Presenting the Invicta Thanos "Infinity Stones" ....52.5mm of aluminum and quartz goodness

Wow! 52 mm and genuine precious gemstones for the indices! You just get SO MUCH for your money with Invicta.

WTF?

But it's Thanos, the supervillain who gave Iron Man such a hard time. Haters! Trolls! I gots this one, the Aquaman, the Cap'n Merica, the Jason Taylor! JASON TAY-FUCKING-LOR!!!!!!

I can hear the pitch now. Ladies, don't be shy, you too can wear this with your 6.5" wrist. It's not only big, it's big and fugly.

That's fucking magnificent. I think I'll buy two, one to wear and one to keep in the safe.

But it's Invicta - everyone know you need to buy three in case two crap out.

I love documented facts.

It’s... uh, “breath-taking”

Another Aragon ad thread on FB. The fanbois come out to whine about a new 42mm release being small and bragging on their hoard.

Evidently FB thinks I am going to buy from Wing. At least I am not getting Inshita adds.

Hater. Aragons are better than watches costing 5x as much. Why wouldn't you buy 270?

One more, aptly named

Damn, that's an 88% discount, they're giving it away.

Aragon banned me from commenting on their FB posts.

They are still doing that MRSP bullshit, aren't they.



It's one thing for a segment of this hobby to be duped, it's another to pull this kind of nonsense for 14 years. And I'd wager that even at $209, it's 75 percent overpriced.

Did somebody throw up on that watch? Who the hell is going to pay $209 for that?

Gross!!!

Looks like something maintenance would scrape from underneath the bleacher seats in the high school gym.

I'm almost certain that the copywriter of the above fluff piece, really meant to say palate in the first sentence. I'll leave it at that, correcting the rest would require a whole lot of typing. Different words can sound similar but mean something else entirely. Never confuse your neurologist with a urologist, they're working a different game.

I can't even believe I just saw that.

So inspired am I after reading biglove’s screen caps, here is the first song I’ve written in quite some time: “The Ballad of Aragon.” Think of it as a blues honorarium to quite the unique individual. Sort of like a cross between Willie Dixon and Peter Paul and Mary's "Where Have All The Flowers Gone."

The Ballad Of Aragon

Here comes that weird guy again
He ain’t that much to lose
In fact, I think these days he takes the bus
Gotta pay for 35 Parma 2s

Chorus:
270 prized possessions
He thinks that he’s the cock of the walk
Here comes Henry the hoarder
You should hear all his ex co-workers talk

Sixteen M50s, he said he has
Value Payments set the pace
He don’t have a set of wheels
Except for a honking big dive case

Chorus:
270 strange watches
Not one with real-world value it seems
Here comes Henry, addicted
To those Parmas and those Gauges that gleam

He saw the man on his TV
All he talks about is some “Master Wing”
Caprice Pilots and Super Jets
Concept S and Antigravity
Henry had a woman some time ago
She left him when it got to be too much
He said, “Outta here woman, I’m busy”
Now he shows off his Enforcers at lunch

Chorus
270 cheap watches
Henry, can you give it a rest
Here comes Howard the addicted
I think he likes “Divemasters” the best

I heard he’s been kicked from his little flat
He missed too many rent days, it seems
But even though he lives with his mother now
He’s fine, he's got 50 Hercules
He lost his job now because of some wrist thing
Carpal tunnel it seems
He’s fine with the wrist splits and braces
Helps to keep the 65mms up, see?

Chorus:
270 … what the fuck
Holy shit, now he’s ordered some more
Here comes Henry the cheap watch guy
You can’t make value payments at the store

Yeah, 270 huge watches
Henry, can you give it a rest
Here comes Henry the addicted
I think he likes “Divemasters” the best
I know he likes “Divemasters” the best
Cripes, Henry, can you give it a rest
Henry's heading for the coocoo’s nest
Henry, Aragon’s not nearly the best
Henry, no, you haven’t been “blessed”
Henry, you need counseling and rest…
