The 'Other' Stockholm Pictures AKA This Post Got Banned
This post was initially named: "The 'other' Stockholm pictures AKA how much innuendo does it take to get a post banned?"
... apparently the answer is 'Very little' because the algorithm instantly nuked it... so I have had to make it more PG.
Anyway, Stockholm is such a truly beautiful and intriguing city, I thought I would share some more random pictures I took from outside of the Stockholm Time event as a little 'Look Book' for anyone interested.

The little green men on crossings are in love!
And they have massive dead upsidedown trees...
People queue for all sorts here! We really should stop whining about putting in some effort for a Swatch.
I think this one is for clothes.
It goes around the corner and down the block. Would take a good 5 minute walk to reach the end of it!
And this one is for makeup I think?
Again, out the door of the store.
I think queuing for hot products is just one of those things. We watch people need to get over ourselves.
The Swedish don't think highly of their burgers....
....but you can eat out at MyV*gin*.
(Everyone reading this and trying desperately to resist dropping a comment because they like being on WC and really don't wanna get banned...)
They also had some fabulous watch shops. I put on my poshest telephone voice and asked to try on some stuff.
Reverso medium...
The guy says, "This is a men's model", which got me a bit....
But I did try on the small... and fair play, that was nice too...
Not sure I like the alternative face though...
Also found a 36mm IWC, which was also very nice, but the lug to lug felt unnecessarily large.
It weirdly stated it was 6 bar water resistant, which I thought was a bit weird, so I says to the guy "Bruv, 6 bar? Bit weird innit?" (telephone voice had gone by this point) and he says "It's so you can go swimming with it."
Hmmm... not sure about that.
Also... how beautiful is Stockholm!
P.S. Is taking a photo of people queuing about the most British touristy thing you can do?

That's what she ______....🤏🏻🤪
Did you eat out there? 😜
It was too busy. Very popular 🤣
“Opens to the public at 11, even on Sunday”
“The entrance was a little tight, but the inside was capacious.”
“Can accommodate parties of up to twelve”
“A great place to celebrate a birthday!”
“Best clam in town”
“I think I lost my watch in there.”
“Three stars. Would come again.”
Errr no apparently this is the most British thing to do when abroad, and no it’s not a selfie!
The Swedish Tourist Association thanks you and send their love!
I will not go into the naming convention of Swedish restaurants but I can shed some light on the queing. Yes, the first one was clothing. The Swedish brand ”A Day’s March” had a pop up sale where @JockeOk managed to get hold of a moldskin overshirt on Sunday. The 2nd was ”Caia cosmetic”.They opened up their first physical shop, a 3 month pop up (had to ask the wifie about that one)
Thank you for sharing Kaysia.

Double fisting?
Your original post must have been amazing for it to be blocked. Was the cafe a tight fit or is it bigger on the inside?

The light side of the (smaller) JLC is just 👌👌👌also I can’t get over the white date window on those IWCs they just seem… unfinished. Great urban photos too 🌆🏙️
Ah, Sweden. I've wanted to go, ever since reading Stieg Larsson.
Thats the best restaurant name ever.
Did you eat out there? 😜
Oh god😹
Did you eat out there? 😜
They’re like McDonald’s
Oh god😹
Also what she said 🤣
Thank you for the tour!
And kudos for making a long trip for a free small watch event. I’m doing the same on Nov 4th to YVR to LA.
I pray I see as many raunchy restaurants and long photogenic queues as you did 🔥👌👙!
Lovely pictures. You have a beautiful sense of aesthetic.

No that's vintage British,getting too drunk singing football chants for no reason and getting arrested is the new modern norm 🤣😂
This is brilliant, what made your original post so bad that it was banned! 😂 looks like a beautiful city, I was taking by the beauty of Krakow last year, so clean, lovely helpful people and we had the weather so that made it even better. I’ll be returning for sure.
Thank you Ben

Didn’t stay long………..
Smoke Show! I wish I was there with you Yall'
Stockholm has some great store names. After walking round the old town completely frozen 🥶. We came across a massive sign saying PUB 🍻, after asking my wife and mother in law if they wanted to stop for a drink I was told it was a department store 😲. Still a great place to visit looks like you all had a great time.

Ooooooooohhh
The only watch which can match up to the double entendres on this post. 🥲
Awesome post! Throwing you a Shaka of appreciation 🤙! Learned some things, forwarded your post to a few of my WC friends as well. Too funny and yet very interesting.
So.... about those watches . I really the Reverso Medium & the IWC. The thought that came to mind on the Reverso Small aka Ladies models.( Please hold back the angry girl nostril flares - just sayin'. ) just made me think 🤔 "Expected " the look was kind if Expected in dimensions on your wrist. The IWC was a smash BUT the lugs weren't feeling awesome on wrist so .... I say Medium Reverso!
Thanks again for a great post & sharing the pics!
