After months of intense negotiations with our noble savage, I finally sent a delegation (on camelback) with gobs of cash to @Swaye's trailer park to pick up this insane timepiece. I took possession of it today. Without further ado....
I Picked up this Tag Heuer Calibre 5 Aquaracer a few weeks ago because I'm an addict and realized I'll probably never be cool enough to get on the list for a Rolex "Hulk" Submariner like Swaye. I simply can't fathom shelling out 20k for a stainless steel sub that retails under 8, so I needed to go another route for my green diver fix.
It's a pretty beefy 43mm, satisfying bezel click(though hard to grip), and the teak dial plays nicely with light. Tag is definitely entry level lux so no in house movement on this guy, but the build of the case and bracelet is quality (if not a little chunky).
At 300m depth rating it out performs a lot of higher priced divers and the lume is loud which I love.
It will be a fun watch to bang around on the river/boating this summer.
Edit Bonus photo of a wrist shot with my nephew after gifting him his first watch (a $7 Goodwill find, might as well be a Rolex to him)

I got in a mini standoff with the manager of an Omega boutique and he basically punked me in real time and didn't want to play the negotiation game.
So you know I had to get it through other channels.
New 2021 Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch. Updated movement is a certified master chronometer and METAS anti-magnetic.
If that wasn't enough, the redesigned bracelet is a homerun, with an aggressive taper, female end links that keep the fit tight (especially for smaller wrists on a 42mm), 5 fitted links that remind me of a jubilee and presidential bracelet. Elegant, light, but strong as fuck, this bracelet is an instant classic.
Also love the increased depth on the sub dials, really looks like moon craters in the dial.
Can't wait to lazily window shop the boutique with this guy on.

Baller. That new bracelet is dynamite. This will be a waiting list watch soon.
Read something about a new Omega Seamaster 300 and thought it was maybe a cheaper version or something as I had no clue if it was a limited run or what, but it looked great with the vintage style and doesn't have the helium valve (which I do not care for). I thought $7k, not bad. Wife Husband laughed at me.

So @BleachedAnusDawg they just added blue dial to the "heritage" Seamaster 300.
It's my life quest to buy one. But Mrs Snow has us about $50K over budget on home improvement projects which is nice.

Your dick grows like three more inches if you buy that watch. Science.

I've sold off most of my expensive watches sans the FP Journes. I am trying hard to be an everyman like you turds, vice the baller I once was. In related news, found out I have 3 illegitimate kids and they all won their court cases for child support.
I have a couple of cool "cheaper" alternatives coming in soon. I will be sure to update the thread when they arrive.

It is smart of you to publicly state that you "sold" the nice watches to keep them away from the Gub'mint when they come calling for those payments, though.
