As you may have noticed, we we're offline this morning. This was caused by the "Thanks" plug-in going rogue and using up way too many server resources. This triggered an automatic suspension by our hosting provider as they thought it was a malicious attack. The "Thanks" plug-in has been disabled, hopefully temporarily so I can determine if that was indeed the cause, and take steps to prevent it from happening in the future.
I apologize for the disruption and for any confusion that may have caused.
I have one of these. Sitting in it's box, unsized and unworn with all plastics. Picked it and two 033s up when Amazon had them on the cheap. I was gonna keep it, but my dad fell in love with it. I told him I sold it. Since he is a definite WIS and even offered to trade me his Squale for it, it is gonna be his Christmas/thanks for all you did for my wedding present. Same with the other 033. It is going to the father in law in the same manner.
As much as I love it, it would compete for the same wrist time the 065 and SJE073 already fight for. But man, every time I look at it, it is love all over again. The SARB033/035 are well hyped for good reason, they are borderline the perfect all around watch.

That's a really great gift man. I agree it doesn't make a great deal of sense for you to own it, but none of this really makes a great deal of sense lol. I would probably always want to wear the SJE if I wear you. Never been a very big **** Time fan. If I were you I would still maybe borrow the 035 from your dad once in a while. I always keep the 033 on the bracelet and usually switch brown leather straps on the 035. Honestly those 2 watches are partly what keep me from moving upmarket with my purchases. They are exactly the point of diminishing returns IMO. I would probably have to move way up to your SJE to see a big jump in quality. I'm selling some new ones now but both of the 033 and 035 that I actually wear were both pre-owned and less than $300. That's just really tough to beat.
Good points. When I look at the 035, I kinda feel foolish spending what I did on the SJE or even the **** time. The SARB035 is just so. . .perfect. I like the size much better than the SJE or 065. While I can pull them both off, and they are not obnoxious, I can't help but think how perfect they would both be at 38mm.
At least I can always borrow my dad's(once he gets it!). Good thinking! He is a little more reckless than I, but we have an agreement that I can borrow his, but he can't borrow mine. Mostly.
SDCC is over.
Tomorrow's flight home can't come soon enough.

Was this thread about to go a week without an update? I still have my Old Fashioned mix and bitters but only have Irish whiskey in the house. This is made with Jameson Black Barrel.

It's almost five o'clock somewhere. This cheap cab from Trader Joe's jumped out at me because they put Lodi so prominently on the label. I figured that only a winemaker with pluck would brag about Lodi. I can't tell yet what it's like -- I'm letting it breathe.
Update: It's been an hour, and this wine is truly awful. It hits my palate at different places with jarring, discordant sensations. Welles would not be amused. *sigh* Some people buy lottery tickets, I buy cheap wine. I should stick with Guinness.

Did you mod another leather strap for your Timex Rugged? Or did it simply fit on there as is?

I just moved the Fossil strap I'd modded for my G onto my Timex Rugged. It's loose (16mm -> 18mm), but I don't notice. I have a black nato from CheapestNato on the way that I plan to mod for the Timex.
