Hey guys,

My acct here is new but I started sporadically frequenting watch forums over 20 years ago. I distinctly remember the term "Yogi" being used to mean "a picture of you wearing your watch, in your car, with the steering wheel visible."

I can't find any mention of that term when searching this site. Am I crazy or making this up? Maybe it was exclusively used at another forum like TimeZone or something?

When it think of Yogi ... this is all that comes to mind

Hmmm. I was on TimeZone for years and here for a long while.

I've never heard that term for steering wheel pics.

Welcome though.

I have heard the term Boo Boo for not being able to hide your newest purchase from your wife when the Fed Ex truck showing up.

Hmmm i too don;t recall the term Yogi and i was online back then. Maybe some slang a small online group waaaay back when used it ???

Last time i heard the term Yogi, Chewbacca's wife was away enjoying time with one.

Man this was really bothering me. I eventually found an entry in UrbanDictionary.com of all places (from 2005)!

So maybe it was a Paneristi thing?

Found one TimeZone post from 2020 that uses the term:

All I can see is Yogi Bear and a pik-a-nik basket waiting to be stolen.

Much has changed in the world since 2005.

I'm guessing a Paneristi thing. They were almost a cult following back at that time. Those guys were into it.

I had a Panerai back then and checked out their site but they were too hardcore for me.

This was a paneristi thing, a user named Yogi started posting pics with the watch and his steering wheel.
I vividly remember. It was an audi a6 and it started around 2003-2004 I believe

East Bay Rider · 21 January 2023, 01:40 PM

Never heard of that but I do remember the "Fremstar point" named after a member here.
That's when you take a picture of your watch and hand pointing at a landmark.
