One of the guys at our alphabet soup gathering yesterday brought a Farer . . .
. . . and I'll ask him to post a photo in this thread. I'd never heard of Farer before, and at first was taken aback by the bronze crown. But upon reflection, it's a deft touch for a new brand.
Nice!
It's an ADDICTION!
But then you all know that. I'm wearing this GP today hoping it will help to keep my wallet in my pocket. A piece I've had for many years-and one I love. Of course, part of that love is for what it is: a chronograph-the complication I always come back to....
J Geils Band! " Love stinks " among other songs. A top rock band. As for watch addiction, what can I say. We have many bad teachers, here; Live your passion.
OR... Upgrade the collection. You will have to downsize it a bit to fund the bigger piece. Best, Nicolas
I don’t have shovel marks on my neck.
But I have two little puncture wounds there. Any idea how that happened?🤔
Saw J Geils twice, opening for the Stones at the Coliseum . . .
. . . in October '81. Great band on vinyl, even better live! This particular show was filmed a week later in the Bay area, but should give you an idea of what they were like at the time. Mick is the best front man in rock, hands down, but when it comes to...
I’m putting Jagger to the test tomorrow night.
My kids said they all looked like they’ve aged.
Biased as I am, I think your kids are right, judging by . . .
. . . video clips of the current tour. They just don't have it like they used to. Or, maybe they need a few warm-up shows to get their groove on. Who knows? What I'm quite sure of is this will be the last go-around. Glad to see you're taking them in, Padj...
I was at both Stones shows in LA that weekend, so I caught J Geils . . .
. . . at the top of their game twice. Also George Thorogood and the Delaware Destroyers. Prince was famously jeered off stage Friday, and didn't return for the second show Sunday. There were over a hundred thousand fans in attendance for both shows, if me...
Couldn't find opening sequences for either LA show, but here's a clip . . .
. . . from their Dallas show three weeks later. . . . and they've never played it since . . .

. . . and harmonizes with the rotor as well. Aesthetically pleasing case design, too . . .
. . . with milled(?) inset cavity from lug to lug.
Another classic played on the juke box . . .
. . . most Wednesdays at Maggie's! Left my wallet at home, sugarpop.
Here is my Farer
A very interesting chronograph that is well sized with a nice vintage vibe. I love the colors. This one is called the Cobb. ETA 2894-2 Elabore. ...
The bronze crown in the photos is
a big turn off for me. I love the colorways and think they have a lot of potential in the Micro brand space but not sure I'm down with the crown! Of course if I saw the real thing I may feel differently but for now it's a detractor.
I didn't get it, either, at first glance . . .
. . . but it didn't take long for me to appreciate. Especially when viewed from the back . . .
At least it’s not an unhealthy addiction :)
A nice story of enthusiasm and impatience. What I like is these pieces bring you pleasure and are unpretentious. Do you still have/wear both your rose gold and white gold PLM’s? Or did you move on from one in trying to size down your collection. It’s so s...
There are certain financial health issues!
Don’t we have a member here named indebtbutontime?! But collecting seems to be all about dry spells followed by serial acquisitions. At least in my case. I’ll stop reading WT for a while now.
