What the hell was I thinking? Now I can't even delete the pics... My whole point's going to be lost, isn't it?
Good one Chris.

Whoa. I can smell the motor oil and recently used Lava Soap from here.

You look great and would intimidate 9/10ths of this forums members in real life. So is demarco going to kill it this year or do I need to dump him from my roster is the real question...jswing wrote:What the hell was I thinking? Now I can't even delete the pics...

Nothing like lava soap. You can actually take a shower with it now (not the same brand though): http://www.amazon.com/Every-Man-Jack-Ci ... B005083YGY
I know it's a cliche, but it really doesn't wear as big as the specs list it. It DOES wear big, don't get me wrong, this is a watch for people who intentionally are seeking a big watch, but I'm an average size/weight guy (5'10/180 lbs) and the lugs didn't overhang. Too big for me personally but not gigantically huge.

Don't bullshit us bro. The pic is from when you took your oath for the Tuna Association of North America, Special Society (T.A.N.A.S.S)

Well, I don't think so, and that certainly wasn't the intention of the post, which is obviously going to be lost in the barrage of jokes, but I really should have known better. At any rate, I don't know that Demarco is going to have the year he had in Dallas last year, simply because we have so many other weapons. He'll have to split carries with Matthews and Sproles, so I wouldn't expect nearly as many yards.nweash wrote:You look great and would intimidate 9/10ths of this forums members in real life.

Re: Seiko Hi-Beat Prospex SBEX001 Limited Edition Review
For the record, I don't work on cars, and I've never used Lava soap. I prefer something with a hint of lilac. I was however, repairing an outdoor light prior to having my wife take the pictures, so that's a little bit manly, no?JBZ wrote:I wasn't referring to the watch.

Nice picture! You could have been an extra on Sons of Anarchy.jswing wrote:OK, I feel the need to post a couple pics to show that the watch really isn't as gigantic as the now famous MM300 shots make it appear to be. Don't get me wrong, it's not small, but it's not (in my opinion) the monstrosity it's being made out to be. The lug to lug is the same as a 44mm Panerai, and the diameter is only slightly bigger than the 300mm Tunas we all know and love. Yes, it's thick, there's no denying that, but as you can see from these pics, I don't wear a suit to work, so the thickness doesn't bother me. My arms are too short to take a selfie, so I had to get my wife to help, so now she thinks I'm even crazier than she thought 5 minutes ago. I know I'll regret posting pics, and I'm sure you guys will have fun bashing me, so have at it, but I felt compelled.
Never mind, I knew it was a mistake... I will now attempt to re-join DWC under a different username..

I've never seen the show, but my guess is that's not a compliment. The entire point was to show the watch on a normal sized wrist from a normal distance, giving a better perspective than the fishbowl shot on a 6" wrist. But in retrospect, I should have dressed better for the photo. Or better yet, never, ever have posted a photo in the first place. But the fact is I'm embarrassed by the wrist shot that's been constantly shown, it really makes the watch look ridiculous.

Re: Seiko Hi-Beat Prospex SBEX001 Limited Edition Review
You are supposed to though. I wear my capris with a smile because I know most guys here, if they put them on they have to roll them up a couple times because they're too long for them even as pantsjswing wrote:I know Jeff, you don't really think I take anything here too seriously, do you?JBZ wrote:Just giving you a hard time.
