Told my normie neighbour I’m into watches today
Was chatting to one of my neighbours today - he’s just bought a new car (think it was an Audi q3) was a lovely midnight blue colour…. Anyway I was giving it the whole “well you’ve got to spend your money on what makes you happy” spiel…… segwayed into “I’ve got into watches the last few years”……… He said “do you have a house full of Rolexes?” (I don’t) ….. tragically I did briefly try to explain about Tudor but he just seemed confused and unimpressed……he then said he had a mate who bought a load of fake tag heuers and brought them back after his holiday in Turkey & sold them and that I should do the same…..
Think I’ll just keep my mouth shut next time.
Edit : 2mins later I dropped my motorbike right infront of him. Think that’s probably enough human interaction for this year-the cringe limit has already been reached. 🙋🏼♂️
Slightly obsessed with watches
They just don't understand.😜
Oh my. Yeah, nothing like unloading a bunch of fake watches on unsuspecting rubes…
🙄
I've only ever dropped motorcycles in solitude. Bad for injuries, but good for my pride.

Tried to play it off like I wasn’t dying inside - think I got away with it.
Sounds like you need more WC nerd meetups in your life.
You should have known better than to have interacted with another about watches. It happens though, we all get excited that par chance someone else shares our enthusiasm.
Don't let it happen again or we'll have to re-examine your Watch Card. We appreciate your honesty and see no reason to summon the High Council at this time.

The 1st rule of watch club is 🤐
At least when you get yourself a sack full of dodgy Tags, he'll be sure to let you take some wristshots behind the steering wheel of his new Audi Q3 before listing them on eBay 🙏
Maybe tonight they're telling their spouse, "I guess they've got a ton of like a special secret kind of Rolex? And then they just threw the bike on the ground like they didn't even give a shit! Pretty c 😍 😎 l!

How's the bike? I dropped one doing a u turn on a gravel road, and my shift lever bent. I had to ride all the way home in a pretty short 1st gear. Felt like an ass revving that high the entire time, lol.

Yeah think everything’s fine thanks, tried moving it with my helmet in my hand (taken off to chat) and just lost the balance point and it fell away from me (silly mistake whilst chatting and not paying full attention) my nice new orange German lever took a scuff (I can live with that) but no snaps so think I’ve got away with it - phew - we live and learn hey - it’s been a while, guess we all need checking occasionally to keep us on our toes.
The one time I saw a collection of rolexes in a watchcase, it was arranged from submariner on the left to the watches the AD forced him to buy on the right.
I didn't talk to him about watches.
You inspired me to write a post based on reading this. Sometimes we feel like the only people who are enthusiastic about watches.

Haven't you tried clutchless shifting?
Edit: now I think I would be able to clutchless upshift, but downshift? No, thank you.
We don't have enough human interaction. I used to feel comfortable in crowded places. Not anymore. Thanks government.

It wasn't my clutch lever. It was the one you hit with your foot to select gears. I could only get high enough to shift into N and down, but not all the way up to 2nd.
Majority of interactions. Lol
I prefer dogs to most people.
You can live in your car but I think even a VW minivan has a clock in it. At least he got it in a real color.
