cornerstone

I really struggled between picking between two colours, and I might as well surrender to the fact I will end up buying both. I'll check out how the first one goes, but like any normal person my first priority in life is solving "imagine it's Koningsdag in the Netherlands, what watch should I wear for scuba?" There's a story that needs shared here Nothing yet. I'm getting worried for the health of my postman.

Outstanding suggestion! I have a brand new order from Heimdallr on the way!

To be clear, when Nanuq says this he's suggesting someone gifts me a watch More seriously, definitely understand this feeling and don't have the answer. Maybe partly ennui, maybe the diminishing returns on adding another watch. Price rises and speculation have changed part of the hobby. Social media too has changed it. That being said, I'm very eager to be inspired by a new watch challenge, and love most the watches with a story or a bit of a mission behind them regardless of whether the watch was rep, gen, franken or microbrand. Maybe we can all trade inspiration?

Wait....was that you at the pub? Alan/Offshore's powerboat tales were something else back in the day, definitely gave me an extra appreciation of them. I think he just missed out being in a fatal collision by fluke from memory, as it goes with people missing plane crashes and so on.

What a wonderful watch. Good to have you here!

The German word "frau-schlägt-dich-noch-eine-orangefarbene-taucheruhr-verdammter-abscheu" seems like it was almost made specifically for this post.

Changing logins from usernames to "what email address did you use to register 15 years ago" was a marvellous early onset dementia test for me as well.

Looking great! I bet the dial catches the sun. Perfect for dazzling sharks 👍

Looking really good!!

The lengths they go to to replicate the authentic Rolex AD purchasing experience are impressive.

I'm right now trying to buy a different dial version of a microbrand watch I already own so....yeah! Hope to see pics of these when they arrive.

That's a nice combo of angular case and bezel, I'm a fan.

You're right of course - and the clue was right there in the Cousteau Diver moniker. Hope the OP gets a result.

Nice choice! It's called a Slevin a lot in posts on the forum.

That's the bit of code with the photo in it, bottom right of the editing window is a box that says 'other media', open that and 'insert image from URL'. Or just choose files from your device and upload.

Things I've learned about RWG over the past 15 years based on my scientific analysis, all of these correlate: - RWG promotes weight gain - RWG isn't great for hair colour - RWG prefers a slightly balder look - Ditto higher blood pressure - Does Miss Understood look a little hotter as time goes on? - Strangely, some of the dumb shit impulse buys from years ago managed to appreciate in value (which is why I'm getting in early on the ground floor of replica Elizabethan cod pieces. Strongly recommend Crazy Trusty Cod Cock-A-Doodle-Doo Mary) When is the party?

If I had a sheriff's badge I would. That user is visiting from Westworld.

Very interesting on the vitamin D front, thanks.

Happy New Year everyone! And already one day of 2021 with zero alien attacks (count them, zero!), so whatever happens any survivors will still have that to look back on with fondness a year from now while browsing for reps.

For the record I love that watch, I was just winding up Nanuq....who is famously delicate. Think of him as the Alaskan Niles out of Frasier, but with a bit more ballet in him. I've never been to Alaska, but it's the vibe I get - all pinky fingers in the air when wrestling bears.* Sinn U1 - got one, yes. 👌 A rep obviously, so I'd probably drown at 2m, but I'd be thinking of a VERY stern email to Trusty in my final moments. Breitling Navtimer for selling the idea of having a slide rule on your watch and that owners might also have the ambition to get laid. Octopussy Seiko Digital Quarz for Blofeld. (1) Get to say Octopussy a lot (2) Very accurate until the battery dies (3) See Breitling Navtimer for sex appeal. Patek Philippe ref 1518 Moonphase - well worth the millions when a sky isn't easily available to you and you're in a hurry. Dress as a lady on weekends watch? I think the theory is good that it would probably over-compensate, something super masculine? I'd nominate the Omega Railmaster XXL for being so gigantic that a shop assistant once helped me out thinking I was visually impaired and it was some kind of disabled watch. 🤦‍♂️ *Remembering that the scripts of Frasier are literally a written compendium of 15,000 come backs. RIP.

The categories seem a bit limiting for day-to-day living though? Just some off the top of my head that seem quite popular: - Diving under an offshore oil rig but you don't want your dive buddy to get the wrong idea, you like him, but you're not dressing to impress him watch - Co-piloting a bomber and you want to calculate fuel consumption and all the electronic equipment has failed, and nobody has a calculator or phone, and you're also the only person since the 1950s that can remember how a slide rule works watch. - Timing how long it takes Blofeld to explain how he's going to kill you and escape watch - Goddamit, this is an emergency, can a single person in this room tell me the current phase of the moon NOW watch - The 'I dress like a lady on weekends' watch (Doxa Sub 300T, obviously)

Early data* suggests an increased proclivity to buy watches. Possibly also bikes. *sample size: 1

Interesting video and channel that! This isn't on the production front, but I was told in a branded Rolex AD I'd have to send my gen away for 3 months for the bracelet to be resized..... 💪

Thanks for your updates, keep safe fellas. Lucky AF down in Australia right now.
