It's cool when someone's life can be summed up so succintly in ten words. I mean I knew nothing of the man before I read the article.

Now he's gone to almost-space. Nice one Michael

I actually thought this was a great story...and love this watch (who wouldn't!). I know people on Hodinkee were fairly negative in the comments section thought.

Stop trying to make "fetch" happen. It's NOT going to happen.

A reference to the movie "Mean Girls" starring Lindsay Lohan. One character is trying to get "fetch" to catch on, seemingly as a newer slang version of "cool," and is instructed as set forth above.

Thanks. I assume a reference to the nickname "Superman". I didn't make it up, but I love it, think its pretty cool.

Its just a nickname, not sure why some folks get so upset and caught up on such petty things.

Better we just enjoy our hobby and open banter.
