Better to save my money, though, I have big plans and need every penny for it
God, I'm such a miserly ass
@Deleted User that's nice.
@John O -#7072 you know what they say only people cheaper than joos are WN.
I wanted a nice watch for a decade or so and finally busted my ass enough to justify it.
Another built for life: Alden Indy boots
Those look great. Have you ever had them resoled?
Not yet but you can. Had these resolved about 6 times
Owned em for about 20 years
Redwing 875
Omega makes some pretty fine watches. More modern Rolex watches have some pretty crappy movements for the cost, I've heard of Chinese knockoffs having more reliable movements in them.
@John O - Seiko 5 sport is a very good quality watch for the price, and it's more durable then a good amount of high end watches if you're trying to save money while still getting a good watch
Nice
Black dudes love rolexes. It’s like when they all started buying cadillacs in the 70s and whites switched to Benz. Then blacks started buying Benz and whites switched to Audi.
@nils#8190 Seiko 5s are awesome. You can find some really great ones. Another good watch co is MWC, militarily watch company out of the UK. They make good stuff, not so expensive
@Deleted User It's like the rap stars that drive Rolls Royces. You don't drive a Rolls, you get driven in a Rolls
Money can't buy class
haha well said
They're obsessed with it
It rules their entire culture
They don't buy the most expensive, they buy things that are recognizably expensive to show they have money, which they usually don't. I've worked with minimum wage thugs who can't afford bridge toll wearing those big "designer" belt buckles to hold up fake $300 True Religion jeans. Everything they buy has obnoxious branding
Someone broke into my car, stole my backpack and a jacket I had in the back seat. He left my Iron Rangers sitting there because it didn't have a Nike swoosh and therefore has no value.
Those boots cost more than the jacket and contents of the backpack
haha those belts can be goofy as hell, too. like someone with a bedazzler got ahold of them
Yea they wear those huge ones that are just the brands logo with fake diamonds glued on.
🤦🏻
second those redwing boots
can't go back to wearing any other brand, theyre just not the same
Lufkin stick rulers are the dogs bollocks!
Old school elegance
They are handy tools. And easy enough to use, you can teach kids basic carpentry skills.
@RevStench haha yes. Only the best carpenter autists use these!
Those things are cool. That metal slide in the middle comes in handle.
Slide rules are the last implicit stand of nerd identity
I was given a swiss army knife when I was around 5, used it ever since. I use the plastic toothpick more than anything. Browse here to pick the one with the tool assortment you want, then buy on Amazon.

Swiss Army rocks
Bench made is badass too. They have a policy where u can send them ur knife and then will clean and sharpen it, just have to pay s/h. I have an Adamas auto by them and it is built like a tank. Carried it on me all the time when I was overseas.
