When It's Not Bikes...

6.55

Nice watches! I have a Speedmaster Pro Moon watch, love it. Love the fact I have to wind it every morning.

My priorities:

1. Skateboarding
   
2. Snowboarding
   
3. Cycling
   
4. Travelling
   
5. Getting tattooed (helps having a Tattoo artist GF is handy - free ink!)
   
6. Drinking
   
7. More drinking.
   

You guys an't shit. I use this bad boy.

No, retails at £1500 and I haggled Mappin & Webb at T3 Heathrow down to £1250...

This is the watch:

EDIT: One shit thing about having a nice watch? So damn expensive to fix. Omega insists all repairs get done at their factory in Switzerland. I was pissed up and play fighting with a mate, he rugby tackled me in the street and I went down. The next day I noticed the bezel was gone... £250 and 4 weeks later I get my watch back. Doh.

The omega bezel is hollow and has a thin face plate on the front. It lifts off with a jewellers screwdrivers you can get a new bezel on ebay and glue it on with model glue. I have done it a few times on cheaper watches.

Val Thorens?

Alas I would love a vintage Omega/Rolex but my bank balance could not cope!

love to have these kind of watch, but it's a bit useless if it required you to think in order to find out the time.

+1, easy enough to do.

At first it did take me a few seconds to work out the time. Now however I can read just as quickly as you'd read a traditional clock-face.

Oh, it's 64-bit Quad core, 8GB DDR2 RAM, 4TB of RAID5 SAS... all passively cooled or water cooled, and the only noise will be less than 20db from 2 very large slow spinning fans.

This is sitting on my wrist right now! Nixon limited lovliness!

Other than cycling, I love cooking, reading and gardening. If I could read about cooking whilst cycling to the allotment, I may be the happiest man alive. Or reading about cycling whilst cooking at the allotment. Whilst drinking coffee. Definitely with the coffee, and a camera.
