Is that someone else's job?
Pardon me, but do you have the time?

I've got this.
You can't carry a laundry basket and hold a phone at the same time.

Sherbert is NOT and NEVER WILL BE ice cream.
I saw a lady riding her bike today with her phone secured by the helmet chinstrap. I guess she didn't want to miss anything .... and has never heard of bluetooth.

How many years were you waiting for just the right moment to post that?

It reminds me of this gem.
It's from the 1931 Beaux-Arts Ball. William Van Alen (Center with the pointy hat) is the architect of the Chrysler building. Van Alen and some of his architect (nerd) friends dressed up for the party as their favorite buildings that they designed for this wacky costume party.
Architects+alcohol = a good (and stupid) party.

I had no idea my disdain for architects could become even more all-encompassing.
Then you post this:
Since the dawn of time architects have been awful.

No work today due to meeting with the estate lawyer so I've been spending the day looking at watches. I was very close to pulling the trigger on the Seiko Pepsi SKX009K1 but pulled back. Man this thing is nice:
But then I got to thinking about that Casio I talked about yesterday. I'm trying to decide if I want to save for that one or use the cash I already saved for the blue GShock and get the cheaper Seiko. Speaking of that blue GShock, I think I missed my window. It has not gone back on sale for $250 for weeks. It's used to drop in price every 10 days or so for a little while. I still like it but no way I'm shelling out $600+ for it.
While I'm doing all this a few Citizens have also joined the mix:
However, if I'm sacrificing all the features I'm used to with my quartz watches I think I'd rather go with an automatic and get that cool, sweeping second hand. But who knows, so far my opinion has changed like 4 times just today.
Along with those the various models of the Oriend Bambino look awfully appealing, but I am positive I would scratch the hell out of that dome shaped crystal.

Ok, I held off as long as possible (4 days) and broke down and ordered this tonight:
Amazon product ASIN B003JQLHY0
with this 2 piece "oil light brown" leather strap to go with it:
Amazon product ASIN B076J7QR62
Decided I don't need another Casio right now and certainly not one in the $600 range. This Seiko Pepsi, with the strap, was still less than what I had already saved for that blue Casio that no longer wants to go on sale.
I've been thinking about this exact model for awhile now. I started ranting about it in this thread back in January when Scotch showed his cool, new old stock Pepsi and his black Seiko diver. Hey Scotch, what model is that black diver? I know it's not the SKX007, which is the bargain model black one that is the sister watch to the 009 I just bought.
They arrive on Friday and I'm all excited to play with my new toys now.

Got my Seiko today! And since it was a day late I called and bitched to Amazon and got a free month of Prime. So far I'm very happy with it. It has a nice weight to it and yet is not too big. Tomorrow I have a long bike ride so it will get a good test out in the wild. I read a ton of reviews and pretty much the only negative people talked about was the strap. It seems fine to me but I'm still thinking about getting a NATO or Zulu replacement so I can change its look from time to time.
This thing may well turn me into a watch collector. I already have my eye on this diver now:
