Upcoming Blasters and Products

When we were in HK, the watch man used to come into the office every second Monday.

When we knew that there was a bunch of US consultants coming for a project, we would all wear our fake Rolexes and make sure that the fakes were visible to stick it to the septic tanks wearing their real expensive Rolexes - their usual mark of superiority

One weekend at Stanley markets, I found an over production or transition run of Casio watches. Instead of black plastic it was brown. Wore it to the executive lunch room on Monday and while all the pommie execs showed their new fakes I proudly displayed my new fake Casio. Used to love sticking it to the poms

Oh-Oh…
Now you’ve done it…

One brand i do like is Venezianico.
2 Young brothers , in italy founded it a few years ago…
Micro brand that got big.

They make very unique and interesting pieces…at a fraction of the price of Rolex’s

Gen 1 burton, coming along…( to keep it legit!)

This one is blue mother of pearl…many pieces for unique effect…

This one is made from a meteorite, crashed to earth…

The patterns are naturally occurring, and called widmanstattern patterns, or similar.

Every watch has a different pattern.
They can show you a few, before you buy.
How many billions of years old, and how many billions upon billions of miles its travelled, is anyones guess…on my wrist now.!!

The far left is made from Turquoise…i like the striking blue, if you havent noticed…reminds me of the sea…

Very different, very eye catching, and a wide variety available…

Buy 30 of these, for the price of 1 rolex…!!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

They make limited edition runs of 500 or so, so they will be collectable in the future…

Burton needs a pull down and barrel polish…
otherwise all good…

Nice…!!

I’m feeling generous today…

I’ll offer you 2 half sucked lifesavers, and half a packet of used gels for it…!!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

FB flashback…!!

Lucky you’re not Vishnu then, Beemer… :rofl:

i am watching you… watching you… watching you… watching you… watching you… watching you… watching you… watching you… watching you… watching you… watching you… watching you… watching you…

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

“I know what I have no lowball offers”

Tempting.

I love me some meteorite dials.
I wish I could afford a GMT Master II with one. One day….

I started with seikos when I was younger, never really got into the microbrands to be honest. There’s a few I’ve been impressed by with certain models, like Revelot. They have one called the Hexmariner, which has some pretty cool looking dials.
But for the most part I just avoid buying watches until I have the money for the ones I originally had my mind on. Was on the waitlist for a bluesy sub for three years, completely forgot about it until I got the call. Lucky it was right around tax time lol.

3 Half sucked mars bars…
2 wells blasters…
and a partridge, in a pear tree…!!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

The games rolex play…

waitlists and unobtanium…all to add to the belief that they are worth squillions…

I do like the rolex watches…very classic …but the company propaganda and sales crap turns me off…

I do like the venezianico pieces…they’ve won a few awards and are getting bigger… im happy to buy a few from and support them…

I like the piece made from red coral…
very striking, unique and different…

@HelterSkelter and @DChapo I just checked… actually have a spare mag for each of you… and batteries in them! (Yes yes… I didn’t thoroughly check everything on arrival because I am a busy idiot.)

So 1 spare battery, and 3 spare mags with batteries.
Limit 2 per customer- first in best dressed!

I will let you fellas know when I have made a listing, and they are ready, it will be unlisted so you will need to use the link I send you :wink:

You stare at the time too much, life goes slow. Or you are bored. When you are busy and can’t check the time, it’s over in a flash :wink:

Some jobs you need them, but I don’t, daylight, nightime it doesen’t matter. Just do what I gotta do when the job needs to be done. Working for yourself you can do that. I have to have a word to my boss about my beer situation ran dry days ago, what’s goin on :laughing: I threatened myself I’ll quit. :rofl:

How much do they average price wise those Vene ones you like? Genuinely curious just cause.

Just don’t ask yourself for a raise or you might give yourself a hard-on :joy::joy:

I’ve got a discount code, for 20% off…

About $1k per watch , or thereabouts.

That’s comparable with luxury brands, like ‘Tissot’ here in Aust.

I buy them, because i genuinely like their unique designs.
Also, i like supporting the uderdogs, rather than the big brands.

Given you can get a good Seiko dress watch for around $700-800… this is not much more expensive… and something very different.

The truth is, i wear my work casio at work, and mostly dont wear a watch much at home…just when i go out…

Most people dont notice, or care…unless they have a interest in watches.

Thats fine… i wear it because i like em…not for other people…

Starting price for a base model rolex is around $30 000…$130 000 for a daytona ice blue…!!

So i’ll take these anyday…

$170 000…!!!
:crazy_face: :crazy_face: :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

its ridiculous…

because they play silly games, and have years long wait lists…
the price of “buy it right now” 2nd’s …goes even higher…
madness…!!!

At a grand apiece, those three watches in your photo cost twice as much as my first car. :rofl:

Different perspective, I guess. :wink:

My first car was $4k…
And that was a big spend, at the time…

Thankfully, my position has improved since then…
Which is why we work.!

you want some Rolex , here are some Rolex cost about US$74
looks good and can’t tell it is fake (from China)
