What did I miss? Anything good?
I will say though, it was a nice 2 weeks.
My wife and I (well mostly her) had our second child so I too some time off work to be with them.
I also decided to take a (mostly) 2 week break from anything internet and social media.
It was magical.
What was once created as a tool to bring people together (I'm primarily talking about Facebook), has been pretty much weaponized, and has caused so much division. It is just an awful place to be.
I couldn't have picked a better time for a black out...election time.
But all good things must come to an end and now I'm back lol.
So yeah, what'd I miss?

 

Congrats on the new family member, good to take off time from the internet having time to enjoy it,.
Oprah came along with free watches for everybody so that was the biggest thing that happened.

 

Congrats

Not that much, Space x took off again, trump lost (dont think he knows yet. Shhhh) the All Blacks got beat twice in a row, guy with the dirty hands and the Rolex got banned @Barking mad bought a nice red bezel Wittnauer.

 

Not much went on. A glut of 2915s and 2998s flooded the market and sold for pennies on the dollar, but really once we all scored 3 or 4 each it wasn't very noteworthy.

 

@JwRosenthal spotted a cheap deal on eBay, that was cool

 

So not too many "my grandfater..." or Ultraman threads popping up? lol

 

I thought I found a few good deals, then @janice&fred went and found a Hamilton Intramatic panda for like $7- totally blew the bell curve.

 

There was a "my younger self..." post by me that was nominated for post of the year by the admins

 

And you miss the potential post of the year

Vintage action figures [NOT dolls!] have assumed control of the watch world...

 

And you can't seem to settle on a new avatar apparently hah.
It always throws me off when people get new avatars. It is something I notice.

 

Oh man hah!
I will say that in middle school I was quite the Ecko fan


This takes me back to my young skater days.

 

@SadKen solidified his status as an official OF member when seeing this listing:


and responding this:

“Please tell me that is an arm the Accutron is being displayed on “

Yeppers...I tend to change my avatar fairly often...I just changed it at a Naval Aviation forum that I frequent...



Also...congratulations regarding the new addition to the family!

 

Lol thank you @Mad Dog

 

Be nice to HeyJoe.

 

Congratulations to you and your wife on your new bundle joy. There’s a lot more work involved but I’m sure it is better than buying a new watch.

 

Hear the waiting list is Only 9 months compared to Rolex 18-24 months

 

You know HeyJoe at AW?
