inspirational! LOL :rolleyes:

New watch from the wife for Christmas.

http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14...572db614fe.jpg

For the curious, it's a Citizen Signature Grand Touring Automatic. My first automatic watch, it's incredibly comfortable... Which is good considering you have to wear it to charge it, if you don't wind it regularly lol.

I broke out my Hammer Stahl to carve up the three year old Serrano I received as a Christmas gift when I was distracted by the bottle of Woodford Reserve Master's Collection on my island. I broke out a Waterford glass and poured myself a two fingers. After that, I realized I needed a cigar and that a client had dropped off a nice flight of Cubans for the holidays, including this tasty Montecristo that I cut with my Xikar exotic woods collection cutter before resting it in a Waterford bowl for this picture.

I never did get around to slicing up the meat, but I did manage to take a pic that required lots of name dropping.

So for Christmas, my GF got me a mini-Viper money clip. For probably 20+ years, I've carried a Coach magnetic folding clip. Wow - what a difference! This thing weighs nothing. It's one of those things that is so light it almost doesn't feel real. And it does a great job of holding my three dollars!

That, combined with a Bellroy card sleeve,

and I'm about as minimalist as I can get.

My latest shaving acquisition,

Let me know your opinion of the Feathers in the EJ. I've tried them in my EJ, but keep going back to Astras. My girlfriend likes the Feathers (she wet shaves her legs & such), but they've just never worked for me.

I started using the Feather blades in my Merkur 34C HD, an aggressive set up, for my skin at least. I find them less aggressive in the EJ. I replace the Feather every week and I shave every other day. I haven't tried Astras yet, and I also want to try Personna blades, I've heard good things about them.

I take it you like wine, right? :bowrofl:

I went to SF a few years back and went to sonoma and napa... Completely fell in love with the art of wine and appreciate it efen more since then :tup:

And barely three weeks later, I return...

Very nice.

Got hooked on automatics. Lust got the best of me.

I can confidently say, however, that I wont be getting anything else, any time soon lol.

That's what we all say...

I can confidently say that an Omega isn't on my list anytime soon. I was able to see some up close and try some on. They just aren't my style. Then again, neither were automatics, at one point...lol

You don't have to stay with swatch group ;)

i said the same thing after i got my IWC now i'm looking at watches again only after a couple months lol

Same here. I promised myself not to get another watch for awhile. Trying to either fix or escape my house. Now I'm about to drop $6k on some random watch I found recently. Silly watches. Damn them for being so awesome!

Every watch guy must own an Omega at some point in their life... I've had my Seamaster for about 7-8 years and it is still the best all around, wear every day watch I've had.

Meh. Never been an omega fan. Just don't like the styling.

This.

I really did want to like them. Just didn't, in the end.

Meh, coming from a PO and AT owner, I don't agree.

Every watch guy must own a dive watch at some point in their life, this is true. In a sea of Rolex, Omega offers a nice alternative. But there are many, many fantastic divers to choose from.

I'm willing to spend less on a car so I can spend more on a watch. :rofl2:

I need at least one inexpensive hobby.

A what? :icon17:

Didn't know there were serious watch enthusiasts here. I feel at home now.
Here are a few we worked on the last few months as well as a few acquisitions.

Love me some Tags! Still want the 1887. Someday. When I'm not too busy playing with my car.

anyone else rock driving gloves here? got mine because my wedding ring and cf steering wheel don't get along

Mmmmm, Panerai.

Nice Hamilton! I was looking at the same one recently. Very classy and equally sporty. :tup:

On my revised shortlist shortlist is a Tudor Blackshield, Raymond Weil Freelancer, and J-LC Meteorite Calendar. Think the RW is going to be the winner in the near term. Gonna save a few more pennies for the Meteorite and find one used in a few years.

oh. and yes. i wear gloves. mostly in the fall, winter and spring. occasionally in the summer if i'm doing some seriously aggressive driving.

Cigars and good whiskey are my down fall. As you can see watches aren't really my game.

I also enjoy good beer. Got the matching set from Brizard & Co. torch, cutter and ashtray in ebony. Now I just need a house where I have smoking room so the garage can be for the Z.

Scotch was my downfall. It tried to kill me.

Though I'd hesitate to call it a 'finer thing', this Craftsman bottle opener kicks a$$. Sears has them on sale for $4.99 (regular $14.99). It might even be worth $14.99. It opens bottles so effortlessly that I'm drinking twice as much as I was.
And it weights about a pound so if anyone at your party gets out of hand, you've got a weapon.

Finally picked up the silver I inherited from my grandparents. My parents gave us the chest for it for our anniversary last Sunday :tup:

My office is within walking distance of an ABC store, so I picked this up last week. I've never had any of them before, and I'm pleased to say that I enjoy them all.

The Tullamore Special Reserve is incredibly smooth. Probably the smoothest 12-year I've had yet.

Whistlepig Rye is fantastic... if you like rye.

Michter's is pretty damn good. A little smokey and very sweet. Probably one of the cheaper "premium" bourbons around.

Ardbeg Corryvreckan... it's an experience to say the least. If you like smoke, peat, and complexity I think you'll like it.

Thanks for the reviews I've been meaning to try the whistlepig but being the only rye drinker I know was trying to find it in a bar first so I didn't get stuck with the bottle if I hated it.

Buddy of mine gave me a noddles of the Ardbeg last year. It goes amazing with really strong cigars like a double maduro. It's my got to know when I'm lighting up a Camacho triple maduro or barrel aged.
