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 just buy the most expensive shit they can

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.

As for multi-tools I’ve had multiple expensive leatherman models break on me. Only one that is still working great for me is one of their cheaper base models. That is with daily hard use.

My favorite edc knife if a bench made

I used to carry a Benchmade but the damn blades are hard, which is good for holding an edge, but you can't pry with them, they snap in half. But I do EDC a Benchmade.
I carry SOG for work. I can hit the spine of the blade with a hammer on a regular basis, it has no damage done to it and it holds an edge really well too.
Kershaw makes good knives too. Morakniv's are really good for smashing with a hammer. Plus they have some chisel ground knives.
Unless you're buying a cheap knife, all knives are pretty good. You don't have to sharpen your knife a lot, stropping is all you need to do, unless you need to reshape the blade.

These have become my favorite sharpener. I carry one everyday too, no dull cutting utensils for this guy.

My everyday carry

Work everyday carry

@RevStench Damn that SOG is thin as hell

I also like to carry a benchmade for EDC, a Griptillian with a modified sheepsfoot blade

It's sweet, I think it's called the Boot knife.
I can't remember what my Benchmade is, it's just a 3 1/2 inch folder with that sweet assist Benchmade has. Neither of those are liner locks.

@RevStench Nice, yeh the Adamas that i used overseas is a little heavy but it was an auto... after i got back to the states I had removed the safety lock from it (was a pain in the ass to do btw)
