Funny you should say that! Having ribs tonight for dinner...was marinating in some Bullseye BBQ sauce the last 3 days...

Yumcha 02-13-2015 02:12 PM

Gonna serve that up some roasted potatoes and TOSSED SALAD...my wife is tossing it. :nod:

Yumcha 02-13-2015 02:12 PM

And for V-Day, not sure...but, probably just hotpot...that's :rice:-style fondue for you gwai-ros.

Bought my wife a pendant from Tiffany & Co. Yes, I better be getting that BJ. And by BJ, I don't mean BoostedJack.

Bullseye bbq sauce.. marinade.. what is this? Pork ribs? How are you cooking them?

Fuck Tiffanys.. it's just a fashion brand in my book. They price silver like it's platinum. Just buy the box off ebay and let your wife take the little blue box around to show her :rice: friends.

Majofo 02-13-2015 02:16 PM

Again.. the no-go zone.. here's where you have your strippers, redheads, girls named Tiffany.. :rofl:

I have a couple of brosefs that date a lot of strippers.. well ..used to. One of which was named Tiffany. :rofl:

Not red-head though.. I even checked the carpet.

It's a beautiful hearse for sure. :tomato:


Under the hood nothing to complain about though. Never liked the Dodge tacky nose from 2004~2010 though. Caliber, Magnum, Charger, Avenger all have it. :ugh:

Only Tiffany I knew was one that went out with a friend for a year or two. Fast forward to around a year ago and I fall on a picture of her from the back with an apron but naked under in their kitchen on a humor & random shit website. Like a year after they broke up. Oops :tomato:

Slow cooker. It's been going since I left this morning. Not anything fancy cuz it's obviously too frigid to BBQ.

I am a very modest collector...6 pieces doesn't really constitute being a collector but I do follow the industry closely by reading up literature and collecting catalogs when I can. :)


Most recent was a Baume & Mercier Capeland that I picked up for a very nice price on Father's Day. Otherwise, my "crown jewel" would be the TAG Heuer Calibre 36 Grand Carrera.

For sports, swimming (i.e. the beach) and more rugged stuff, my "beater" is an Omega Seamaster quartz movement.

Although, from a personal sentimental value, probably my most prized watch is just a simple quartz Orient that belonged to my Grandpa...he treasured that piece and it was given to me when he passed away.

Great "little" collection you got there. Some expensive ones though, over my budget. :tongue: I'm more into more sport watches, ideally with smaller faces/cases because I have thinner wrists. Not the biggest fan of leather bands either, I prefer metal & clasps.

I'm eyeing the Seamaster line as my everyday/rugged watch, been for a while. I got my trusty Tissot PRS200 that is beaten to death, but these watches don't die. Gives me a reason not to spend I imagine. Heck, I found the Tissot in the water at the beach. Stepped on something while I was neck deep... use my toes to bring it to my hand... a watch... a Tissot? Poor guy broke the pin that holds the band and could never find his watch back.

Well, head over to the Timepiece/Watch thread in Ramblings. It's a wealth of information and like cars and anything, a hobby is what you make of it and what you can spend.

I could say some of my pieces are pricey but on the grand scheme of the horology world, petty cash. What I want starts at a minimum $45K (tourbillon complication, Swiss made)...and that's probably never going to happen.

Majofo 02-13-2015 03:04 PM

I know some skinny wrists dudes who wear expensive watches 3x their size.. They don't even change the default link length.. looks ridiculous.

I have zero comprehension of jewelry. At least with timepieces, it's an engineering marvel that takes years and years to research, master, and produce...but, a stupid rock that just sparkles? Ehhh?

Well, the woman was in labor for a few hours with the boy and does cook my meals. She can get an occasional "useless polished rock" from some overrated store for all I care. :rofl:

Horrid. There's a point when it looks like you're wearing a dish on your wrist. :ugh:

Waste of money. But, hey...not mine. :dunno:


That goes part in parcel with the :phil2: gangsta-yo-shizzle morons who put diamonds and other ugly crap around their timepieces. Wow. Ew.

Oh for sure. I have a dozen of cheap novelty/digital watches, usually Tokyoflash or similar and they're great timepieces in their own respect. Also great because you wear them without caring much. One of my favorite of the cheapos is a no-name skeleton automatic that just doesn't look like a $100 watch.


And yeah, the more complications, the more expensive usually. I can understand why though, these things are microscopic and so ridiculously complicated.

The one exception to the "big dish" rule is my weird fascination with U-Boat pieces...but, again, at least they follow a design concept...military-inspired looks like Panerai or Bell & Ross.

But, to encrust it with jewels or f*ck, make it spin? WTFBBQ??

Wagons are awesome for a few reasons:

1. There's way less of them on the road, making them that much more special
2. Generally people underestimate them, thinking it's just a wagon, then a CTS-V comes by
3. They can haul a ton of shit when necessary while still looking good
4. Wagons look badass when lowered
5. Bitches love wagons.

Only wagon I'd own would probably be one of these old turbo Volvos. Opening a can of whoopass on people with one of these must be hilarious.

U-Boats are 48mm and upwards? It can work depending on what you're wearing and if the band is fitted to your wrist.

But, the look is not for everyone...and I would not pair it with a suit.

TacoBello 02-13-2015 03:58 PM

I have a massive diesel watch that's well over 50mm. Looks badass with a suit. But then again, because I'm so big I can pull it off. Might not be the case for twiggy.

Depends on your style/tastes. If I'm going for a big-face watch, the brands I've listed would be more or less it.

Don't get me wrong, I would NOT kick a Speedy outta bed if it were there. Great, GREAT chronos and legendary pieces. :)

N1h1l1ty 02-13-2015 04:24 PM

Oh there are definitely more desirable timepieces out there. The Speedmaster just kind of calls to me more than anything else I can think of. I'm planning on picking one up for myself as a birthday present this year... if I don't spend all my cash on my TL :rolleyes:

Also the Rolex 6241 Daytona Cosmo. The face contrast is just perfect imo. I'm very much a fan of minimalism and this watch just does it so well.

Hmmm...no offense intended, but I've seen better looking Rolex Daytonas. I know you're saying you like that minimal look but when it looks like that, well, it completely makes it unidentifiable as a Rolex. You may as well use the $$$ for a Daytona on something else from say, JLC, IWC, Zenith, or etc.

That's just me though. :shrug:
