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.

Nah man, you just have to shift your priorities. For example, do you really need to eat EVERY day? Is family really THAT important? Is riding the bus THAT bad? Do I really NEED two kidneys?

Obviously kidding, but I am sure you will get your grails one day. Hopefully it's because this site takes off and you make all the money. Lord knows you deserve it!

I know you're joking but that's literally how I live my life. Every non watch purchase I make, I compare to buying a watch instead. Like "oh here's a new $1200 fridge, sure looks nice. But boy I could get a really nice watch for that [emoji848] "

I know you're joking but that's literally how I love my life. Every non watch purchase I make, I compare to buying a watch instead. Like "oh here's a new $1200 fridge, sure looks nice. But boy I could get a really nice watch for that [emoji848] "
Watches are really my only luxury item in my life. I am otherwise incredibly frugal. I was hanging out drinking with a buddy recently and realized my situation. I told him "bruh, I am wearing $15 khaki shorts from Costco, a $7 polo from target, Adidas from the outlet and an effing Omega. WTF?"

He responded "I am wearing shorts from Marshalls, a purple rain t-shirt from target, Adidas slips from an Amazon lightning deal and a Tag F1"

We both laughed about it, and it caused some reflection. I don't care about other nice things, just my watches. My phones have always been under $200 and last 3-4 years, I shop at discount grocery stores, I pack my lunch every day, have the cheapest cell phone plan, use the cheapest laptop I could find, drive a modest car, cook dinner for the wife and I rather than going out(although we still do, that is an indulgence we both enjoy) and just generally don't overspend on anything. . . except for watches. I guess we all have our vices. At least watches have great resale amirite?!?

This post should be flagged as erotic content. Pictures of that movement do funny things to me ‘down there’. Am I the only one?

Beautiful movement. Not that you would ever do this, but I almost wonder if you can flip the movement so that the dial is hidden against your wrist. Who needs to time things or know what time it is when you can get lost in this mechanical marvel?

Aren't cell phones for telling time anyway? [emoji2369]

This works as mod-Monday material. The strap is not original.

I'd say a dive watch is a tool watch, so you're complaint in my book.

X2 just use that bezel to time something and you're good! Or not, either way, TWT compliant.
