    He'll smell good, but his watch may have a slight tarnish from spraying cologne on his wrists

    Considerably more, but managed to justify it to only himself, the scourge of our community imo.

    Contemplating the accumulated tat in his 'watchbox' - manky old smeggy sweaty NATO straps, free service cases, free display stands he blagged at the local AD, a single link from a long gone bracelet; and asking himself 'how much can I sell this lot for on SC. Plus postage. BT only. UK only. No lowballers.

    Ah sitting here on my rattan sunlounger sipping my Kopi Luwak coffee and smoking an electronic cigarette with a Lidl watch on (and nothing else) reminds me that life is good.

    This thread is better without pics.
    Although no trees were harmed during the creation of this post, a large number of electrons were greatly inconvenienced.

    He's indecisive about watches, but a captain of industry.

    Watches:

    "Might sell".

    "May be for sale".

    "Tentative".

    "I'm not sure about this".

    "Testing the waters".

    "Remorse".

    "I know I'll regret this".

    Business:

    "Get it done".

    "Make it happen".

    "You're fired".

    Talks about 'upgrading' his girlfriend for a younger, fitter, filly that doesn't answer back.
    Is 45 and lives on his own, with his parents.

    That's a word I do know - having read all of Stephen Potter's books on the subject. Remember 'if you are not one up, you are one down'.

    Does the book come with a complimentary pair of red braces?

    Constantly moaning about taxes and how unfair they are to "wealth creators", and scroungers with 50-inch HDTVs, and the goddamn public sector with their index-linked pensions, and chavs who just won't learn how to live within their means, and...


    ...do you think I should get rid of my old 997 and go for the new Turbo? Are the lugs on the GMT-IIc too fat?

    Sounds like a rant. Wouldn't this be more appropriate for the Random Disclosure thread.

    There is Steve who wears a fake Rolex and after 2 pints of bitter cannot help but tell everyone down the local pub stories about when he was in the SAS, he also has links to the Krays and is a bit of a bell end. He spends the rest of his time whining about the decline of Great Britain.

    Then there is Albert who is left wing, drives a Porsche, is metrosexual, wears a real Rolex, owns a vintage Tag and has a very good camera to take pics of them all. He spends the rest of his time whining about the decline of Great Britain.

    Then there is Joe who drives a Golf GTI that he bought on finance, he earns 30k/yr and owns a Rolex that he got on credit at Goldsmiths. Sooner or later he will flip the Rolex when he needs to pay for the Golf to get serviced. He spends the rest of his time whining about the decline of Great Britain.

    Then there is Fergus, he is loaded because he got a shit load of inheritance. His ass is retired and he has all sorts of watches and doesn't give a shit about Great Britain because he lives in Australia.

    There are many more...

    It's guaranteed to be legal to carry in the UK though having been advised of the requirements by numerous members following his 'Interested in buying a knife' post. He will be the last person on earth the police will stop and search so would probably get away with carrying a samurai sword down his trouser leg (the one hanging on his living room wall and posted in the 'interesting items in your home' thread).

    Doesn't see a cracked WW2 leather ammo pouch or binocular case - instead sees it as a tessellated pattern of watch straps for fliegers.

    Requires no education as to what Horween Chrome is either.
