Your watch and your (other) passion/hobby

Ok, so we’ve had your watch and your steering wheel, what you’re drinking, your dog and potentially a few others.

But I can’t recall ever seeing a thread that captures the full variety of other passions/hobbies that I’m sure we have across such a diverse group here on TRF.

I’ll get us started. Here’s my Tudor BB ETA with my other love, 14lbs of baby blue aero carbon sitting on 25in deep dish wheels. The perfect go fast/look fast smokescreen for slow legs and bad knees.

it's not the frame or wheels that's the smokescreen. it's that 8-9cm drop you've got there.

Nice! Were/are you a pro? Looking at your profile pic but it’s very pixelated and can’t make out much.

Supporting a not too good football (soccer) team, it gets very depressing.

My other passion for the last 3 decades is music and providing the low end rumble as well as all the associated gear.

Elite amateur (Div 1 college equivalent). Took it as far as I could then finished school and started a career that didn’t require spandex or suffering in the freezing rain haha.

Best thing about cycling is that it’s a lifetime hobby and you can still look pro with all the right gear

Great bikes btw, always loved the look of that Canyon.

Love to ride my bike, avid golfer, ride my scooter, and work on old sports cars - too many hobbies and not enough time and of course watches.

Can't post any pics as the size exceeds the limits - later (maybe)
