You prefer thick latina women and sometimes lay in bed at night and wonder how you ending up with this strange white woman.

[–] Certain_Category1926@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Don't we all?

[–] robertereyes@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

She has red hair and a phat ass and I remember why 😂

[–] Radioactive_Kumquat@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I can smell you from here

[–] draingangryuga@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

you believe it’s important to "let your inner child out" sometimes

[–] robertereyes@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I do agree with that very much!

[–] jtell898@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I like that your style is not safe. If there were some blind dating show and the concept was picking a partner based on their watch, I would swipe left on this collection. But it's probably one of those situations where you come out behind the curtain and I regret rejecting you...
But also, what the heck am I talking about? There is no such show and we're probably just a couple middle aged dudes and why did I bring dating into this? What's wrong with me? A lot.
Anyways... your watches look different, and I guess that's refreshing.
Also Ketamine...be careful out there folks; shit's powerful.

Such a dating show would have me glued to the TV 😂 and Special K is a fun girl to hang out with!

[–] grneal@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Also, you tried too hard in compiling this to make yourself sound witty and spontaneous.

[–] Sergia_Quaresma@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

This is the welcome to Reddit package

[–] jtell898@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I find it troubling that you saw that post and thought "he's really trying to be witty here..."
I get the thinly veiled insult, I just think it says more about you than some word jumble I composed while fucked up.

[–] scryptbreaker@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

You’re a traditional American guy, probably 30s or right below / above, you like the idea of being self-made and want to give the impression of having enough money to have a respectable appearance, you equate more complicated watches with money, and you buy most of these in person at a retail location.

You like to explore the finer things without actually paying the price to get deep in them, and you aren’t afraid to rock riskier, louder looks.

[–] robertereyes@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

JFC man, are you a professional mentalist??? That's one hell of a cold read.

[–] Alternative-Land-334@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I can not improve upon this insight, so I will rip my art to you and say "Well Played."

[–] CinderellaManX@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

You also collect fragrances

[–] Ilovegoodnugz@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

He collects off brand fragrances with the same essential essences as the real brands at a better value

[–] GFCallsMePapi@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Or gas station fragrances

[–] robertereyes@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

This made me laugh quite a bit... It's all I did in high school lol

[–] TinyBreak2501@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

You are a white male who makes around 40-60K a year and appreciate more budget minded timepieces. You research watches online and read reviews of them before purchasing them. You got the memo to make sure your collection is colorful and not monotone. You’ve been known to get laid on occasion but not because of your watch choices.

[–] robertereyes@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Latino, and (very) low 6 figures; however, the rest is on point! Lol

[–] AllSquirreledUp@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I’m not sure, but it’s refreshing to see a different collection that’s not populated by the same safe/respectable watches. I appreciate the fun, bold choices—even if they’re not the ones I’d make. You clearly like a skeletonized Fossil. I’m especially digging the Bulova Stars & Stripes chronograph and the Timex. Good stuff.

[–] robertereyes@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Thank you! I went through a skeletonized Fossil phase back in the early 21st Century when I was a young Marine and didn't know about quality watches (: I still love the look to this day

[–] PeteyTwoHands@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

That Timex Expedition Field Chronograph is calling me :(

[–] robertereyes@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

It happens to be my favorite daily-wear watch ⌚

[–] Dream-Beneficial@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I like your style. I'd rather see a budget collection of interesting watches of different styles than a collection full of generic looking expensive watches that all look like the exact same watch but with different colored dials and bezels.

To each their own though, that's whats great about collecting, its all subjective.

[–] Certain_Category1926@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Having an aragon means you are on watch Instagram

[–] robertereyes@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago
[–] Happy_Boy_29@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Refreshing collection of fun watches, I hope you enjoy wearing them in good health for many decades to come.

[–] robertereyes@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago
[–] Itsallgood190@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Watch nerd. Got into the hobby through Fossil mostly and still likes it. Decent variety and likes the hobby enough to get a box. Working way up to more expensive pieces over time possibly. Likes color but also sturdy watches for adventure.

[–] robertereyes@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Fairly accurate!

[–] Subject-Opposite-935@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I have that black Timex. I did the decaprio-pointing--while-holding-his-beer meme when I saw it.

I don't wear it enough

[–] barry2bear2@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

A decider between bulova & fossil hahaha. Don’t purge your earned $ into fossil watches. Get sthg that’s Real

[–] robertereyes@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I quite enjoy my Fossil watches. They're over a 15 years old, back when I was young and Fossil was my perceived belief in quality.

I know better now, but I definitely enjoy owning and wearing them to this day 😜

[–] Background_One_4652@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

You appreciate gas station sushi.

[–] japes-sepaj@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

How do you like the Fossils? I know that people there don't like them very much but I find some of their designs really nice.

[–] robertereyes@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I like them quite a bit. They did have cosmetic issues happen over time, like the applied indices on the dial coming off, but I bought them back when Fossil had an 11-yr warranty, so it was covered by them.

The timekeeping has been fantastic; I've had them for about 15 years with no issues.

[–] o2force@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I just got the same Vaer in 36 and I am super satisfied. It delivers everything I was looking for in a tool watch.

[–] robertereyes@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

It's the perfect everyday watch! I love mine.

[–] benghengang@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago
[–] grneal@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Fashion over function and inexpensiveness over horology.

[–] robertereyes@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Partially true

[–] JNBURNSDAGAMER@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)
[–] robertereyes@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Definitely not 😂

[–] Delta2-3@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)
