Your Best Drunken Watch Purchase

[Rashid.bk]

You got to be on another level of wealthy or lacking in sound mind to drunkenly spend thousands on a watch or anything costing thousands for that matter. Guess I'm fortunate(or not rich enough) to never have gotten so drunk to act irresponsible, never saw the point. I love to enjoy a nice wine or scotch with a nice dinner or sweet girly cocktails(as my wife says) by the pool or beach while on vacation.

Honestly, I would find it shameful to even glorify or flaunt such behavior as acceptable. I would think this to be embarrassing showing a lack of judgement.
I know for many employers(particularly government employment), researching your social media account history is part of the job interview, this wouldn't look too good.

I don’t quite follow your logic. If you buy a Rolex it will still be worth what you paid for it tomorrow. What you do with your hard earned dollars should be entirely up to you and you alone. Any employer who thinks it’s acceptable to snoop into your private life and cast judgements is not someone that I’d ever want to work for anyway. My watches have made a lot more than my savings.

It is what it is, it's a common practice when it comes to government employment. I'm not talking about the post office. You are correct that you are free to spend your money on what you want, but it isn't the what, it's the how and why. In this case, "because I was drunk"....just not something I would do.
Others are free to act according to what ever criteria they seem fit to use as sound judgement.

I’ve held down important government roles in my time. In fact I left because of the fixation on judgmental attitudes which I always felt was very childish/playground like. The private sector has been much better to me and I’d never want to switch back.

I am capable of making a decision after a few drinks that I can live with the next day.

Not sure what that's so supposed to mean. If I remember that post it was in reference to needing guidance or not being able to decide for yourself. Not sure how it relates to buying watches drunk. I don't mean to come off judgmental as I have my own demons like everyone else, just this one is easily avoided.
Either way, without going too far down this rabbit hole, I shared my opinion and a simple fact regarding social media awareness. This may or may not be important to anyone or perhaps it doesn't apply if you own your own business or private sector as the poster above, but it does exist.

I feel like we need someone to play the part of ‘Daryl downer’ on my next guys trip. Can you come?

And I was going to tell you about the time when Charlie Sheen and I decided to....

So much judgement here.

Alcohol is a part of life. People buy things inebriated all the time - buying things on amazon while intoxicated is currently ‘trending’. Buying a watch that will only appreciate in value hardly seems irresponsible.

Let’s be nice, positive and enjoy each-others purchases.

I think sometimes people take things too seriously. I don't frequent many forums and avoid social media like the plague. However, this forum happens to be related to a passion I've had for nearly 25 years.

All my watches can tell a story and it is also nice to hear others stories as well. Take it for what it is. Most people think you are mad for wearing something on your wrist that in this day and age is redundant.

With so much s*** going on in this world a little escapism is welcome

If anyone is totally inebriated now and wants to sell a Rolex really cheap, I’m your man

This may make great material for thread I gotta admit.

Love it when you post pictures of this watch hopefully one day

[Case61]

Not drunk, but a couple of glasses of wine at the Breguet boutique in Las Vegas greased the wheels on the purchase of this Marine. A favorite to this day.

I bet you missed it a lot but you have a few nice ones to pass the time. I'd like to ask or maybe you could do a separate thread(with pics) on how it came out. I'm curious as to the results and your opinion of how it looks. Tia...

Two major break throughs (at least one) in chemistry were tied to intoxication and dreams, iirc. These were Kekule's identification of the chemical structure of benzene and Watson's identification of the DNA structure. Kekule dreamed of a snake biting its tale and Watson of a spiral staircase.

I'll try to take some photos and post a write-up; thanks for the request!!!

There are 2 occasions when I don’t drink. First, when I drive and second, when I purchase watches

I'll second these two but will add a third occasion for me.

When I know the wife is definitely in the " mood " so she's expecting some love that evening ....... when I was younger alcohol was a great aphrodisiac but as the years went by it's been the opposite if anything!!

so true!! I used to think “damn, I may have to slam this thing in the door to get it down.” Nowadays I’d rather take a nap. Lol

Based on your user name, I gather you must be sober quite frequently

I still partake in alcohol consumption especially when the Mrs is in the mood for a bottle or two during dinner or on our backyard patio on a nice evening.

I just need to be very careful how much I consume and if anything she's making sure I don't go near my limit or it'll be a " frustrating " evening to say the least?!

On bachelor party in Bahamas at AD in Atlantis got an insaneeee deal offered on SubC while sober. Pregamed that night. I was so drunk, i just up and left the hotel room and caught AD before they closed to pick up the watch. I am trained real well by my wife, because I did call her before hand to get the green light.

Earlier that night, I won like $300 off my friends on a Belmont stakes randomized drawing. My friends always get a good laugh... “Remember the time Brian won $300 and bought a Rolex?”

Last time I was drunk was 1984. I do sip wine and drink beer on a regular basis though. Usually just 1 or 2 glasses of wine a day or maybe 1 or 2 beers instead.

Fun thread OP.. apparently It’s international troll day!

[rtalk]

But seriously you have to laugh sometimes. Life is short. And it’s good to be humble and not believe your stink doesn’t smell.
