Reply With QuoteShouldn't that be: "marry the woman I love?". Glad you've ticked another off your list. And not a bad choice of watch at that! P.S. Fixed those images for you.
Wanted one for a long time, looked at various iterations and settled for that. Arrived yesterday after a loooong wait...
To good not to share.

Gorgeous watch
But
A rather shallow list of boxes to be ticked
You never own a Patek ;)
How did you fix those images - when i attach a photo it comes out as a line of text to be clicked on.Originally Posted by jukeboxs

Next box to tick
Learn how to post pics 😄😄
On a serious note, there is a sticky re posting pics.
Did you actually drive an F1 car? What was it like?
I think that actually says:
'Jump out of a lane'
followed by
'Drive a fit car'
Thank you all. The pad was a little mise-en-scene. Don't read too much into it. Still..
The closest thing i drove to an f1 was an f3 and it was brutal! ;)
I married a beautiful woman (beautiful mind). Gorgeous looking too.
Bought and sold an F car is done too.
Few marathons too in fact.
Well, the Patek thing.. Thought might give it a go. Rose gold a bit much for me but next to the 5712g (white gold), there was no contest, had to be the 'r'. Still getting used to it.
Why did you tick it off the list then?
Bis repetita placent: not a list per se, a mise en scene.. ;)
I did not jump out of a plane either.. Ahaha. Maybe a i should do it.. With a Patek! :)

Buy a proper writing instrument may be? Just kidding - lovely watch - congrats!
I like contrasts in fact. A simple bic vs a Patek. ;)
Perfection to my eyes. ;) ;)
I am a bit of a contrarian. I feel comfortable wearing it driving my old battered vespa px125, dressed in jeans and converse.
If i was driving a italian sports car for example, i'd wear a much more inderstated watch. A very basic swatch for example.
Nice watches congratulation
Funny, I was just (earlier today) noting on another thread that I dislike the SS 5712 and dislike rose gold - but somehow they work together to make a very attractive watch. [ http://forum.tz-uk.com/showthread.ph...her-would-love ]
I still prefer (fortunately, money-wise) the 5711, but well done on the (partial, no doubt) bucket list!
I love how you're ticking the things off with the cheapest pen around!
Very nice. Do love this ref in gold.
I guess discounts poss on the gold models?
Hahahahaha!Shouldn't that be: "marry the woman I love?". Glad you've ticked another off your list. And not a bad choice of watch at that! P.S. Fixed those images for you.
Is this a joke?????
Add- be a show off (tick)
Make a tit if myself (tick)

And somewhere somebody is ticking off "buy a montegrappa chaos stallone" on their list of shizzle that will give my life meaning with that very pen and wearing a ten quid Casio.
Doubt it.
Why? Watch fan here doesn't get pens. Why do you imagine a pen fan who doesn't get watches is equally improbable?
Not improbable. Buying £30k watches then writing a pretentious bucket list and using a BIC is absurd.
Meh. Its just a bit of light hearted fun clearly, to introduce the watch. Makes a bit of a change to the usual bland "hey look at my watch" posts when people make a bit of an effort to be amusing.
Hilarious mate ;)
Didn't tickle me to be honest.
Looks like a list written back in the 80's when it was all red braces and hair gel! Buying stuff, tick, doing pretend dangerous stuff before I have a family and realise it's a bit silly, tick. Hahahahaha
What about Fook Mi and Fook Yu?
I have done exactly none of those things. :/
May not be the best humour in the world but at least someone gets it. Thank you Josh. ;-)
You should make it more obvious you're joking eric. Like put a smiley in the thread title or something. Otherwise some people might think you're serious...
Quite simply - you have failed!
Isn't ;-) a smiley?You should make it more obvious you're joking eric. Like put a smiley in the thread title or something. Otherwise some people might think you're serious...
And isn't there one in the title of the thread?
I am more and more worried that your new toy is resting on 116509 CPL, and that's not a laughing matter ;)
You gotta do these things, for your own reason. While you only live once physically, in your mind and spirit you live many lives
Yes to both mate. I was having a gentle dig at those that took your post too seriously, not you.
Nice watches, but shallow list, if your life's great ticks are basically 'buy stuff' I feel sorry for you.
Some people might add "stop being envious"
i cant imagine anybody who posted this sort of list with a Speedy would have been given such gyp.
Clearly you need help with your list from the esteemed membership here, whether you want it or not. Here's my suggestion:

Woops!
Cheers,

That list, I think they would have. Besides which some of the ticks haven't happened by the OP's own admission.
So a shallow list, which isn't entirely truthful and the parts that are supposedly genuine are basically bragging / showing off.
I don't think it would matter on the watch content at all.
I think the OP is a lucky man. If he is, perhaps, bragging a little - well, wouldn't you wish to share your luck/achievement? And anyway, it causes harm to noone. At my relatively advanced age, I have come to regard that as the most important criterion!
Could have been done without the bragging though.
Would have been enough, with a picture of the PP, that's it.
The picture with a white gold Daytona (unless a SOTC) and the list is very much "look at me, I'm ace because I can buy expensive stuff"
All really unnecessary
Corrected that for you
Back to your actual post
Well that's heck of a deduction there Sherlock.
Or should I say assumption? As you don't know my financial position or that of the OP.
All I said (and not particularly seriously) is that the list comes across as shallow, "ticking life's great boxes" is basically a shopping list.
You may think you have a handle on me, but you really haven't a clue, I won't justify my spending power or patterns to you, as I don't have to as I have nothing to prove. I also think it's vulgar, something you money obsessed colonials do not seem to understand as you're lead by the (not so) almighty dollar.

Do social security cheques count?
Yep, and Walmart payslips.
No, you are the one who comes into threads and craps on nice people.
Obviously none of his concern, as there isn't any monetary value to nice people, but there is to nice stuff, as the more nice stuff you have the better the person you are, well, according to the book of WindyCityPip
Please. The whole of this hobby is largely shallow materialism! And that is fine - we can't all be serious all the time, that would be awfully dull. Anybody who actually puts a watch on any sort of serious list of goals in life has gotta be either joking or a moron.
Or writing to Santa?
