Absolutely gorgeous watch, my friend - great way to kick off my birthday!

Now I'm off to sleep...

Happy Belated Birthday Moe "G", hope you had a great one

Guess you restrained on the rare blue Riseman?

Thanks Podster! I so far restrained myself from purchasing the Blue Riseman, but I did send the link of it and a couple of other G-Shocks to my family. If they say they will get one for me, I'll get it! Last year my mother got me a red, white and blue G-Shock (the one I posted on the 4th of July).

Didn't quite feel the love/welcome over there, etc., so I had to quietly leave that thread.

Wore these while I was at the SF meet last week:

Nice choices Moe, sorry the Lab did not work out. Wokei invited me in there and they have been pretty civil but have noticed creds are higher if you are a reviewer

Guess I have not offended anyone there yet but have been ignored a few times

What did Rodney say, "Can't we all just get along"

Thanks!  I had Suzette pick 4 out of 8 I chose for the trip.  

Yeah, Wokei invited me there too, and civility wasn't really an issue.  I've been ignored a lot on the thread (I'm used to it though, no worries), and saw envious/covetous-type posts, which I didn't appreciate.  Again, no worries!

Wearing this today (in the background is Ted's Silver Litz connected to the new Questyle QP1R):

BTW, it's definitely too late this year for San Francisco, but watchbuys.com does a yearly show in various cities and they have yet to open registration for the rest of the tour. The SF one is this weekend and I'll be there at the Saturday 1300 slot. They have information about their shows here: http://www.watchbuys.com/store/pc/WatchBuys-Road-Shows-d35.htm . It's totally free and you get to hang out with some watch guys and check out a very nice collection of watches. They pretty much bring every single Nomos and Sinn in addition to lots of other watch brands. If any of you guys are in the upcoming cities I highly recommend getting in if you have time.

Just checked out the site.  Whew, if you want to buy one of those watches, you got to come correct (meaning you need to have some to a lot of money to spend)!  Once I saw "Below $1,500" to the left as the least expensive selection, I knew this is one very very snazzy show site/sub site/etc.  I would have to purchase a Costco watch that costs a lot of money so I can go to the show and then return it for a full refund.  

  Just kidding...kinda.
 
Thanks for posting the link and invitation for whoever reads it - if I lived closer (I live in So Cal), I would have probably come to hang out (especially if the show had horderves).

Yeah, if you think audio stuff gets to crazy prices (and crazy impracticality), you should take a peek at some watches. Still its fun to take a look at some nice engineering. And I don't think anybody would diss you for wearing a non-expensive watch. For not wearing a watch, maybe 

.
 
No food (if I recall) but a nice setting and good conversation. There's one in LA coming up .
 
BTW, want to thank you for the great experience I had at the SF meet up. I was one of the earlier guys to show up.

For instance, the vomit-inducing price and appearance of this 201-carat Chopard. $25 million (yes, you read that correctly) for something that looks like cheap costume jewellery for an aesthetically-dumb five-year-old.

Uh-oh, here we go.

It honestly took me a solid minute of staring to find the freakin' faceplate. This is the epitome of more money than sense!
