My roommate and best friend in college was going through a serious break-up. This guy was a level 10 douchebag and she was in that "can’t eat, sleep, or listen to the radio" without crying phase. We decided to go to my house to escape our college town and forgo the sorority party we were meant to attend that night.
We arrived at my house and my mother was there ready with her arsenal of good advice. "Honey, he sounds like a loser that wasn't worth your time." (She was right by the way.) My mother was hell bent we get our butts to that party and show him what he was missing. However, my friend had a massive headache and hadn't eaten a bite in days. My mother disappeared to her bedroom and returned with 2 forms of medicine for my friend, a hug for me, and a wad of cash for us to get costumes for the party. We raced back to Ruston, fashioned some questionably risqué costumes and hit the town.
I noticed after a time, my friend was not quite...herself. If you can imagine "Weekend at Bernies" with a tiny blonde you would be on par. At some point during the party she was almost like a "hot cop" photo prop. I knew how much Franzia we both consumed and so I was perplexed. I dialed Mona. She calmly says, "Oh, Honey, I gave her some valium, did she take both of them at once?" I calmly reply, "Mom, you gave my friend drugs?!?" Her response was epic. "I sure did." (Well played, well played.)
I come out of the bathroom to see that ex-boyfriend has arrived at the party and is hunting down my super relaxed friend. He storms up to her, waiting for some reaction. She of course, couldn't muster any reaction. This made him a bit more angry that she was not playing into his dramatic entrance. I wont share all the details but I will say, Mona was right. My friend went on to find the right guy and we learned to never let a dumb boy ruin our party plans.

The ref. 3940 has just the right amount of vintage and modern elements, which lends itself to easy wear without being link too precious. After all, watches are meant to be worn and enjoyed. link Especially with the unmistakable warm patina on the yellow-gold case, I'm going as far as saying that this could be my Holy Grail watch. I can only dream, but for one lucky person, you can make link it come true in the Shop!
It's also quite soft – about half as hard as Grade 2 titanium – which, combined with the stickiness of the material, contributes significantly to how hard it is to cut. Imagine trying link to get a clean machined edge out link of a piece of raw bread dough, and you'll have some idea of the havoc that machining the link stuff can wreak on cutting tools.
CURIC: The Panerai Luminor Rattrapante, all black, from link 2009 worn by Sylvester Stallone. It's quite a masculine watch. But in terms of timelessness, probably the Rolex Submariner. That's a watch you can link wear in sports, wear it link for business.
The watch is also a perpetual calendar, and it was, in 2000, one of the few watches to feature a high-accuracy astronomical moon-phase indication, which is accurate to one days' error in 122 years (and 44 days, for those who like to keep track of such things). link If you want to get an even better link sense of just how much link is going on here, you can have a look at the actual manual right here.
