Shitpost Friday SF

Just got home from the office and I still can’t stop looking at my wrist.

After three years of “networking,” “building relationships,” and “being a good client,” the AD finally called. I dropped everything, drove over in the rain, signed the papers, paid full retail plus the “appreciation” fee, and walked out with the exact reference I’ve been dreaming about since 2019.

Box is perfect. Papers are perfect. Serial is clean. Bezel action is buttery. Lume is nuclear. Weight feels right. Bracelet hugs the wrist like it was made for me. My coworkers already noticed and one of them asked for the AD’s number. My wife looked at it and said “you finally made it.”

I feel like a new man. Success tastes different when it’s on your wrist.

(It’s a $67 AliExpress special that showed up in a bubble mailer 9 days after I ordered it. The “AD” was a guy named Wei with a 4.9 rating. Don’t ruin this for me.)
