··Burt Macklin, FBIfor shits and giggles I fed Scarecrow Boat's post into google translate......it did manage to detect that it was in English
So dude is no longer part of the Cali-vernacular? Glad to see Hella is still hanging on- I think it’s only a California thing. For those outside of the left coast- Hella is a contraction of Hell-of-a, as in “we had a hella good time”, but the meaning broadened over time.
When I moved to the east coast for college people had never heard it before.
Hella is pretty common up here in NorCal. The alternative is Hecka but that like sounds hella weird to me. I lived in Maryland and Virginia for a total of 8 years and no one I met had heard hella.
For the record, slang largely goes over my head and trying to speak or even share that gen alpha nonsense feels like my brain cells are jumping ship en masse. Maybe I have joined the geezer club early. After all, I do have that gold colored Casio but in the full stainless case/bracelet option 😅

·I find it interesting that those have been “rebranded” as “geezer” considering they evoke the early 80’s power suit, Gucci loafer Wall Street/ Capitol Hill vibe to me. Pretentious, smug, arrogant and excessive in every way- very far from Geezer.
What I see in my head when I think of one of these watches is 80s stache, long hair, receeding hairline, 5:00 shadow, red tracksuit with white stripes over a wife beater over a gut.
Can't forget the all white tennis shoes

·That would be the Casio, not the Patek. Those guys could afford plugs.
Yep, that's the one I was thinking of!

·I would say I am now a "geezer". As such all my watches are "geezer" watches. I won't burden you with those other brands in my safe Rolex, Nomos, Breitling, Tag, Tudor, Tissot, I'll just show you my "geezer" Omega trio. Speedy, 300M Summer Blue, X33 Skywalker. If ever there was a grouping of "geezer" Omegas, this is it.

As someone approaching geezerhood, I'm 2/3 the way there! Guess I should put off picking up an X33 for as long as possible!

··Burt Macklin, FBII think your table has got it wrong. "Sigma Male" would translate to something like "total stud."

·My 7-year-old has started saying "what the sigma!?" to mean "what the heck."
I am feeling old and worried.

·So does this qualify as a geezer watch, or an OF collectable?

··schizophrenic pizza orderer and watch collectorThis is pretty funny. My son (who's almost 10) has an interest in watches. He saves up for the purchases with his own money. He has a couple of G-shocks, but most recently became interested that same A168 (square + gold geezer Casio). 😄
He's wearing it to school today and super excited.
I've been showing him pics of mechanical Seikos for next time.
Gold watches are in for the gen whatever that are about 20. Have seen 2 gold calculator watches this week.

·Funny as I have seen a heap of these lately on young 20yo returning from Bali with full sleeve tattoos they have just sat 8 hours getting half a litre of black ink pumped into their arms.

A Geezer for me was a casual who wore stone Island, Sergio Tacchini and Stan Smith and football was only 50% of the reason to be on the terraces on a Saturday.
Sid Snot was a proper geezer
