It was only an $800 upgrade [from my $20K first class base ticket].

No way I think it was $5k? It's the slow season in the UAE because of the heat.

Plus we had a dude flex a $250k private jet flight here

My wife and I got to board A1 & A2 on our Southwest flight to Eugene last week....

To be fair, he didn't pay for the flight

Not a root beer, but I got to put my Dr.Pepper to good use on the trip....

More impressive than Quo Vadis. He can buy first class. Getting WN A1 and A2 is still somewhat of a crap shoot even if you are paying into it.

Everyone's in the leather on SWA / Spirit Plus!

LOL, I'll pass that along to my wife when I get home, she see's it as a personal challenge to be the 1st to log in to the flight...

I need a jeweler in the Katy/Houston area to add a link to a new watch and fix a bezel issue on a second one. Any suggestions?

I recently purchased an Omega Professional Moonwatch. It's the first time piece I've purchased and it's how I keep my track times when I'm racing my 1LE.

For a daily watch, I picked up a Longines Military Heritage, which looks great in person.

I am much more a fan of mechanical watches vs automatics.

FYI, automatics are mechanical watches. Do you mean you prefer manually wound watches over automatics? Or were you confusing automatic with quartz?

Pretty sure he means hand winders since both those watches are manuals

The new F1 movie is awesome, and IWC features prominently in the film given their tie in with F1 racing.

They were selling the themed watches outside of the theater and at my hotel in Abu Dhabi (where the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix is held) so I had to pull the trigger.

It's just a standard 33mm pilot watch with laser engraved rubber strap and cool smoked glass display case with the logo of the fictional race team from the movie on the back.

I really liked the color scheme and it was fairly cheap for a luxury watch, especially with the tax savings at the airport so I pulled the trigger.

I think I'll just live vicariously through Quo Vadis.

Someday I hope to be able to walk out of a movie for a $7500 watch instead of my $10 popcorn

Forget the themed popcorn bucket; in Abu Dhabi they do themed luxury watches.

That is 43mm not 33mm to be clear. Otherwise you have the arms of a five year old.

Really like that spec

Saw this today, I'm sure it's for someone, but not for me

PloProf is the ideal watch if you ever need to go SCUBA diving to 3-4000 feet.

I typically stop at 2k feet

20k feet or GTFO pooosies

That looks like something the OceanGate guy would wear. Just in case.

If its an Omega, on this thread the line will form to the left.

Dumb watch to wear outside of its use case.

Remember the ploprof is made to be worn outside the shirtsleeve

Is that Cousteau?

Gianni Agnelli

That was pretty much his thing. He's definitely a style icon, though.

I had no idea he was offered the role of Wolverine in the original X Men and suggested Jackman instead. That's amazing.
