Works for work….

This is the content I am here for.

In a middle of a long, drawn-out meeting, there is no better pleasure than glancing down at your Ulysse Nardin watch, actuating the pusher, and watching, simultaneously, a Greek man plowing a Greek woman and a snake performing cunnilingus on a Greek woman. It’s small, private moments like those that get me through the day.

Already looking forward to waking up to a message from @am55, where he schools me about these being Phoenicians.

I was really trying to visualize the typical buyer for this reference. Thank you for answering that question.

Imagine being the highly skilled decorative artist tasked with lovingly crafting the dude's ball sack?

I had never seen that video before. I imagined it would be slow and tender. Have to say, this is much more arousing.

The fifth day there came a hush;
We left our holes
And looked above the wreckage of the earth
To where the white clouds moved in silent lines
Across the untroubled blue.

I was shopping in Miami for a suit not too long ago. The gentleman assisting me was - at most - 23. He had a silver dial APRO chrono on. I was honestly shocked. I asked to see it while he was taking some measurements. Reluctantly, he let me. Fake as all hell, man. I suspect this is the case with a lot of people that are far too young to own **** like that.

I am sure there are fakes. But I am pretty sure this came from an interview with Michael Friedman. They are targeting people in their mid-20s.

Yes, there are very good replicas, difficult to distinguish from the originals and it seems there are a lot of people, mostly young men, as you said, who are eager to own them. They don't care about authenticity and horological values, they just want to wear a status symbol.

So is the fake a status symbol? George Red inspects his tailor’s watch consistent with his Richemont Trash character. TheFoo would never stoop to such level. He would tell his imposter tailor that he can spot a soft Patek case edge from the length of his impressive inseam.

I can’t believe no one has pointed this out yet: this watch FOCHS!

The target market is clearly Florida Man and Russian oligarchs.
