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 friends.

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.
Had some good ol' fish and chips yesterday. Whip up a little tartar sauce and it's just perfect.

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

She says f*ck robots, f*ck timepieces, f*ck Italian suits, and etc. and so, it's give and take.

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.

I am a very modest collector...

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.

Great "little" collection you got there. Some expensive ones though, over my budget. 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 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.

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.
#194
Waste of money. But, hey...not mine.
That goes part in parcel with the gangsta-yo-shizzle morons who put diamonds and other ugly crap around their timepieces. Wow. Ew.

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.

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??
DAFUQ IS WRONG WITH THOSE PEOPLE?!?!?!?!??

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.
