Speedy? or Apple watch? 馃榾

I learn't not to read threads like this with a mouthful of coffee.

And I learn't that you can sneeze coffee onto a keyboard.

I'm going for dish cloth

I'm learning about IWC's cal89....

It's called "The Working Man's Patek" for good reason. Simple and clean design, accurate and reliable, and decent finish.

Lesson over - now go buy one.

I also learnt that @ulackfocus needs to work on his subtlety!

I'm as subtle as my aluminum bat. 馃槈 Now scoot on over to eBay you whippersnapper! This old coot wants to see an IWC on your wrist in the WRUW thread before 2015 is over.

I've actually been learning that there's much more arrogance, narcissism, and holier than thou attitudes on wine forums than watch forums. (Yes, even more than on WUS! 馃槻)

I learned 2 things
1 - that the stones used in the movements are just for bling
2 - always wait for the salad spinner to stop spinning before you take the lid off...

Are you talking about jewels on the dial? Jewels in the movement serve a purpose....

I agree. If there's anything worse than a watch snob it's a wine snob.

So where do coffee snobs rate on the ladder, say........ wine snobs on the seventh rung?

You guys clearly haven't experienced barbed wire collectors yet, I tried showing off one of mine once and took some really good photos of my vintage 1868 Michael Kelly Thorny Two-Strand, only to be told that is was pretty much total rubbish compared to high end three strand European wire and that only losers collect 19th century New York wire.

Stuck up wire snobs like that are the reason we had the occupy protests on Wall Street.

I got coffee for people in the office a few months ago, took all their orders nicely and calmly on a piece of paper without any fuss. Walked with mate from office and ordered 6 flat whites and just pushed the buttons on the lids on the way back to reflect what everyone asked for. Never seen so many upset double decaf mocha frappa latte sippers before.
