That's awesome.
Technically speaking, @rjbrooks7 called dibbs on the John Player Special long before @surjimmy, and he recently got it. Just saying....dibbs rules apply.If you don't call it someone else will and then the knee breaking threats start and it gets all ugly.... Be better!!
But, But, I'm special....DIBBS!
You had your chance, but you were kicking tires, lol.
We all know you are a grand master level watch god ... But don't you have at least one beat up banged around pile of please fix me sitting around to show off on occasion ? As usual nice watch Mr.
Thanks Don.
I've had a few here and there and sold them. Normally stuff that I've bought second hand and can't get past a ding or some other blemish. For some reason I can live with wear that I've put on a watch myself, but it drives me crazy if it's someone else's handy work on a non-vintage watch. The most recent one was a bronze cased Nav B-Uhr.
There's been a few occasions that @rjbrooks7 has suggested swapping watches and I've asked him if he's really thought that completely through. I'd probably have a loupe on hand when he was ready to give it back. It would be like Kitty on That 70's Show with the shoes that Red scuffed.
On that note, I did bash the bezel of the Sinn on something stacked in a customer's garage today. Not sure what it was, but I think it came out of it unscathed.

I had two $30 beaters for sale the other day (my old range watches) and I think Don was the only person to give them a second glance. Heck, I probably would have sold the pair for $40.
Um… didn’t know you swung that way.
Darren and I looked, citizen and a timex if I recall correctly.
Casio G-Shock and Timex Shock
First Raymond Weil watch I saw was worn on screen by Dennis Miller in the movie "Murder at 1600." I did actually look for one and found a good collection at a local department store but did not find that particular watch. Amazing how many watches I've seen in movies, liked and never bought.
