Found a vintage Sea Dweller ad from Ad Patina for the office. Dated 1979

You won't buy it

Took my Henry Archer for a catamaran ride and its first snorkeling adventure this past week in the Caribbean.

Love the story about passing watches from generation to generation. Here's mine. Also not particularly high end, but certainly special to me. My grandfather's watch that he bought back in the 50's. My dad wore it on rare occasions until he passed a few years ago and now it's in my collection.

For the super clone discussion a couple of pages back.

Someone took a one to a Rolex AD and had them adjust the bracelet to see if they could tell. Just handling the watch? Nope.

The last 30 seconds is the key. Wearing a clone does nothing for the guy because it doesn't match the feeling of wearing the real one that you saved up for and have pride in and bought for whatever life milestone. I think that's the big thing for a lot of Rolex owners specifically. Their watch represents a life milestone and has meaning beyond just a high end watch.

Yeah, I feel the same way. I wouldn't wear one. My dad had a couple of the old-school, obviously fake clones when he was stationed in Korea. After he died, his wife was a little surprised I wasn't interested. I wouldn't wear them for the same reason.

Someone posted this on a wishlist for new HQ releases….this would be an insta purchase for a lot of us.

Does "wishlist" mean that some person would like to see this color or does "wishlist" mean that the color leaked and they're about to release it?

Rolex marketing department thanks you for your service

The former, unfortunately

But, maybe Longines catches wind and does it. I mean, they have a brown variant ffs, so this would be much less polarizing than that

i'm in for a couple of those $400-600 super clones. hook a brotha up.

Be careful, sometimes they put peepee in your coke as a joke

Had to visit a chemical plant in Maine this week with the SD43. Tough place to visit in the summer, but somebody has to do it. lol Caught a cool shot near Bar Harbor at sunset.

Ah yes, Bah Habah.

We were there in July a couple years ago and it was great. The kids loved Acadia National Park as well.

Pawk the cah! Hawvad yawd!!!

Shouldn't it be underwater

Sometimes the habibis come through

So which is it?

The Arabic word habibi () literally means "my love" or "my dear" (masculine). While habibi addresses a single male, the plural form habibis is often used casually in English slang to mean "my loves," "dears," or friends, functioning similarly to saying "guys" or "folks" with affection.Core Meanings and Gender FormsHabibi: My love / My dear (used for a male)Habibti: My love / My dear (used for a female)Habibis: Plural form used for a group of people or in casual mixed slangHow the Term is UsedFriends and Family: It is widely used among close friends and family members just like "bro," "dude," or "buddy" in English.Tone Flexibility: Depending on how it is spoken, it can express genuine warmth, hospitality, humor, or even mild, playful frustration.Romantic Use: It can be used as a term of deep romance, but its daily cultural use is much broader than just romantic relationships.

This is for you my dear, today at Mass I prayed and asked for the intercession of St Charbel Mahklouf, the perfume of Lebanon, for your family and the entire country.
