And then top up with a big basket of fries loaded with cheese, a deep fried Chicago style pizza and a litre of coke

 

The only liquid that comes into this house in litre containers is either milk, or single malt scotch (preferrably more of the latter).

I haven't drunk Coke since I was about 15 or so (and that's a long long time ago).

 

Always say to the Bundy drinkers they need the Coke to dilute the poison they are drinking.

 

Bundy made me swear off rum for many years. Until a mate introduced me to Mount Gay Eclipse, and then I tried a few more (Appleton Estate 21YO being the best so far).

If I ever get sick of scotch I may switch to rum full time.

 

Thanks for the recipe, will definitely need to try that. Weekend snack!

 

Appleton’s 30 is the goods

 

As much as I'd love to indulge, I can buy a decent watch for AUD$600 or so.

 

And what Diver watch would that be !

 

Well, if you're lucky, you could snag one of these for about the cost of a litre of Appleton 30YO.

 

Fixed that for you

 

You naughty Mom you!

Being in the military since the age of 16, even thinking of doing coke was enough for 30 days in the brig and a dishonourable discharge, so from that tender age I was pre-conditioned to avoiding drugs (except for cigarettes and alcohol of course!).

 

and as to a "Ginault", I'd rather be seen wearing a blatant Rolex fake than one of them.

But as I would never wear either of them, a good Seiko or Citizen diver would be my choice.

 

Forgot you sit at the back of the plane

 

To the contrary, we usually fly PE rather than putting up with the wankers in business or first.
And while this isn't a diver, I think got it for less than $600.

 

Just loved & enjoyed this thread, keep it going folks!

 

What about this one?

Any experience with the finish and quality?

 

Ball watches seem a little different and interesting too.

I own one, great beater that will tie you over until you get a better brand. Comes with a few straps.

 

Just a quick comment on this -you do know that Rolex doesn’t make a sapphire back- right? And Tudor uses an ETA based “generic” movement- as did Omega for years. And that several of the “lesser brand” companies mentioned here are known for incredible fit & finish.
Not trying to be harsh, but just trying to open your mind up to the idea that Rolex & Omega are not the only upper mid-tier brands making quality watches. If you are looking for people to convince you that a Rolex is the only way to go, there are forums for that. Here there is a more egalitarian view of watches and although it is Omega-centric, all watches are appreciated for their merits (even “cheap” watches that are done well and serve their purpose). Members who are reccomending $500 Seiko’s also own the watches after which you lust- they appreciate them equally for what they offer. We are trying to help you do the same.

 

Just FYI - many Tudors are now using an "in-house" (whatever that means) movement.
