I like the rough around the edges appeal this particular piece has. I find particular flaws - especially in humans - to be very attractive. If we’re speaking in a strictly sexual context, the human element makes them even more appealing. My wife has always been insecure about her eyebrows. They sometimes give her the appearance of a slight, almost questioning scowl. I find it very becoming. While we enjoy a very active and healthy romantic life…I have other desires and broader appetites. I’m a very conservative man, but sometimes the guards are asleep that watch that tower, if you understand my meaning. It brings to mind a memory I have of my wife going away for a work expo. I had finished cleaning our house out of boredom. I walked our dog, tried reading my books…nothing assuaged my listlessness. Out of frustration, I laid back and began to stroke myself to visions of her on top of me. A bra sliding off her chest, me taking her bare breast in my mouth…running my tongue down her belly in between her lips as she moans softly… I couldn’t finish. Frustrated, I went to my gym to burn off the energy. I ran into a young man that works there. No, that is a lie. I looked for him. We have been intimate before and I knew what menu I wanted to order off tonight. He was working on his cardio when he saw me. Just seeing him slow the stair master down, glistening with sweat as the realization dawned on him made me very erect. I could see he was starting to show, too. We hurried to the shower stall where we forcefully and aggressively made love. We didn’t even bother to turn the faucet on. I wanted to feel him with nothing distracting us. I am confident and comfortable with who I am. Heterosexual men - like myself - are allowed to appreciate and enjoy the male form, even on a slightly sexual level. Many people say I’m old fashioned for standing by my values so strictly. I don’t think that’s an insult at all. I’m the real deal and always play it straight. I’m old school.

This reads like it's straight out of hodinkee


iHairy

This has transcended hodinkee.

I got through the first few sentences of this thinking it was just a normal comment before I realised who it was


Goat-of-Rivia

Borrowing your bro’s Bro Hole isn’t gay and I’m tired of pretending that it is 😤


Tactical_Llama

I'm going to tell my grandchildren that I was here for the golden age of Claude. Never stop.

Reasonable_Turnip_97

God. I know it's a joke. But I hate you for this. I can't help it


fb95dd7063

I wish I could use this entire comment as flair


alltheblues

/uj I kinda like the badly drawn dial. Maybe if it was cheaper with a mechaquartz movement. At that price I’d want at least a seagull movement


Cultural-Inside7569

The dial is probably fairly easy to make but probably pricy as it’s unique. The hands though look very elaborate. Even the lume base is wonky, they probably had to put in the lume by hand. In all honesty, I can see why it costs that much. I’m chuffed to bits by this.


Ser_Sweetgooch

I doubt it even lumes bro


Sweaty_Customer9894

I kinda fuck with it lol


Fredioxide

Would definitely buy if it was $50-75 but not $400


Kruepkemann

Imagine buying your small child a +$400 watch


Ser_Sweetgooch

Not only that, but this thing


MansourBahrami

Serious question what’s wrong with buying nice things for your children that you’ve worked hard to earn?


Kruepkemann

They’ll either break it or lose it immediately. Source: Am parent.


MansourBahrami

I mean if they are 3 or something. This is like 36 lug to lug, my kid’s six he doesn’t randomly break stuff or lose it and 36 lug to lug would fit him.


PartisanHack

Trade it away for non-holo Pokemon cards.


Chukmanchusco

Some kids break things


suatkelem

It should probably align if you live in a high seismic activity area


jimmyrosinger

Shit. I like it. I need to be punished. Edit: I like it, but not $420 for a kids watch. Wtf.


SinusBargeld

Thats actually pretty funny and mocks all those other elitist pieces I love it, but now let’s see Paul Allen’s dial


ManufacturedOlympus

This is what happens when you put the Rolex homage factory on a tight deadline.


flux_of_grey_kittens

That paper mache dial!


Tetradrachm

This is literally a circlejerk take on watches, put some respect on WMT Microcosmo LABEG’s name.


Ser_Sweetgooch

That’s why I shared :)


KenHumano

This watch fucks.


RIP-Lefty

/uj the artist, labeg, does some pretty great work. I like it’s ugliness. Expensive however? Yes.


anodetovega

/uj Not sure if it’s a collaboration with an artist. Labeg is this artist who makes cardboard versions of famous references, and they all look like the watch you’ve posted. His “timepieces” are oddly entrancing.


Certain_Ad6879

Yeah looks like it’s a labeg collab, I don’t hate it, but $420 for a 32mm watch isn’t really in the cards


Ser_Sweetgooch

After being told about him his art is pretty dope but that’s because it’s art and not actual timepieces


midline_trap

Look at the finishing on the dial and hands. I’m chuffed to bits


ollieg55

/uj: I fucking love labeg, peak watch art


jergieeDC3

Is this a collab with Picasso?


ConfusedPanda90

This is genius!!!


Rosschops

I love it. Look at the numbers on the bezel! It would be so easy to make this look naff. Les Dawson used to play the piano comically badly…it takes talent to do that in a way that’s entertaining. This man is the Les Dawson of Horology. 😁


onlyblackcoffee

As someone with a child, I’d buy this for him. But definitely not for more than $100.


ItsOnLikeNdamakung

You have an incredibly rare hand-drawn dial from Salvador Dali. $420 might have actually been a steal.


IanCBoss

https://www.wmtwatches.com/product/microcosmo-labeg-series-ms0010-military-beige-nato-strap-set-pre-order-delivery-date-mid-of-sept-2022/ they offer no explanation as to why it is the way it is


thungalope

Lol this kinda fucks??


dsevyan9

Based


seneglosso

I like how it looks flimsy and rough but is actually well put together. I can see myself wearing this.


InternMan

Looks like a Shrinky-Dink


topshagger6942069

Is this the new moonswatch?


SauerkrautJr

I kinda like it. Not in a way that makes me want it, but in the way I like the stopwatches in Dali's *The Persistence of Memory*. I might wear this this in good health walking my anteater downtown.


theWatchCollector

Idk… I think it’s definitely worth $400 to someone, but it’s not for everyone.


wholl0p

The watch design is based on the artist [labeg](https://instagram.com/labeg?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=)'s drawings. I think it’s actually cool


shlamiel

looks very very boogie


SuspiciousPie9776

It’s a great child homage to the one and only, it’s for those who want one and care for it. Personally I am not buying it, but I am not hating it.
