It's great, its basically a lease the same way you lease a car. Pay $x per month, get a new phone every year with full warranty. My wife dropped her phone and broke the screen. No big deal. Dropped it off at the store and had a brand new screen 30 mins later, free of charge. I may check into that. We’ll see if this cheap bastard (ME) would pay the $$$ LOL!!!

I have the iPhone X, largest size (so literally the most expensive phone they have) and its only about $55/mo which is still significantly cheaper than if you bought the phone outright plus added applecare. AND you get your phone before everyone else (or at least, you're pushed to the front of the online orders line) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunnyman666 Posted May 21, 2018 Author Share Posted May 21, 2018 Back to the topic of fine Swiss watches, my wife ended up with quite the collection thanks to me. She has two or three favourites (like we all do when it comes to multiples), and I must say my taste is impeccable. I will post pix on another post.

Your Roots watch is welcome if you want to show it. I am welcoming Apple watches, after all. According to my understanding of fashion, it is as much about the accessories (ie watches and the like). And if/when the accessories may be seen to be wanting, it is about how you accessorize the accessories. Here then, is my Roots watch, with Weber grill and beer accessories! (The watch and the BBQ are frickin tanks! The beer was rather ephemeral...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beer, BBQ and watches- three things I like! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Pucker Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Dude - I change my own effin watch batteries! I can get a strip of Maxell watch batteries off of Amazon for less than it costs to get somebody to look at your watch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No shame in changing your own batteries. But there are people who throw their watches away when it is a dead battery! I wish I was making that up!!!!

Honestly, I actually really like the look of some of the basic Timex Weekenders. They can go from super basic at Target for like $15 up to this one that I actually really want for $82.

Lucky Pucker Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 So, I’m not much of a watch guy (see Roots watch with accessories above) However, I DID have a Holy Grail watch when I was a kid. I saw this in a catalogue and greedily coveted it. The Brave Wave! Even the name was cool! Did I scuba dive? Hell no - that shit is dangerous (and actually came up in my life insurance medical interview... good thing they didn’t ask about playing goalie!) but man did I think this was cool. Actually, I still do! So I saved up my paper route money, went to Consumers Distributing, and bought it! I lost mine long ago, but Googling for a reference pic made me wonder if I should buy one again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
