An other SBDA001 Samurai

[Zoot Allures]

Hi!

Is there anybody there? Sorry to bother you. I've got to confess.


First thing first: I'm not a diver, I'm even water phobic when there's more than a bath tub --I don't even drown my pastis or raki withit--. So what?

Anyway, who the hell would dive with a chest or a Sd.Kfz. 171 aka Panther on his arm? Such a fool has a single ticket to the bottom.

That's the point: I DON'T CARE.

Seriously, when I first saw this Seiko... not love at first sight but something very carnal instead. There are many nice rounded as cushion watches 100m Seiko, Omega Seamasters or Planet Ocean, some Rolex.

That's the second point: they are all the same (please, don't smash in the face...).


But, waow, it's 43x14mm! I'm tall and (very) thin. My wrists are like Jonah Lomu's fingers... drop it, boy, I said.


It's like, you know, with the pretty gal in the neighborhood you don't even dare to look at, thinking this one is not for you... you're not the one, forget it! Stick your head in ashes... And someday, she turns and ask for a light or if you can help her finding her missing cat. Who? Me? Heeer... Yes, m'am!

What ever... you are all thinking: this guy is nuts, nevrotic. Pathetic.

Might be. So what?


Last week I'was browsing in Harold's gallery... the man Yobokies who mods watches somewhere in Hong-Kong.
She looked at me and winked at me. I thought: "Nah, it's not your day, it's just a picture, she'll vanish when you'll get closer to touch her... Pfffit! Sucker!" Harold told me: "Didier, she's real, she's here waiting for you."

So, here she came.

She stripped...

... she got naked.

When we'll have a hug, she'll break me. She's built like a East-German swimmer... argh, dying in her arms!

Red nail varnish...

I kneeled, kissed her feet... wrapped them in rhino zulu...

Make my day, she said.

Uhhh... Nice watch. I'm glad you like it. However, you might want to consider getting out more frequently. ;o)

Indeed, should I try to practice scuba diving and fight back the evil with the evil?


Be sure I had to write a real review, I'll make it right, on the serious side.

If you want me to soften this post for the community's sake, it's not a problem.

No no need. It was funny. Just expect the rest of the members to give you a bit of a friendly ribbing.

No no need. It was funny.

It was the intention, changing a bit the usual mood of short unpacking reviews and spot how boys/men sometimes feel or comprehend their car, motorbikes or anything else you want.

Just expect the rest of the members to give you a bit of a friendly ribbing.

No problem for coming jokes, I'll try not to take it face value (a good way to improve my English). :)

I added a case back picture.

It reminds me a poem by the mexican Octavio Paz called "My Life with the Wave".

[...] Entered in her waters, I was drenched to the socks and in a wink of an eye I found myself up above, at the height of vertigo, mysteriously suspended, to fall like a stone and feel myself gently deposited on the dryness, like a feather.
Nothing is comparable to sleeping in those waters, to wake pounded by a thousand happy light lashes, by a thousand assaults that withdrew laughing.[...]

(translated from spanish by Eliot Weinberger)

Searching a nice thick leather strap, I was browsing Panatime's 22mm page and I saw it. Astonished, like a poultry staring a cigarette butt as we say here in Froggiesland. I was 100% sure she will like it.

I know, python things are mostly worn by pimps or bling show-off persons... neither am I. So what?

By the way, Panatime provided fast answer to pre-sale question and standard rate overseas delivery to EU took 7 days.

Oh my fricking hooolie goolies and flibberty-gibblers. I thought I had seen it all... Why not just tie a pythion around your wrist and ask it the time?

Please mods, make a sticky of this somewhere, I don't know where, certainly not in this subforum, but SOMEWHERE!!! Everybody, from the nooest noob to the oldest and WISest WIS, must see this strap / watch combo.
