 An early present from my brother.  The fool has a real Panerai on a bracelet that he wears as a daily beater.  He knows about my new-found appreciation for horological works of art.

So he calls me up to tell me that he got me a "special" watch for my birthday -- which isn't for a few months -- and that he's too excited to wait.

I'm thinking that this is going to be pretty sweet -- coming from a guy with a real PAM, a Rolex President, and a string of used-to-haves including a Yachtmaster and a UN.  So I tear open the paper, and there's a pretty hurking presentation box.  I take a pretty nice wood box out and excitedly (but carefully) open the lid...

I was a little less than overwhelmed.  Well, actually maybe I was overwhelmed...just not in the way I thought I'd be.  Don't get me wrong -- it's a pretty nice looking piece.  It's got 3 time zones.  But it's Ricockulously large.  I mean even those giant Invictums bow to this one.  I think it falls into the "if you're not Flavor Flave, don't think about it".  You be the judge. :?

My lame immitation of the infamous Oscar-shot:

My poor puny arm trying to pull off this look.  Sigh...



 

Thanks for sharing my pain.  I hope you found it as entertaining as my bro (he thought it was HILARIOUS) :P
