Ha! Just back from a casual couple of pints in Ponteland.
First time ever anyone has mentioned my watch.
At the bar:
Scrote with a shit pubic 'tash; " Is that real?".
Me , “Is what real?, actually , now you come to mention it …is anything real?”.
Scrote with the shittiest threadbare pubic 'tash and a few whiskers on chin; “How much?”.
Me; “Ten pounds for you to fuck off?.”
Fucking insanity.

Its the whole Rolex = wedge shit that has been amplified over the past few years.
Pont is renowned for footballers and their hangers on, who are likely be-decked in fuck knows what …A.P. , Hublot etc.
Yet an entry level, no date sub gets attention (unwanted) because “Rolex”.
Wank.

He was obviously having a quick pint after a “scouting for business” trip around Darras Hall in his cloned transit?
The upside of an instantly-recognisable watch is that people notice it…
The downside …
Mebbe cash it in for something just as good but less well-known?
I’m actually tempted, but for the emotional attachment to it.
I’m probably being a touch melo-dramatic but I’ll bet he was one of the cunts queuing for a moonswatch.
This investment watch scalping cuntery is a bit much.

Going to look at vintage Heuer’s and maybe a Pelagos or Seamaster from 2000’s.
This is what put me off Rolex back when I was first looking, and it’s only got worse since. It’s just fucking horrible now, and has attracted so many scumbags like flies to a turd.
It’s also got the Chinese faking industry to attain new heights of perfection - the likes of you and I would not be able to spot the key differences in the best fakes now without a tutor - faults are few in number and literally microscopic!

I may be one of the “cunts queing for a moonwatch” as it happens, , but I was actually referring to the scroat at the bar…I’m sure your Transit is on legit plates!
Oh Dear … I think that Seiko has lost the plot somewhat with this new range …
Why do you think they’ve lost the plot? Looks fairly typical Seiko fare to me - i.e. safe to the point of inducing coma…
Because that is not classic Seiko.
Haha and what discount are you expecting Sir?
“my mate big jim here says he’s going for the 5 finger discount, and if you want to argue about it, that’s fine”.
For the average flag waving Canuck…
So much like all their other C63 series but with added novelty.

Question from James O Brien’s show
Why do the roman numerals on a clock or watch use IIII rather than IV for the number 4?

Thanks to this, I read up on the different theories, as to why.
They all sound reasonable.
In the end, all boils down to choice.

Agreed. Never read any one reason that convincingly settles it.
