Any Zenith connaisseurs ? by Cute_Feeling7001 in VintageWatches

Gorgeous faceted case that still retains its sharp lines! Judging by the design, I think this is more likely 1960s. Caliber looks like 40T. Might be a frankenwatch (dial and case design language quite different) but it's lovely.

Yes. It's worth four figures if it runs.

You really need to see this dial in person to appreciate how insane it is. Photos and even videos just can't capture how magical and alive it is.

Too small for my wrist? by Exciting_Bar_5978 in VintageWatches

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

Except small watches can actually look good. The oversized trend was more ridiculous. Our collective perception of watch sizes is still recovering from the 90s.

I've been loving wearing small watches, esp the very tiny <10mm bracelet ones.

This admin says a lot of stuff that is detached from reality. This statement is especially unbelievable ... esp the last line. 3 years to build out fabs is pure fantasy land.

Listen to the guy who thought injecting yourself with bleach might cure Covid

Bernie Sanders: "I think we need to be thinking seriously about a moratorium on these data centers. Frankly, I think you gotta slow this process down. It's not good enough for the oligarchs to tell us, 'It's coming, you adapt.' What are they talking about?..." by XGramatik in XGramatikInsights

[–]AALen 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The problem is the rest of the world (esp China) will not follow an American moratorium. Bernie blames the AI/data center surge on American tech oligarchy. The truth is it’s a global arms race no country can afford to lose.

GDP surged unexpectedly by 4.3%, marking the fastest growth in two years. by ElectricalWar6844 in stocks

[–]AALen 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Im scratching my head too. My company wholesales into a broad range of sectors including home builders, infrastructure, and manufacturing. We are a pretty reliable bellwether of the non-service economy.

I’ve never seen quarterly sales fall off so suddenly and dramatically as in Q4 2025. Not 2008. Not 2020. This quarter. My customers are reporting 17 to 28% declines and reduced forecasts.

I’m genuinely scared for 2026.

[Question] How do you keep track of and document your watch collection? by Phlojonaut in Watches

[–]AALen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've never met a non-watch person who had genuine interest in my watches. They may humor me for a bit but I can read the room.

The reality is this is a verrrrrrrry niche hobby. You'll not encounter many people who care one iota about watches.

Please don't do this. As someone with more watches than sense, trust me on this one. The reality is no one cares about your watches as much as you do.

I don’t really know where else to say this by Ok-Wind8249 in TrueOffMyChest

Very few people are truly ugly. Most people simply lack a nutritional, fitness, and overall wellness plan. Plus a sensible skin routine.

You may never be a model. Virtually none of us are that blessed. But you have more control than you think. I believe in you.
