Ever since I've gotten into watches I've found myself looking at everyone's watches all the time trying to catch the brand name or figure out what it is. If I don't get a good look, I ask. People think I'm weird for doing this. Nearly everyone is wearing some $40 Fossil, so I guess that's why.

One of my professors wears what looks to be an IWC. I've been meaning to ask him about it. I can't tell from a distance.

Watchdar is fun, it's like overload for me when I'm in Vegas, NYC, or Miami.

I also pause movies, tv, and porn, to see what models they are, lots of Breitlings in porn, obvs.

That AP Tourb is a least better looking than the diamond encrusted Mille or Mueller or whatever it is seen from the side of one of the first Google pics.

50% is probably a low number. The amount of "gold jewelry" these guys wore to make themselves look rich (while playing 10/20) was pretty lol. It was like they dressed up and blinged out to come to the SICKKKK 10/20 LHE game filled with a bunch of old passive calling stations.

That does sound like a sick game.

The 10/20 game at the horseshoe in Tunica used to be like that, it was like printing money.

Yeah I haven't put in a losing session at that game yet (obviously I'm running very hot) and consider I had a > $1000 downswing in 90 minutes there once.

BTW, I am looking to get sell or trade this watch:

Tradewise I'm in the mood for a diver, Seiko Sumo, Marathon JSAR or auto SAR, or maybe a Seiko Tuna, but I'll consider other stuff.

For a sale I'm looking for $350. It's 44mm, beadblasted finish, mostly in good shape (there's a small smudge in the blasting on the top right lug), no box or papers. Manual wind ETA 6497.

I enjoy it too. Working in finance gives me great looks at a ton of nice watches. My boss rocks an awesome IWC each week on Fridays.

I would obviously tell you he has terrible taste. FWIW, I was referring to the pic of the Hublot, as well as the watch he's wearing, which is equally as gross.

So it's manual and not auto?

How is the lume?

Right, manual wind only.

The lume is ok, I guess, nothing special. If you are a lume freak you won't like it.

Not sure if I like this or not. Someone has offered it to me for the glycine. On a market value basis, I'd be pretty dumb not to take this offer.

Glycine Airman (possibly the airman 7) probably. He's worn other airman models before.

You're a flipper and have a good grasp of that whole trade deal, take it.

As for wear, eh, like the hands a lot but numbers/face text not so much. Looks huge, how big?
