What’s your latest purchase?

I have a bag like that, which has zip-away backpack straps as well as wheels, but it is a bit bigger than carry on size. If any bag is carry on size, then it isn’t going to be too heavy to wear on your back (unless you put bricks in it). I’d prefer to have a wheelie carry on bag with the option of wearing it on your back, to having to try and steer two different suitcases (carry on and checked bag, or carry on and snowboard bag).

God no! There is no way I could carry 7kg’s on my back for any length of time!

It will have my ski boots in it! They may as well be bricks! (I suspect I will be over the 7kg’s! allowed!)

You just sit the carry on bag on top of the checked bag - easy!

I had my old carry on bag and my wheelie gig when i went to japan no dramas in pulling them - one in each hand.

I remember in the olden days (primary school) a kid got a g shock was crapping on about how awesome it is blah blah blah.

While demonstrating the shock proof ness of the watch, he took it off and slapped it against a post. The watch literally exploded !!!!!

Shit it was so funny LOL

So if you need to kill yours Deano, you know how to know smile

The look on that kid’s face must have been priceless!!!

and then if you want to try and put it back together

6 Months after we got back from Thailand my $40 Rolex stopped working downer  apparently would have cost significantly more than the watch was worth to fix.. which tells me it was real and not a fake smirk

Haven’t owned a watch since, still carry around my broken rolex in my bag tho, that isn’t weird is it?? almost 2 1/2 years later…

I have rip curl tide watch that I got for $75 reduced from $225 in 2001. I still love it.

I think I’ve had the battery changed twice in that time, maybe 3 times?

In primary school I was so jealous of two of my friends who had Casio Data Bank watches that they could store people’s phone numbers in! haha
