Continuing my quest to be a crotchety old man at 20...

[collindow]

I have purchased, and received, a pocket watch.

I do believe it to be beautiful, and is of course pictured with something else that is aiding me in my quest, an equally beautiful pipe.

That is a nice watch and pipe .

 

[thomc80]

Thats a great looking watch.

Take it from an real old crotchety man,.....it's all in the attitude my friend, it's all in the attitude. Little kids smell funny and women should have never been given the right to vote.
Nice watch, very nice indeed.... I'm getting ready to list a few of my old Elgins on ebay. (Gotta pay for pipes!) :D

 

[krgulick]

Great looking set.

Nothing at all wrong with a pocket watch. I destroy wrist watches as fast as I can buy then so one in the pocket has been the way to go for me for a long time.

Nice watch old man.

 

[hilojohnny]

Pocket watches....especially those with Roman numerals and naked works....are the hallmark of a Real Man ....... :worship:

 

[teamhavoc28]

nice watch..nothing wrong with appreciating the finer things in life.

I've got an older Illinois Central that I picked up at a pawn shop a few years back. I absolutely LOVE the weight of that watch in my pocket.

 

[mattia76]

That's excellent.

Now all you need is an ascot, a carriage and a "touch of the rheumatism."

 

[unclearthur]

Carriage! Dang I KNEW I was missing something!@

Nice watch!
I, too, was a crotchety old man by my early 20s. I got my first pocket watch at 18 and started smoking a pipe at around 21 (if I remember correctly).
Tommy is absolutely correct about the attitude! My wife is always teasing me about being a crotchety old man before my time.

I would probably lose one if I got one :D. Personally I've been looking for a vintage Omega wristwatch.

 

[bubbadreier]

Love the watch!! I have always loved the idea of a pocket watch, it just isn't practical for me! Congrats on being old at 20

 

[hfdpipe]

nice timepiece,pretty soon you will be able to tell if a storm is heading in just on how your knee feels

 

[flipflopsandshades]

Excellent style!!!!! That watch is fantastic!!!

 

[bowhatchie]

All you need now is a Fedora and a cane!! Great looking watch!

 

[buck67]

Very nice, Collin.

 

[flylot]

Yup, pipe, pocket watch, cane, seersucker suit, braces, fedora, smelling of Pinaud Clubman aftershave, a classic curmudgeon, that would be........... Oh, that's me!
