And about the crusty dinosaur
I still wanna wear a bow tie. It’s extinct now, yet, I like it so much.
I have a small collection of bow ties (the ones that have to be self tied).
Given the choice, I’d wear a suit when going to the city. But the people around me frown upon that concept. I’m the odd one out.
A great conversation starter (no need pics)
All by myself today, I headed to the city of Sydney, for some coffee and cycling apparel. I dressed in athleisure wear. A lacoste white polo T, white drawstring linen trousers (from Uniqlo), and an all-white Nike AF1. Watch was an Airking. Sunglasses were...
Nice story. I could see the entire conversation and your dress without any photo help. Nice narration.
Thanks for sharing. Regards
Thanks I tried my best
Creative juices flowing today. Sometimes words, like a book, more narrative than a picture, in this instagram age. What watch did you wear today?
I’d categorize this as a discreet Purist watch. If I see this on somebody in the wild, I won’t hesitate to strike a conversation..
Could pass for some sort of secret handshake
It is almost like a masonic handshake
Surprising it is. I did venture to other brands like Omega, which sometimes get lukewarm responses (like today) or enthusiastic replies. Oh yes I saw a ubiquitous JB seamaster 300 professional today which looked so good on the man wearing it. I think it i...
It was nice reading your story about your day, it sounds like a lovely day that will be remembered!
That’s what life it’s about, experiences, nothing else! Happy you learned that not all Rolex owners are a****s; and look the same as you pointed out on an earlier post;-))) Rolex is king,and everyone is welcome in the kingdom! As for being a “Crusty dinos...
I was wrong
I’m sorry, I made a broad statement that the Rolex owners are the same, in the post earlier this year. They are not the same stereotype. All walks of life, we have pure explorers, business owners, Dalai Lama, Robert Redford and more. They are the icons of...

That’s the spirit! I salute you!💪🏻
“Be who you are, everyone else is taken”. If you aim for cyclists body you will definitely have it as well as the watches named above should be in your collection soon! Never give up!😉
I told them your story today
100% serious. The cautionary tale of a house break-in, and Sothebys who sold your watch even when you reported it stolen, with the papers. Their jaws dropped.
Antiquorum it is
And the unique Chopard. I don’t know how your story came into the picture but it did. Were you thinking of me today? Hmmm? Resonance perhaps…
Nice story Cookies! I wish and would love to have a nice cofee shop near my home where I could find some guys to share the watch passion feeling and a good watch/Rolex related talk.
Keep enjoying that place and the good company! Thank you for sharing! Abel
Slowly it can be found
They just mysteriously appear, like elusive snow leopards. That being said, I shared a story, of me stumbling across the one of the rarest bird in Australia. It is the Night Parrot. One day I was just walking my dogs, and shone the torch into a field. The...
Great tale! Pleasant experiences.
Thanks for reminding us that the love of watches is stronger than negativity.
Great story.
I too have been fortunate to strike up a conversation or two with like minded individuals, where “hey, hope you don’t mind me saying it but that’s a cool watch” (or something to that effect) transmuted into a conversation about food, spirits, work, cars, ...
Cheers to a great 2023
May you have a great year ahead and may we all meet great people at cafes.
Hi Cookie’s
Firstly happy new year! I enjoyed reading your post it sounds like an enjoyable day you had. Whilst I’m awful at golf, I do like watches and cycling and Rapha, but most of all I enjoy a good chat and irrespective of all the material items, for me the chat...
