Will this watch make me a better skier?

Is this Ducroz guy legit? I've heard of Candide Thorvox--that dude is badass.

You'll still suck at skiing, but you'll know exactly when and for how long.

That is the most boring/ugly $600 watch I've ever seen.

This brings up the question: why are so many ski events sponsored by watch companies? Granted, I'm not looking, but I don't see skiers wearing fancy watches all the time. I get rolex sponsoring the world cup, because bourgeois old farts love that shit, but the FWT? Even Cody Townsend was hawking a hideous red, white, and blue puke watch on Instagram during the Olympics. Fucking marketing.

I guess what I'm saying is that you should buy the watch. It'll at least dampen a little bit of arm flailing.

Ducroz has won the Verbier Extreme multiple times.

I'd have Ducroz sign the bands. Nutmeg would probably fork over 1K for it.

Is he better than Candide?

**JayPowHound** · 03-21-2018, 07:42 PM

Candide is sponsored by Audi. Over in Euroland pro freeskiing is a whole different buisness..

Audi VS Alpina. You tell me who's better.

This ^^ Euros' buy watches, 'Mericans buy $700 sneakers.

You need a handbuilt Swiss watch Timberridge. You are the kind of East Coaster that deserves a hand built piece of swiss craftsmanship with your own personal "complication". It's the "time to tediously troll movement". Every 15 minutes it'll tell you to insert a stale meme here. Thank you, and GFYS. Your threads end up upside down more than Pio's Pilot, Benny's Bitterness, ad nauseum

Do you even own a watch?

**digitaldeath** · 03-21-2018, 07:58 PM

Don’t ever ski watch

**mcski** · 03-21-2018, 08:09 PM

I like to watch

**TAFKALVS** · 03-21-2018, 08:11 PM

I would trade my BillyGoats for a nice watch

**cmcrawfo** · 03-21-2018, 08:12 PM

The "after ski" in the alpina lounge would be worth every penny.

I can't seem to add it to my cart? Maybe the app knows I am broke... paging bobby stainless to the charity phone.
