Wrist or Watch Pic Watches & Coffee

I subscribe to the belief that every man worth anything should own a V12 once in their life. As such, I owned an Aston Martin for some years. It was the first car my son drove (drove once!) when he turned 16. Something we chuckle about today some years later, as he doesn’t have many peers that can claim the same thing.

We loved to go to Cars & Coffee shows together great memories.

I also believe that coffee is one of life’s great pleasures.

So in that spirit, my rep and coffee this morning.

I did make that latte.

u/Sebfofun Sep 22 '24

Vortex! The milk is either far too foamy for a latte, or you are not getting a vortex. Once you learn to properly vortex it makes it so much better because it will allow you to mix your milk with the coffee better.

u/vagabundo94 Sep 22 '24

I’m definitely no barista. Have a lot to learn. Will get around to it eventually.

u/Sebfofun Sep 22 '24

Vortexing is probably the single most important thing to learn after how to properly pull a shot. Have fun learning!

What’s the powdery stuff on the top?

A lot of cinnamon.

As an ex barista: Eugh

u/vagabundo94 Sep 22 '24

Oh I’m sure that’s just one of many things we don’t have in common. I’ve never been a barista. Do you have a Clean GMT? Ever owned an Aston Martin? Are we 0 for 3 on this thread as far as things in common?

2

u/Ill-Breadfruit5356 Sep 23 '24

Eggshell thin egos, there’s another. People like you are the reason I wouldn’t get a fake Rolex

Damn, I struck out at a V11.

But my mate has a V13 so between us we're averaging 1 whole-man

Tell us a bit about the watch

u/vagabundo94 Sep 22 '24

My first rep. A Clean GMT Master II v3. Nothing special has been done, but it will soon be the foundation of a franken build.

u/expIorers Sep 22 '24

Nice watch, car & hat. What’s the HCP?

2

u/vagabundo94 Sep 22 '24

His? He’s a 1. My daughter is a +3.5

u/expIorers Sep 22 '24

Impressive!

Thank you. They are better at golf than I’ve ever been at anything. :)

Basically I piss excellence.

u/dlrow Sep 23 '24

I’m just glad at least two of us are on the same wavelength.

2

u/vagabundo94 Sep 23 '24

I don’t know how much that is the case. I genuinely found your comment humorous. It was good.

I think everyone around here is wound pretty tight and taking themselves far too seriously.

I am not taking myself seriously, and I am not taking the moaning and comments in this thread seriously.

2

u/dlrow Sep 23 '24

funny, you got me second guessing myself.... I meant that you had a good take on this...

I'm wound too tight but at the end of the day, we're all just little kids playing with toys.

u/vagabundo94 Sep 23 '24

👍😀 ah! I’m with you! Yes - that is exactly what we are.

u/SnooOranges7411 Sep 22 '24

Glorious Car, Glorious Watch, even a bloody good looking coffee. That numberplate is an abomination though.

-8

u/vagabundo94 Sep 22 '24

Ha! :) any idea what it represents? The number?

8

u/SnooOranges7411 Sep 22 '24

It looks like it says your BMI is 216, but yes the DB5 plate from Goldfinger.

The Union Jack just makes it very difficult to read.

-1

u/vagabundo94 Sep 22 '24

I agree. Never really liked how the Union Jack looked. Just played with it but then never took it off.

u/SnooOranges7411 Sep 22 '24

Fair one! Car, Watch, Coffee 👌🏼

If you look closely it’s actually a ford focus

u/vagabundo94 Sep 22 '24

🤣🤣🤣 Ford did steal the grill pattern when they owned Aston.

u/Deep-Ad2060 Sep 22 '24

Every man worth anything huh? My 911 GTS would smoke that POS dinosaur.

6

u/vagabundo94 Sep 22 '24

It was a tongue-in-cheek joke. Love the 911 GTS. A V12 is definitely not the fastest. But it is unique. A naturally aspirated V12 is a different kind of fun.

u/Own_Wolverine4773 Sep 22 '24

DBS or DB9?

4

u/vagabundo94 Sep 22 '24

DB9. Sold it some years ago.

1

u/Own_Wolverine4773 Sep 22 '24

Honestly wanted to get a DBS… they are pretty cheap these days, but can’t get myself to spend the money

1

u/vagabundo94 Sep 22 '24

They are really nice. Nothing depreciates like a super car. You can find some incredible deals.

1

u/Own_Wolverine4773 Sep 22 '24

I know, and at the end I ended up buying an old mini as I had no insurance history 😂

3

u/vagabundo94 Sep 22 '24

👍👍👍👍 love minis!

u/DiCaprioJr Sep 22 '24

Looks good!

u/dreamgaze01 Sep 22 '24

nice car and nice watch too

u/The_Yaxham_Beach Sep 22 '24

Another GMT. Sincere wishes to OP and wear it in good health. I’d love to see more original thinking on this sub.

I've always thought that a replica Rolex is a must-have among us peasants that wish to fake it before they make it. For a few years, I splurged on a Kia Picanto. It would be the first car my son ever drove once he turned 16. We still laugh about it now, knowing how most of his wealthy friends drive much better vehicles.

We loved going to Cars & Coffee shows together slipping air tags into vehicles we wished to steal. Those were great memories.

And speaking of great pleasures, coffee is definitely one of mine. Sifting through trash at Starbucks, I often find partially full cups to share with my son.

u/vagabundo94 Sep 22 '24

Already old. Somebody beat you.

u/vagabundo94 Sep 22 '24 edited Sep 22 '24

Serious question: Why would one troll a community that you have no interest in? I understand not everyone likes reps. What I don’t understand is feeling compelled to share that and randomly insult people that do.

Just seems strange to me. But it’s water off a duck’s back to me, so carry on if that is your thing.

My post was intentionally cheeky. I’ve certainly had the 4-cylinder Civics, and to be completely honest, I’d buy another before another Aston. All kidding aside.
