    I want a watch made of Inconel.

    I was surprised by how square it looks which makes sense considering all the layers were collapsed into one by the sheer dimensional tour de force. 600k EUR. I think it's not so bad except for all the writing. The biggest sentence is "LIMITED EDITION OF 20". Would own if had 600k EUR to...

    I always wonder if people post these kind of things because their own life is so empty of anything of note happening that finding subgroups to crap on is the best use of their time, or because of an inability to accept the diversity of changing generations and demographics and the post-modern...

    It's an extraordinary watch. The circular version also. That being said I do think the black strap is part of the impression... if you're wearing this kind of thing, an intentional mismatch of leathers and formality levels is par for the course. nsfw

    Noooo (in the sense of: I'm so sorry you read the sequel) Hyperion is great. One might even call it art. Wrapping up the series and explaining the mysteries went down about as well as Alien: Covenant after the masterpiece that was Prometheus. As for the Shrike, I much prefer the version from...

    This watch always surprises me by how good it looks in photos and how weird it looks in real life: DB has perfected the art of making photographable watches. Yet despite their relatively high availability where I am I've never seen one on a wrist.

    I sometimes wonder if the price just reflects local labour costs. I've seen some beautiful work from bespoke workshops in Vietnam or Indonesia (not the eBay ready to wear straps padded with newspaper). Conversely not been impressed with either OEM options or French brand names. The South East...

    Are you seriously baiting me? you know the recherche alone is split in like 10 gutenberg pages... but I will dig, given time, and reply. edit - 16 Gutenberg pages. No trace of Patek. Do you remember which volume of letters? Google is also unhelpful. I would be highly interested in Proust's...

    HERE AND NOW

    I think Adam Driver as "Goldman Sachs VP turned billionaire accidentally" was actually a masterful and more credible villain in the new Star Wars franchise. As a former Marine and still in shape he also had physical credibility that is perhaps missing from some of the other options (cf David...

    What are you reading?

    My favourite passage (possibly because one of my best friend is a Marine): "When trucks drove along the road, we moved onto the sides, as columns of infantry have done since early times. The trucks frequently carried army troops, and we barked and yapped like dogs and kidded them about being...

    This is an exceptional book, both as war experience and just generally speaking. In Paul Fussell's words: In contrast, the American procedure at its best, unashamed of simplicity, is visible in Eugene Sledge's memoir of a boy's experience fighting with "the old breed," the United States...

    HERE AND NOW

    Prometheus was extraordinary. I understand the decisions made in plotting the sequel, but felt (as with those of Hyperion) substantially worse off for having known it.

    Except sometimes they get it, like Naoya Hida, stay within the lines, do an OK job and sell at a 3x premium vs FPV (Foo Perceived Value) due to the lack of competition.

    You need to go to a pub called the Black Eagle... there, a red headed lady that reminds you of your youth will feed you sandwiches and wine, and ask you why you didn't learn to dance, when you've learnt so seriously everything else, and maybe you should go sit on that bench over there and sleep...
