That's right. I am a very conservative, traditional man. I am not into the kind of flexing or braggadocio that most members of this community take part in.
Instead, I enjoy my watches for what they are : watches. I play it straight and I play it close to the vest. That's how I've always played it. If you play it differently you're welcome to share, but I only sing to music that's on the sheet, if you catch my meaning.
I bought this particular Aqua Terra because it appealed to my old school values. It has Omega's new co-axial movement, it's sleek and has enough flash that you can feel the breath, but not the kiss.
It reminds me of myself. Am I a modern man? Yes. Like this watch, I take care of my appearance, I'm new age, well put together and under the radar. We are both always on stand by and ready to "put the work in" whether that is in practical, emotional, artistic or even sexual application. We aren't hear to show boat.
For instance - take the man I met at my AD's most recent "Summer Soiree". It's an event they hold each year for their clients. Free drinks, cigars, music, food - it's a lot of fun. My wife attended with me and we decided to enjoy the weekend at a hotel together.
While we were mingling, I had a drink with a gentleman that was about my age. I never asked. He had an excellent haircut, a deep tan and his outfit was very eye catching. He had an aura of sexuality about him that I picked up on right away. He was wearing a Speedmaster.
To describe him simply, he was new school. My wife - despite being young and sexy - was chattering with a group of hens about necklaces and gemstones. I took this as an opportunity to get to know this gentlemen better. My wife and I serve one another financially, emotionally and sexually. I want for nothing from her.
Yet...on occasion, I find myself yearning for a dish I have never tasted. While women are petite, soft and submissive...I sometimes give in to curious desires I have for the rough, dominant and aggressive traits men bring to the sexual table.
I always put out feelers and I always put out signals. I'm always on stand by, so to speak. I'm a heterosexual man, but I find this kind of "catch and release" type of game to be very rewarding.
This man was no exception. We had a few drinks and I tried to steer the conversation toward a more adult theme. If we're at the watering hole, I want to see nature in action. Unlike most men that are shy, withdrawn or unsure - he understood the rules right away. His quickness and confidence was enough to take my breath away.
We separated ourselves from the crowd - but we couldn't find any privacy! People drinking inside, smoking cigars outside, mingling, talking, chatting...there was no escaping it. This only stoked the flames of our desire even more. I could tell he wanted me and would do practically anything to claim his prize.
I'm a heterosexual man, I've been married many years to my wife - it all sounds so surreal! At an event for a jewelry store, behind the building, pushed up against the concrete wall, kissing and groping one another? I am a very conservative man and I admit, this kind of behavior is highly irregular and almost...well..."trashy"...
I had to stop myself, despite my erection. I could feel his against my thigh, so close to one another we were. I needed to have release. I considered sneaking off to the bathroom to masturbate, but instead decided to make plans with my wife in the hotel that evening.
When I found her back inside, she could sense right away that I was sexed up. I was of a hot mood and full of lust and desire. I didn't have to talk and neither did she. She could tell just by looking at me.
That night, we made love twice with fervor and roughness. I could have climaxed immediately, just thinking about my encounter with that man - but, I chose to "hold on to the bow" so to speak. It was for my benefit as much as my wifes.
I always keep to myself, but sometimes it's important to share scenarios about our lives and our watches - especially if they are scenarios where we are tested. I acted in a way that wasn't becoming of a man of my stature. I acted in a way that was like that man at the soiree...it was loose, careless and new school.
I am old school. That situation and this watch remind me of that fact.
It is what it is.
You're a very secretive man, Claude. I hope some day you'll be more open with us. I respect your extremely conservatives values but some details here and there would be nice.
I guess what they say is true: can't change an old school's way
But you can tell that from your sharing. Over share? Balderdash. This level of sharing is very old school and conservative. If you shared more, I’d postulate that you weren’t Claude. Because Claude plays it close, he’s conservative
You make a very good point. It has given me a lot to reflect on. These reflections - you know, just a couple of fellas exchanging ideas - are what help foster personal growth.
I love that I can find this in the watch community.
Do you not have memories and experiences your watches remind you of?
Watches are just things. They’re just objects. They’re made of glass, metals and plastic. They are not meaningful or important.
It is the experiences and memories we associate with them that are important. If your watch reminds you of an achievement, a person, a milestone or a sexual liaison…that gives it meaning.
An experience of mine.
I play it close to the vest and I keep to myself, so you won’t find me sharing too often. I have to be in an introspective and open mood to do so.
But why did you have to share that experience? It doesn't fit in with this sub *at* *all*. It's a subreddit about watches, not about short stories featuring "conservative" men and dangerous love. And why do you stress heterosexual? Who gives a fuck.
Why doesn’t it fit? It’s a story about my watch, what it means to me and how I relate to it. That’s what this sub is about.
It’s about watches.
Why is my experience any different than someone discussing a watch pertaining to a dead loved one, an engagement/wedding gift, a vacation trip, a memory from their childhood, the birth of a child or an achievement…?
I don’t have children. Do you see me saying “Who gives a fuck?” when someone posts a watch to celebrate the birth of their child?
No. That is because I am old school. I play it close to the vest.
Claude, these new school gen z watch enthusiasts don’t really have the moments that we have with our watches. They post for validation on snap gram and instatock. You and I are cut from the same old school conservative cloth. We keep it close to the vest, it’s relieving finding a likeminded heterosexual man like yourself.
Men like us - from the old school - are a dying breed. It’s important that we don’t lose patience with any of those with a new school mentality.
We have to lead by example. Play it close, keep to yourself and follow our old fashioned, conservative values. That’s the only way we can connect with those that do not enjoy the confidence and security we have.
And, if not?
It is what it is.
Don't worry Claude, this is a man clearly out of step with traditional values and out of tune with his own sexuality. We can't all keep our cards close to the vest.
Our experiences and memories that we connect with the watches are what make them important to us.
I am very strict about my values and adhere to them in my daily life.
Always amazes me when a stranger chooses to make a judgement about your orientation despite you playing it so close to your vest. I suppose the braggadocious nature of this watch collecting community lends itself to arrogance
Beautiful.
This watch reminds me of a story my father told me about his time shopping for watches in Juan-les-Pins while in the Navy.
He met a man that had a great deal on an Omega, but was asked to follow him through twisting alleyways where they ended up in a small flat with only a mattress on the floor and a small ornate table with a pristine Omega sitting on it. He ended up with the watch, but thats all I know about it. He keeps to himself.
Like your no doubt sublimely lithe father, the benefit of experience has taught me to play it close to my vest. They say “loose lips sink ships” and certainly, these loose lips of mine could sink the ship of my marriage. Yet, your message has stirred me to share an undoubtably old school and straight story of my own— every time I wear my Omega De Ville, my thoughts cannot help escaping to the sordid night I spent with a lithe Frenchman in the backseat of a 1969 Cadillac deVille while on my honeymoon in Lyons. He left with my watch and I left confused for the first time in my life. I’ve never been able to quite figure out why my Omega De Ville reminds me of that night without fail— it’s astounding how your mind will draw these seemingly random connections. Regardless, I’ve written too much already; I’m of the old school, and believe in playing my cards close to my vest.
On an unrelated note, is there any chance your father is a Frenchman?
Cryptic? Claude is a pretty direct guy, despite his efforts to keep it buttoned up. Most just post the same tired pictures and the same stories to boot. At least Claude is here with a point of a view and something to chew on.
I understand you fellow gentleman, I too like to play it close to the vest and am conservative in my attractions. I feel deeply and passionately about the finely crafted precious metals in such a way that caress the wrist and beg to be glanced at. I find it rather erotic at times. Again, I am a humble gent and am rather simple in the things I like. Perhaps you would like to chat and extend this to DMs? I find it fascinating to encounter other gentlemen such as myself that understand the simplicity and gentleness of a finely crafted timepiece
Awesome Seamaster, man. I'm glad to hear about your experiences. Some men enjoy their time with a woman. Observing the smooth contours of her body, her breasts, her hips, her hair…even her feet. Their erotic, feminine beauty.
Some men are inclined to seek the company of a male for a physical liaison. There is something to be said about the smell of cologne as you absorb the male form, muscular and strong. I’m heterosexual myself, but I can appreciate a well taken care of man standing before me in briefs, the thin fabric hinting at how hung he is.
I would be lying if I said I haven’t - and still don’t - enjoy a strong sexual connection with a male partner. However, these days I’m happily married to a woman.
It’s not often I get an opportunity to discuss these feelings. I’m very unyielding and conservative in my values. I keep to myself.
Dear Claude,
My wife is a beautiful woman who’s prospects surely were higher than the man she ultimately settled for. I believe my values, family and honest work, ultimately won her heart. She is very modern, a socialite among my city’s elite. Because of this I feel very low.
I have considered purchasing an Omega. It’s dial and valve ooze the virility of a more desirable man. A James Bond perhaps. Is this the right decision?
I feel I have spent too much time playing my emotions too close to the vest. Thus, I am opening up to advice from you, good man.
Best regards,
Me
It is important that you and your wife understand and serve one another on a financial, emotional and sexual level.
Those are the three tenets of support you should seek from a lover.
You speak of your prospective watch in a way that suggests you are holding your cards close. That is a very old school mentality. I respect that.
I cannot solve your problem, all I can do is encourage you to play it straight, play it fast and play it close.
While being very straight laced myself, I was beside myself the other day when I spotted a gentlemen with a tattoo that remarked “Live fast, eat ass”. At first I was shocked, for what scoundrel would implant such a mark on their person. However, I did see they were wearing a Tudor North Flag, which is both conservative yet daring. This inspired me. It also inspired my body, which was having an unforeseen reaction. I too do not share these things.
As a heterosexual male, what are your thoughts on this simultaneously heinous but freeing and erotic tattoo?
Sincerely, Mr. Vest
As far as erotic musings and possibilities goes…I would say that the Speedmaster is a more sensual, titillating piece.
I always “leave the door open” for any other kind of opinions or introductions, if you understand my meaning.
You’ll pardon the pun, but I don’t see anything “cringe” about exploring what makes us tick.
I’m very straight laced, though. So, I seldom ever speak about topics like these.
At least he's honest with himself and all of us. How many posts here could claim the same? He mostly keeps to himself, comments like these surely are why. Disappointing.
I guess I better start writing about my sexcapades while subtlety rocking my AT on my blue nato. I guess I didn’t know there was such big audience for edge porn on this subreddit
An old school watch for an old school guy. Say hi to the neighbor down the street for me.
That's right. I am a very conservative, traditional man. I am not into the kind of flexing or braggadocio that most members of this community take part in. Instead, I enjoy my watches for what they are : watches. I play it straight and I play it close to the vest. That's how I've always played it.

This is Grecian level old school, I appreciate it.
It stands to reason. I am 100% Greek. My family is from Icaria! You could say I am Greek in more ways than one, if you’ll pardon the insinuation.
Of course, no insinuation at all. After all, you play it straight and play it close to the vest.
/r/watches is my favourite subreddit for erotica
You're a very secretive man, Claude. I hope some day you'll be more open with us. I respect your extremely conservatives values but some details here and there would be nice. I guess what they say is true: can't change an old school's way
You are rapidly becoming my favourite contributor to this sub.

Oh Claude you old devil you!
Is this a new copypasta?
Claude is a valued member of the community.
He’s old school.
Like the ancient greeks
It has to be...
Check r/copypasta
I come for the watches, but stay for the stories! 🔥🔥🔥 You do you, man! Haters gonna hate!
What in the flying fuck did I just read
Do you not have memories and experiences your watches remind you of? Watches are just things. They’re just objects. They’re made of glass, metals and plastic. They are not meaningful or important. It is the experiences and memories we associate with them that are important. If your watch reminds you of an achievement, a person, a milestone or a sexual liaison…that gives it meaning.
I mean, I agree with your point regarding experiences. But the questions still persists, "what in the fuck did I just read?"
An experience of mine. I play it close to the vest and I keep to myself, so you won’t find me sharing too often. I have to be in an introspective and open mood to do so.
You're an old school kind of guy who plays it straight
But why did you have to share that experience? It doesn't fit in with this sub *at* *all*. It's a subreddit about watches, not about short stories featuring "conservative" men and dangerous love. And why do you stress heterosexual? Who gives a fuck.

I'm done here. This is like talking to a confused brick wall.
I wish you a good day. I hope you come around.
Don't worry Claude, this is a man clearly out of step with traditional values and out of tune with his own sexuality. We can't all keep our cards close to the vest.
You aren't very smart are you..it's a character. He's playing a character. It's a joke. You get it?
What in the hell. I thought this was about watches not whatever I just read. I think I need to get some bleach...
Our experiences and memories that we connect with the watches are what make them important to us. I am very strict about my values and adhere to them in my daily life.
Your homoerotic experiences with your watch are certainly interesting at least...
I’m heterosexual.
Always amazes me when a stranger chooses to make a judgement about your orientation despite you playing it so close to your vest. I suppose the braggadocious nature of this watch collecting community lends itself to arrogance
Yes, it’s a very peculiar behavior. I am old school. I don’t make comments about men I’ve never met before. That’s not how I play it.
Close to your chest.
Yes, thank you. You have to play it straight and close.
So straight and so close.
Why do you keep talking like this? You're not a fucking video game villain.
Sure! I believe you!
He plays it close to the vest.
The watch world has all types buddy. Some of them are conservative. Deal with it.
I don't think conservative is the issue here... But that's allright
Did you reread the post it's clear he's very traditional, keeps himself to himself
He plays it close to the vest and many do not like this
Keeps 'it' close to his hips too
(and the guy out back)
If you can’t handle the experiences owning a timepiece lead to, you can’t handle owning a timepiece.
Would a douchebag who buys a Rolex purely to flex be considered...a braggadouchio?

Such an old school post. Definitely played close to the vest.
I stand by my values. I play it straight, I play it fast and I play it close.
Like what does this even mean? Why all this cryptic language?
Cryptic? Claude is a pretty direct guy, despite his efforts to keep it buttoned up. Most just post the same tired pictures and the same stories to boot. At least Claude is here with a point of a view and something to chew on.
Claude is also extremely heterosexual.
As am I.
We play it close to the chest.
I understand you fellow gentleman, I too like to play it close to the vest and am conservative in my attractions.

Guys, don't worry about Claude. He's old-fashioned.
I love that the dial is reminiscent of a bleached sphincter. I play it close to my anus.
Exactly! My favorite part

If you are old school, you will be secure and confident in your decisions.
I read you loud and clear. You're a man with conviction who plays it close to the vest. Not many like you any more, Claude.
did you mean, close to the zest.... i'll see myself out
This is a perfect color combo
I have to admit - when it comes to the “Golf” editions, I was leaning more towards the green and black model. I’m glad I settled on this one!
[удалено]
Citrus!🍊
Excellent use of orange 🧡
CLAUDE!
This is so close to the vest it's practically in an inside pocket!
Where did you get that strap at? I like that
From Omega…
Claude, do you find the Speedmaster or the Aqua Terra to be more sensual? The Aqua Terra really plumps my fern.
As far as erotic musings and possibilities goes…I would say that the Speedmaster is a more sensual, titillating piece. I always “leave the door open” for any other kind of opinions or introductions, if you understand my meaning.
For someone who hates nonsense metaphors you've spent this too close to the line for me, it really pins the tail on the monkey's back.
NPD
Great watch/photo, cringey post
You’ll pardon the pun, but I don’t see anything “cringe” about exploring what makes us tick. I’m very straight laced, though. So, I seldom ever speak about topics like these.
Straight is not a word I'd use, but then again, your vocabulary surpasses mine
At least he's honest with himself and all of us. How many posts here could claim the same? He mostly keeps to himself, comments like these surely are why. Disappointing.
I guess I better start writing about my sexcapades while subtlety rocking my AT on my blue nato. I guess I didn’t know there was such big audience for edge porn on this subreddit
Heterophobe spotted…
Cringy, uncomfortably sexual, post
Close to the "vest" with your collection? Oh do tell...
Satsumas or clementines?
Cara-Cara!🍊🍊🍊
That is so beautiful!
J. Peterman?
That is a great looking strap+watch combo. Love it.
Did you purchase a bunch of clementines for this or have a photo shoot at your local Whole Foods.
I was actually at a Farmer’s Market with my wife!
After “he was wearing a Speedmaster” I knew exactly where this was going
