Quartz and 33 mm? Hard pass. If you have a smaller wrist, look for a nice 14790.

Spent a whole conference call getting these shots lol. I went pretty HAM with lightroom + Google Pixel 3 but I think they turned out ok!

I propose that Ebitdaddy's custom user title should be Man with Two (Engraved) Cocks.

The cockshot is my specialty.

Is it just me, or is this actually a ref 1603. I was under the impression that 1601 had a white gold bezel, and that the 1603 had the engine turned steel bezel:

1977 Rolex Datejust Ref. 1601 In Steel With Linen Dial

Why This Watch Matters This Rolex Datejust is a classic – with a twist. It's fitted with an engine-turned bezel and a linen dial. The Full Story The Rolex Datejust remains a perennial favorite among vintage collectors, and even for non-watch people as well. It's all thanks to its versatile...

Wow. That’s some serious flex right there. Only thing to top it would be to use an ALS Triple Split to time a marathon.

Nice. Sorry you are slow

I know, dude. I know.
I’m gonna crack that 6:00 barrier even if it kills me. And since I’m 52, it very well might kill me.

Haha. Joke’s on you. I could do that through my 20s, for about 5 years. Now, at 45 and busted knees - my daughters laugh when we do lunges together and my knees crack even with no weight on - there is no way I could crack 6:00, even if I were still running. Maybe if I was being chased by an actual lion.

I‘ve always played sports but was never a runner (track, cross-country, etc). But since my CF box has been closed due to Covid, I thought this would be a good opportunity to set some running benchmarks. My endurance is pretty good (I think) but after reviewing the tape, I think I may be able to drop those last 13 seconds with better technique. Probably going to go to my local running shoe store and see if I can hire a coach. But if I hit that 6:00 mark, I’ll move on to something else.

 

[BLAUGRANA]

I guarantee you I'd crack 6:00 if that Patek were the prize.

I didn't know that they let people over 50 use the internet. ?
