Jesus. He can afford to go grey but just acquired a yachtmaster 42, sd43 and a rose gold skydweller at ad to begin, now he’s top of the lists in a fast time.

Why is it tasteless? He’s actually well laid back and found the responses like yours to be quite amusing.

Lot of people on here have given some good advice and he’s actually looked at every one he didn’t know. We had a good laugh about the responses in the pub on Saturday.

You take life too seriously 330ci

Your list was not chopped liver, either (and had the GF GMT, too)! I've just been on a big indie kick lately, and moved some of my latest pieces (FPJ, Urwerk, MB&F and Grand Seiko) up market.

I don't understand why more people don't take life more seriously themselves.

As for why its tasteless?
Your coasting off your friends success. Go out there,, build a company,, sell it and build your own 8 watch dream collection.. If your friend has hundreds of thousands of dollars to blow on watches and is clearly more successful in life than you are, why would he take your advice and that of an anonymous online community? That doesn't sound like any smart wealthy person I've ever met. Successful people look up to more successful people. They don't hang around the have nots living out their plebian dreams.

I'm glad you all had a good laugh at the pub, this threads been a real pisser for me as well.

I won’t be going into my companies success or my financial position on here but I own four Rolexes and have a large property portfolio but there’s always a bigger fish in life and he is one, nothing to get jealous about. There’s no coasting off his success, he wants watches, I like watches. Thought it would be a fun topic for people to get involved in and loads of people sent loads of ideas that I or he had never heard of.

You seem quite angry? You ok?
