    I'm not sure I've seen a watch dial that would be improved so much by a better font choice for the name.

    Yes, it's certainly easy to be an opinionated loudmouth online...and hating on stuff generally gets more clicks than liking stuff, so it's always best take ranters with a grain of salt. But I don't know about your point about people who had hands on vs the not...I listened/read plenty of people...

    One less mega billionaire in the way of your allocation now...there can't be too many of those, right?

    Maybe you have acidic sweat? Sounds wild to me. I've had cheap straps that don't wear like that.

    Yes the market sucks, but to be fair, they've run this special at least a half dozen times over the last 4 years IIRC. Looking at my eBay history, I bought something in October of 2021 and something in November 2023 under one of these promos.

    I like the grey and gold combo...something that I've been looking for in a watch and I like the overall aesthetic...Probably something I could get from Habring for a bit cheaper and from people I have some admiration for.

    A watch I wouldn't mind owning if I didn't have a strong dislike of two of the three parties involved.

    I got to spend some time with a Tank yesterday…I might be a Tank guy…

    This by Worn & Wound was pretty even... https://wornandwound.com/our-reactions-to-the-bremont-rebrand/ And this by Ablogtowatch was a bit less gentle... https://www.ablogtowatch.com/new-release-bremont-presses-reset-with-redesigned-supermarine-and-new-terra-nova-watches/

    So I went looking for some interesting watch box ideas and came across a guy in Australia named David Innocente who makes watch boxes using similar construction materials and methods as my favorite bass guitar, powder coated sheet metal and wood. A few emails and a payment later, it was time...

    I kind of like them, not $11k like them, but at like $6k... The pricing somewhat makes sense relative to the price of the regular Defy Skyline at $9200. Same movement, 500m more water resistance, a ceramic rotating bezel and an additional strap. Of course the price of the regular Defy Skyline...

    While I certainly understand personal preference, I still find it odd that the snowflake hand is so polarizing.

    This might be my favorite of watches I could reasonably expect to obtain. Still a bit bigger than I'd like for this type of watch, but I could make it work. I've had a soft spot for the previous blue dialed gold hands version for a long time, but this is better.

    Nomos attacked me personally by giving me 31 different LE options knowing that I would only pick up one.

    I like these, but not on the bracelet...one of these would be fun summer dive watch on a Nato. I've often thought about picking one up if I found a good enough deal. Like most Breathings though, I find their pricing a tall ask.
