Let’s see them OPPO. I’ve never worn a watch until yesterday. A gift from my wife. My ring is titanium with a carbon fiber center Because... well, you know :]

A Casio and a simple titanium band from eBay (my first ring is inside a turtle...maybe)

I want this watch, but I want AC in my car more.

Also I imagine the Corvette and the 911 talking smack to each.

“Your engine is in the wrong place”

“You know we have to make it around corners, right?”

Nothing out of the ordinary here. Ring is white gold with a textured center and smooth outer edges. The watch is an Eco-Drive that my wife got me. It’s a little thick for my tastes but don’t let her know. I should add that the ring is a replacement. The original is at the bottom of the Clark Fork River.

Carbon fibre titanium ring! My wife is going to hate you. Nice watch but the ring is sweet.

Now with bonus new office setup. Suunto will get all my money for utilitarian timepieces. Worn this ones brother all over the world in many vastly inhospitable countries, and much like my old jalopy land rover, always manages to get me home :)

Full writeup coming up later on how I am now the proud inhabitant of a really nice office.

No watch and no ring for me. I love your watch and ring. I’ve never seen a watch like that before.

I don’t wear a watch, but I too have toys at the office, how about a classic Honda driving through my ring?

We don’t have the budget for “up-desks” so I pilfered several sets of monitor stands and now have a pretty sweet setup.

Oh yeah that’s my old phone for testing/bricking/supposed to root it and give it to my grandfather to replace and old flip phone (bad eyes) and a Nook tablet converted to Nexus 7 status via CyanogenMod, plus toughbooks for my field guys

Nice! My ring is nearly identical, except tungsten carbide.

Looks just like this.

I like how it’s glass on both sides. I have no sense of style so my wife has to work double time on those sort of things lol :] If it was up to me, i’d get a vintage flip top Teenage Mutant
Ninja Turtle watch :]

Actually I think its at the bottom of a slot canyon, though I still insist I took it off before we did it and that the ring demon stole it from the house. The casio is a...um...watch and thats about it. I just needed a metal band, since PU falls right off my wrists in about 10 months and leather/canvas is miserable to own

Hints of wankel, I approve. Now I want a rotory watch, but I have a rotory, so I can afford nothing...

I lost it when I was thrown out of a raft going down some (small) rapids. My wife was too busy being glad that I wasn’t dead to be mad that I lost the ring. That came later. Luckily the jeweler replaced it with a duplicate for cost.

I miss out Panasonic Toughbooks scan tools for our cars. Those are too rad. My desk(s) are just a huge slabs of 1/4 inch stainless steel lol. I am digging your monitor set up. Might have to try this

EL_ULY > lone_liberal 08/14/2015 at 16:56

dang dude I would flip out even if it’s little rapids. Glad the jewler could hook it up like that.

niiiiiiiice! It was between that one and the one I got at the time. They were out of my size tho. Chido sauce homie!

Today it’s a late ‘60s Paul Freres Automatic by Borsheim Jewelers w/stingray band.

I’m not married yet, but here’s a photo of the band. White gold with my late grandmother’s engagement diamond.

Watch is just a stainless steel Fossil. Nothing overly special but I like it.

My favourite part is how thick the glass is.

No watch anymore - I’ll have to get some wrist-jewelry again some day.

Ring, as modeled by the Office Triceratops. The inset ring is my grandfather’s - an old grumpy German mechanic.

Both were wedding presents! When my wife gave me the watch late the night before my wedding I ran around the lodge and woke up all my passed out buddies to show em.

Sneaky Pete > EL_ULY 08/14/2015 at 17:33

It is a nice watch, my first automatic. Only gripe is the glass - it’s soft and scratches easily.

Fossil makes a mean watch! Some are a little pricey but well worth the money.

Thanks I’ll pass it on! Doesn’t really show in the pic but the ring looks like it has a double chamfer but it’s a single chamfer that’s finished half polished and half brushed. I really like it.

No pictures right now because I’m at the gym, but I have the exact same ring. No watch though. I always just use my cell phone for the time

Not my picture, but I’ve used a G-Shock exactly like this one since 1996 or 1997. Yeah, I tend to keep my stuff for a bit longer than most people...

Rotary watch? Why would one want such an unreliable watch? You’d never be anywhere at the right time. ;)

Sn210 > EL_ULY 08/14/2015 at 17:51

Mine is just a simple band, but it’s gold came from my melted down class ring, because my wife and I met in highschool.

Also pictured: my hairy-ass knuckles

For anyone who isn’t marred yet the ring on top is 24k. Don’t get a 24k ring they are way too soft.

Ya it’s destroyed, it used to have a really nice design on the outside, that is basically gone. I love my watch, the colors are awesome and it’s very reliable, I have had it about 8 years and it’s never broken or anything. I do need to get it cleaned though.

zeontestpilot > EL_ULY 08/14/2015 at 19:27

Made from tungsten, because my ‘engagement’ stainless steel ring got scratched up without me trying. So I got the hardest material I could find, in a color that looked cool. The downside, it's pretty heavy, :/.

zeontestpilot > Sn210 08/14/2015 at 19:40

That's s really pretty creative!

zeontestpilot > blacktruck18 08/14/2015 at 19:42

I think that’s why I got a tungsten ring. It can't die easily, :).

blacktruck18 > zeontestpilot 08/14/2015 at 20:02

I probably need to get a tungsten one, my newer one is 14K and I haven’t messed that one as bad, but as you can see it’s pretty rough too.

I’d honestly rather not know how late my car has made me anyways. Amusingly the led display on rx8’s eventually start displaying random gibberish. I had to fix mine, because I couldn’t control the ac, but I thought it was the most fitting failure that car could ever have. A cascade of symbols that looked like a never ending cuss.

zeontestpilot > blacktruck18 08/14/2015 at 21:11

It was pricey and It’s plain, normal, and heavy; but I’m pretty sure it’ll outlast the hand itself, :).

Your ring is probably resin-filled, so just a polishing wheel would shine it up.

Totally unrelated threadjack (sorry). K-Roll tells me you’re getting the Torchbug back, then sending it overseas. When are you receiving it, when are you sending it across the pond, and how flexible is that schedule? I’ve got about four weeks of crazy travels and would like to bring it along. I might even be able to do a personal hand-off to you at the end of it.

EL_ULY > Party-vi 08/16/2015 at 23:01

That’s what i was thinking but then maybe that is would melt or damage it. I’ll see

I’ve emailed the next peeps in Australia to see if the detour is cool. If all seems cool, then you’ll be up next. Either way, email me at uly@liveandletdiecast.com or text me (k-roll has my number)

Careful with these dudimous; a marine buddy of mine was on a comms field operation and jumped out of the back of a MTVR (OshKosh 7-ton truck) and the ring caught on an edge and the adjusted weight plus gravity plus force of jumping down 5ish feet kept the ring, his finger, and the tendon going all the way up his arm attached to the truck while he slumped to the ground.

Duuuuuude, titanium ring! Me and my fiancée also have titanium rings, but without carbon fiber. For us, the hardness and resistance of titanium has a deeper meaning than gold :D

Also, I’m surprised for how many of us have titanium rings.
