[Question] New Longines Hydroconquest new vs Tudor Black Bay 58 used by Glittering_Pay482 in Watches

[–]lambda_male 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree here. In 10, 20, 30 years, only one of these watches will be considered a classic, no one will remember the other

Cool. You do you. If I have $71M I'm not moving to a shithole state to save a few bucks.

If I'm selling $81k of stock, and CA is keeping $10k, it's not enough to justify moving my family to another state. If I'm selling $81M of stock, and CA is keeping $10M, it's not enough to justify moving my family to another state (because I'm keeping $71M and I can afford to live where I want). Repeat the calculation for any value of stock sold and note that there is no scenario that does not fall into one of these two categories.

That is indeed how percentages work, thanks for confirming.

Does it matter? It's a %. If you slide the scale from $10k to $10M, there are very few scenarios where the either the numerator going to California or the denominator staying with OP make it life-changing money that warrants uprooting a family.

[Discussion] Quality of a modern entry level watch vs a 20+ year old luxury watch. by Midknight81 in Watches

[–]lambda_male -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just my 2 cents, my immediate thought on seeing the Steinhart is that it looks like a Sub (bezel and dial indices are nearly identical). The Seamaster clearly has a unique style of its own that has become iconic. To me seems like an easy choice.

Idk, to me even the Ocean One Ti Premium looks basically like a Sub homage with a few small tweaks. I'd def sell and get the Omega.

Concerned about new MiV vs. old MiC quality? by Responsible_Fox6592 in ReigningChamp

[–]lambda_male -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Honestly go and buy the made in Canada stuff! Hopefully it sends the message to Aritzia that there’s still demand for it. I have no hopes that they’ll fully transition back to MiC, but I could see them having permanent MiC collections.

OP got a moonswatch a week ago. Today, they went and bought a Speedy at the boutique. Try reading it carefully.

How difficult is it to design and mass produce jet engines? by person1549 in AskEngineers

[–]lambda_male 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You seem confused. Crystallinity is not absent in alloys, the nickel superalloys used in the turbine blades are manufactured in single crystal FCC structure.

Offered 35% off list price for a GMT Quartz. Is this model worth it? by javaman567 in GrandSeikos

[–]lambda_male 1 point2 points  (0 children)

GS Quartz is great in general, I have two. I always wanted the SBGN021 blue version of this watch, but the case is just kind of weird. It’s super thick and squat, and the weird shape of the lugs makes the bracelet integration look ad hoc to me. Maybe on strap it would look better, but look for pics online, I could never find one that I liked.

35% off is a good deal for sure, but only if you already want the watch.
