    Mrs. Fairway for a long time has done family tree research, reaching out to many people in her family.
    Next week we are giving DNA test to family members, both to find out the results but it is also kind of a prank gift thing.

    It's a prank until it come back with the result - "You are not genetically part of this family, or are genetically 1/2 part of this family"
    It could be like a reverse Maury Povich show

     

     

    Kind of not an issue/possibility out in this part of the country ....   /WV

    I think that is called the Jerry Springer Show.

     

    PS:  I wonder if anyone has ever been on both.

  2. Strong call on Pete Davidson....I've always felt though on these that you must include a pro wrestler, a rapper, and one member of the '85 Bears.

    My 103 only has German days on it.  It's a limited edition of only 500 pieces so I guess they didn't add the english days to it.

    Nice.  Having one just a little different is sweet.  I like your blue face for a change up too.  I was looking at one, and also at Nomos' Ahoi Atlantik (more of my German fetish I guess) if I get another wild hair might go in that direction.

    Like the Sinn 103, I have one.  what I don't like, unless its now been changed, is the bezel is unidirectional and really more just fashion instead of function.

    My 104 goes both ways (just like your mom).

    The 6099 inset/interior bezel is really just another time zone setting and is set up on hour clicks and controlled by that stem on the left..  It also goes both ways (just like your mom).

  5. They have both German and English.  When setting it, it will stay on the one you want skipping the other language.  I keep mine on English. Might change it someday when I feel like marching into Poland.

    Regarding the bezel of the 104 & 103, it is what is called a countdown bezel.  Slide it to when you are supposed to be there and it will tell you how many minutes left.  Note: this doesn't work for wives.  Still add 15 minutes to your planning.

    ff2d13ec5264b2006102a0ff58236fb8.jpgthey all gave us this.

    Yea, he was pretty darn good too at Pitt/Skins, but I just can't throw him in with the props I give Hugh Green or Fralic or the others on my list above.  Even doing that for the other Panthers hurts a bit somewhere inside.  And he may not have had the pro career of the others, but Hugh Green was the best of them all imho. 

  7. I just saw/read where Bill Fralic died.  For those of y'all too young to remember, he was an OL for Pitt and then a great career in the NFL.  He was only 56, and I don't believe it had anything to do with steroids or PEDs or CTE.  I just read cancer so ugh for him and his family.   He was an incredible football player and at Pitt when I was at WVU and just a beast to watch and go up against for our guys.

    PS:  Talking about Pitt football, us old folks who like to hate on them struggle with the admiration for some of the talent that went thru there like:  Dorsett, to Marino, to Fralic to Hugh Green to Larry Fitzgerald.

    my sinn brother...good call on the frankfurt.  love the bracelet on it. 

     

    its no MVMT though

    Yea, the Frankfurt series comes with both a strap and a bracelet and I'll probably keep the bracelet oni it  I think Sinn's Fine Link is much more attractive than their H link.  I guess it depends upon the watch.  i was thinking about going in another direction with either a copper or blue face model , but couldn't stop drooling on this series and think it is a good complement to my 104.......of course unless I add a MVMT .....lol.

    .......... So that presents a good math puzzle: given what we know about Bundy, and that Craig James killed 5 hookers, and that Garvey was only 70 percent Bundy, how many hookers did Steve Garvey kill?

     

    He didn't kill the hookers, just their Padres near the end of his career.

  10. I had not realized this thread was here or at the other site until recently.  I'm not a huge watch freak, but  as a daily watch I wear a Sinn 104.  It is to me just a great watch both mechanically and in style.  I'm German and appreciate the German made (even with Sinn's Swiss movement in it).  I had mentioned to another poster that I was getting the itch for a more formal watch and just recently I pulled the trigger on a new Sinn 6099 which is one of the Frankfurt models.  I like how the 41 mm sits on my wrist and I like with most Sinns that the dial isn't too cluttered so that i can readily see the time.  Below is my new piece, and then a picture of it playing with my 104.  I told my kids it was their Christmas present to me.

    I enjoy looking at y'alls pictures. Hopefully some of you like and wear Sinns I much as I do.

    PS: Here is better picture of the 6099 I had found online without the glare from my phone camera for those looking at it.  Really a pretty piece.

    .....Abortion shit seems to get a lot of conservatives wet, but the I think the ever-increasing overreach of law enforcement into our lives should get more discussion. I would think our self-styled libertarians would agree. 

    I tend to believe sadly that much talk/gnashing of teeth/hyperbole from Washington is simply theatre on issues like abortion or immigration.  I also believe that you are correct on the serious nature of overreach by law enforcement into our lives, and as well would add in debt/pensions/SS (fiscal not monetary policy) as the big issues that should get the discussion over there inside the beltway.
