  1. They didn’t want the suspension to go beyond this series. I think that’s stupid but I’m pretty sure that was the reasoning.

     

    Pretty surprising that people think the ref or linesmen saw the crosscheck but didn’t call it in game. No way they swallow the whistle for something so blatant.

  2. I’m absolutly watching the game through homer glasses but the refs aren’t calling enough penalties, especially slashing which they stated would be called the same as the regular season, on the Preds.

     

    The uncalled tripping at the 2:05ish mark in the video directly lead to a goal. It’s bullshit........unless I’m wrong about this being a trip (I’m not). I hope the Avs get a bunch of makeup calls in games 3 and 4.

     

     

  3. The trade war we started last week will have much greater impact on the world. Crippling the world economy will effect every single market. Bombing Syria is nothing more than trying to create a distraction. You don’t have to worry about Russia as they’re in cahoots.

     

  4. That sounds pretty great except that Walmart is terrible for local economies and totally exploits their workers to the legally allowed limits.

     

    How's the quality of produce and packaged meats compared to when you pick it out yourself? Do you tip?

  5. Avs are going to try the whiteout for game 3. Makes a bit of sense because snow and avalanche but I think it’s a bad play. The team needs all the energy possible which includes a sea of burgundy jerseys. A white out just blends the home fans with the Preds fans.

  6. He has a Panerai of some kind, a green Submariner, a Lange Saxonia, and I think some kind of a sporty Patek from before the prices went bonkers. He may have a few others he hasn't mentioned to me, possibly a JLC.

     

    Setting aside all the other valid reasons not to do it, I would be worried about getting a Rolex due to the way people would react at work. If money wasn't a factor, yadda yadda, I'd probably go with this model:

    I’m jelly of that collection. No wonder he uses the term timepiece.

     

    People seem to notice the Rolex brand.

     

    Another watch I forgot in my list is the Tudor Northflag. Check it out.

     

     

  7. Suited, what about this?

    The grand seiko line is so ****ing awesome because most people will look at one and think it's a nice looking inexpensive quartz watch but watch people will know it's a quality automatic to rival the best swiss manufacturers. The spring drive is legit in the horology world.

     

    I'd love to own the snowflake. The linen dial with the blue second hand and the way the indicies pop off the surface is super attractive but I would be worried the power reserve indicator would drive me bananas. I have the SBGR061 with a cream dial, blue second, and date complication on my wish list. It has the older Seiko logo under 12 o'clock and the grand seiko branding above the 6 o'clock which makes it more stealthy.

     

     

     

    What about this one?

    This is nice if you like the look. I'd buy used unless you expect to pass it down to your son someday.

     

    My brother, the one that never posted here, described Rolex as a “good, basic starting point” for watches (“timepieces”). Obviously I am not playing in the same tax bracket as he is.

     

    What's on his wrist? I'll guess an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 41 if he's cool, a Patek Philippe moon phase if he's as much of a pretentious twat as your post implies, or a jaeger lecoultre reverso if he's all kinds of awesome.

     

    A lot of watch people look at rolex as a quality tool watch, which some are, and a lot of non-watch people look at rolex as overpriced douchey status symbols, which can also be true. I'd happily wear an Explorer no date 214270, Milgause, or even a Submariner 14060M.

     

    Also on my wants list besides the GS and Explorer:

    (my next purchase) Omega Speedmaster Pro 42 sapphire sandwich (I'd prefer a snoopy speedy but they're stupid expensive due to the collectors market)

    Jaeger LeCoultre Master ultra thin moonphase

    Panerai Luminor PAM005

    DornBluth & Sohn cal.99.1 with blue applied numerals

    Sinn 556 anniversary anthracite dial

     

     

    I don't have enough money to collect watches but they're fun to get to know and dream a little. Watches are the nicest machines ever made by man which are obtainable to the general public.

  8.  

    Don’t get me wrong here. If the process was as simple as “put match to bills,” I would have done it. I just don’t know how the system works and didn’t want to spend the time to figure it out. I will definitely buy that watch within 24mos, and I won’t feel the slightest bit bad about it. I ****ing love the knockoff I bought.

     

    Some people drive $80k trucks, I drive a mid size sedan. I’m only spending a tiny fraction of that difference on this watch!

     

    Don’t doubt my ability to rationalize stupid shit.

     

     

    -Go to the subreddit at least one minute before the raffle is scheduled to go live.

    -save this to your clipboard, “one random spot” or however many spots you plan on taking

    -refresh until you see the new thread

    -post the copied phrase in the reply box

    -wait for 2 PM’s; first will show you your assigned number, the second will give you the PayPal address to send funds

    -send PayPal friends and family only

    -reply to the second PM with the info it asks for

    -sweat your spot

     

    The most coveted watches will fill in under a minute. The Rolex Milgauss from this morning filled almost instantly.

     

    I’m all for spending money on a luxury watch. I have a segregated savings account I’m slowly funding with the intention of buying a Speedmaster pro but I could swing back to wanting a seamaster planet ocean before I get the money saved.

     

     

  9. Have you ever done that before? Looks interesting.

     

    I've entered many raffles but have yet to win one.

     

    I thought it was odd to see the exact watch in two completely different places on the internet so I figured I'd link you in for the off chance you'd want to buy a spot for $23 on a 1/100 shot.

     

    You seem like the kind of guy who likes a neutral EV long odds gamble and wouldn't mind lighting $23 on fire. I'm sure you recognize this isn't your standard to-go fountain drink splurge kind of situation here.
