eBay find of the day-Patek Philippe Nautilus 3800 1/AEvery man needs a stainless steel sport watch. Hell, if you only own one watch you may as well go ahead and make it a stainless steel sport watch. And what better than the only stainless steel sport watch made by arguably the greatest watchmaker in the word, Patek Phillippe. This Nautilus up for auction is a reference number 3800, which means the case measures at around 36mm, which is the size of a Rolex datejust. Granted, the current fad is for absurdly oversized watches, a market to which Patek caters to with “jumbo” 40+mm examples of the Nautilus, which will currently set you back around thirty grand minimum. Trust me when I say that this gargantuan watch phase will pass, and people will return to more conservative sizes like the one we have here. The watch up for grabs here, which was discontinued several years ago is being offered at no reserve by a very reputable seller, and with an hour left, the bidding is still under $7,000. This is an absolutely phenomenal deal, and if I had the scratch, I would scoop it up in a heartbeat. Similar examples sell for $12,000 on the open market, and with the rumors that Patek will cease production on the larger sized Nautilus, and the inevitable return to sensibly sized timepieces, the value will only increase. Consider this an investment you can use and enjoy every single day.

Nerd Alert-Check out my rack of letters. I didn’t fiddle with them at all, that’s exactly how they popped up on my board after I played the “ANNOUNCE” bingo. How gangster is that?

“ In the mid 1950s, Vonnegut worked very briefly for Sports Illustrated magazine, where he was assigned to write a piece on a racehorse that had jumped a fence and attempted to run away. After staring at the blank piece of paper on his typewriter all morning, he typed, “The horse jumped over the fucking fence,” and left.
