Bites: The light and dark side of WatchCrunch - Why Crunchers are the best... and the worst.

Yes! Same token @lla2891 … very bad influence I might add!! 😜… a timegrapher and ETA 2824 and possibly a used Hamilton case !! Lol… and now I want another doggy too!! 😖…

Just kidding love chatting with you… it’s like a twin sister I never wanted 😂🥳😜

Thanks for featuring my review in this weeks Bites 👍

Thanks for promoting the auction (despite the fact that you are currently in the lead in bidding).

Remember I am double matching any final bid to charity. With @Deeperblue in the lead with a trolly 706.90, that means just over $2120.70 to charity (or the equivalent of of a Formex Reef GMT!). Dare I hope we get to Longines Zulu Time GMT ($2700ish) territory?

Bid now! There may be WC swag thrown in if we get over $800!

@IanCognito Congrats, bud! You nailed that photo of Beach Life. Everyone else's attempt was futile.

@Deeperblue I could understand that pain of missing out on a really stunning limited edition timepiece. For me, twas the Lorier Safari. Seeing @Catskinner wear his regularly, just makes me appreciate it from afar. But, it no longer has the strong pull on me like it did before. I guess they call that "learning to move on"... hehehe.

Hehhehe always enjoy talking to you! You are the watch guru! I just looked there is just a few hrs left till the Hamilton case auction ends… 😆

Thank you again for the addition in this amazing post 😀 more photos to come from Canada this week and then off the Casio goes again. I will have some news shortly regards About Vintage collaboration and another very exciting venture I have just heard positive news about this week, OMG ✨ WATCH CRUNCH IS AMAZING! ❤

Woohoo!

Thanks for choosing my beach pic 🎉

And to add fuel to @Deeperblue 's fire 😉

I know!! Hence it’s on the chopping block lol…

Dude! Where’ve you been …ohhh I’m designing a watch based on your profile lol… you interested to see which parts I came up with 😜🤭

Jerome my friend- yes, I’m curious what insane combo of classy shark riding and self inflicted suffering you think encapsulates my spirit. In pictures, it’s something like this:

But , Forgive me, I don’t quite get the premise - you’re collecting actual parts? are you are building a real watch?

I foolishly thought I was a dive watch guy 100%. I also thought I "needed" a black/white Omega SMP and that Titanium was too light.

Thanks to @Fieldwalker and @Mr.Dee.Bater influence I bought a Grand Seiko Shunbun for my big purchase. Pink, Titanium, 3-hander. Thanks a lot guys! 😠🙄😀

Honourable mention goes to @Ichibunz for both supporting to downsize my Seiko collection and simultaneously offering to sell me a new Seiko because he owns ALL of them.

Thank you for the mention @Deeperblue now the hunt is on for the wedding watch, at least that's my excuse 😂

Well i can honestly say no one, been off the crunch for a bit, and others, trying to calm the old watch 'mania' down. Must admit feeling a bit ashamed complaining about our lovely summer 💧🌧 when other parts of the world are burning and all the suffering that's wrought.

Your spot on with the vat thing, and our lot won't do a thing about it (I've written to the powers that be) as they're getting an extra 20% on top of 20%( or 19 in some cases) I thought outside EU they knock their vat off and we add ours (not in our case though). Don't fret about that Aquastar

It's horrible, even worse on a tropic

And I daresed not show you it on a nato style. No you'll not miss out saying no to this one. You can try it on next time we meet, but I guarantee you'll hate it,just like I do😉.

Great Tuesday post, as always.

Solution for your Venezianico Ultra Black conundrum...

Buy the 36mm and auction the 40mm on WatchCrunch for a good cause...

Then you will feel good about the purchase knowing your 40mm is doing good in the world 😉

What if I buy the 36 for you and ship in a package of smoked salmon and tube socks. I will only charge 18%.

I’ve worked 6:30pm to 7am for the last 7 days ! So when not working, I was asleep! 🥵🥱😴

My small department has had some injuries (one of my colleagues is in the ICU! I work in the ICU 😬) and a different colleague had their wedding, so I took on a lot of work. (I reared my head only in the WRUW section )

Starting today: I’ve got a week off!! Whoop whoop 🙌😁. Family vacay to Montreal 🇫🇷

I’m back, baby!

Oh darn it, I thought this one will be a juicy rant followed by heated argument in the comments, but then I was reminded how wholesome and nice this community is. Shame. Now I gotta watch some reality show to scratch the itch...

I post my argumentative stuff elsewhere 😏
