from active duty, but I was too damn honest and have worn cheap but decent civilian watches ever since.

But I still don't like them to glow too brightly after the sun goes down for some damn forgotten reason.

Thanks for that picture, Turbo! But that was the cheaper military model. I think those were $16 units and you had to reimburse the government those $16 if you lost it.

My unit was a bit more 'exclusive' and got the more expensive ones with shit on it that I never needed nor ever completely understood how to use. I kinda miss it now.

i was blowing huge money gambling, and i needed something to make me quit. i said if i quit for a month this watch was free. i did it, but continued gambling since dammit.  it doesn't even keep that great of time, and if you don't wear it for 2 days you have to reset it.  i don't actually have a closeup pic of it

Speaking of which, I've been told by a 'Futurist' (one who thinks of stuff to invent for future development and gets good money for doing so) that cell phones and time telling 'devices' will soon be compact enough to be installed within your mouth in the same place where one of your molars used to be. And all forms of entertainment that you now go to movie theaters to see or watch on 60 inch plazma TV's will soon be experienced in 3D and Dolby sound via light weight 'sun glasses' at a cost of less than $400 per.

He showed me a very long list of future products that are being thought about, considered, and soon to be in production.

Hello Kitty ... probably made by the same company who made our military watches a while back. They took all those old military watches they found stored in some long forgotten government warehouse and painted a new face on them and made millions. But do they still glow in the dark?

The above reminds me of a Bob Hoffman warehouse story that has yet to be told to the masses. I gotta check those old warehouse guys and get the facts straight first before releasing it to the GetBig Papparazzi though.

Hazbin, what's your casino game of choice? I consider myself to be a fairly good Craps mathematician and am damn good at Blackjack Basic Strategy ... which simply means that I lose money in the casino a little bit slower than  the normal unknowing and uneducated casino sucker.

Disturbia is the smart but insane guy who sticks with Poker which gives him a decent chance to make a profit unless he plays in a casino where the rake makes that impossible. But I assume he cannot for fear of punching the dealer in the nose on any bad hand dealt his way. (Respectfully stated of course!)

(Am I telling ya anything about casino shit that may be new to ya here?|)

 If you wear a huge shiny watch you look like a douchebag clubber, wannabe player.

 Better to go subtle.

I’ve been wearing a Luminox Faststrap Series for the last 5 years.
Nothing fancy.
Tough as nails.
Because mine is older, the band looks slightly different from the one pictured - less color.



When the time comes to replace it, I may go with the A.1847:

You studs are evaluating watches as if they're jewelry. Get a fucking bracelet; why even bother with a bulky watch if you're only concerned with bling factor? A watch is for keeping time, a bracelet is for show.

A Bently won't get you to work any faster than a Toyota, in traffic.

A hundred bucks is generous, IMO.

 Usually a watch is just jewelry.

 To check the time you can just look at your cell phone these days. This ain't the 1980's anymore.

 The only time a watch is really functional is if you are travelling or playing sports or something.

This is exactly why I love and wear military gear, it's built rock solid and made to last!!

Most idiots don't know how to use a chronometer, or the computer part of a watch (logarithmic scale) for calculating things like speed, distance, etc. I happen to know and use these functions as well as the timer feature, maybe for a twink like you a watch is just a bracelet but to some people that bracelet is a tool with a variety of functions that a cell phone may not have.
