TSC Watch List

Watch Wars part Deux: Electric Boogaloo: The Revenge: This time its personal.

Well.....they say you get what you ask for.....and only Dave asked for this. So here we go:

Up first, its the Daring, Flaming, Barbering Dave

Quite a lovely watch here.
Seems cheaply made though. And can you really trust the Swiss to be honest with their claims?
Perpetual? Superlative? Officially? Take it easy guys.......this isn't what we expect from the country that supplies bodyguards for the Pope.....

....ok, i'm seeing it now.

So this is a very fine watch and the brand is at the top of the watch heap. You can't get more classically cool than a real Rolex. The dial is crisp, clean and easy to read. I would like to see a bit more of the letters and numbers around the inside of the bezel......I'm guessing its the serial number....or a secret code revealing the hidden location of the ark of the covenant. Either way....it looks Swiss Fantastic. (I typed that with a french accent......)

Next up we have Bougie Dave of the free meal variety.

Hm......I've heard of this brand before but I can't quite put my finger on it........It'll come to me.....maybe if I open up an aluminum can of beer while I ponder the name.....Oh yeah....this is the name of the largest aluminum can manufacturer in the world, Ball Aluminum. Is this watch made out of beer cans?

But seriously.....This Swiss watch doesn't make outrrrrrageous claims like the previous watch.....it just distracts you with claims that can't be verified.
1000 Gauss?? 100M/330FT? N.529? Official Standard? TSWISS?

Um....what? I don't know what any of that means.....is this watch the official watch of Taylor Swiss? Is all the rest of that code for how to find her wedding location?

The watch itself is very nice. Looks great on a Non-flame tested wrist. And the second hand does have a nifty little crown thingy on the end.

All in all....a good start to the Watch Wars: The Sequel.

For today's winner....I select:

Dave. Of the Tucson flavor. The Rolex brand is iconic. And expensive. This win will help him to convince Sharon that the expense was worth it. And really....its all about worshipping our Avocado Queen.
