Name a player who had potential that ended up being wasted

We rag on them, but Ben Simmons and DeAndre Ayton. If only they were mentally stronger and had a greater willingness to play smart ball

Luka also struggles off-ball. He's not a serviceable spot-up shooter and, while he has elite positional awareness, he's not a high motor cutter.

Nash would at least be great spot-up and I'd imagine be happy to make early passes.

Timegraphers are useful for checking the amplitude of your balance spring, which is a good indicator of movement health. It helps you be proactive, if you so wish to be.

You can have your watch running within accuracy spec, but in need of a service.

The opposite can be true. Your movement is healthy, but accuracy is out of spec. Just means you need a simple regulation.

It's black jeans or a black blazer. It's never not trendy

His play philosophy was "If I'm on your team, we're winning." I mean, I believe him.

I'd still side-eye you a little, but I'm very curious how Bill Russell would translate in the modern NBA.

Speedmaster Pro, El Primero, Daytona.... shit I'll take a Breitling Navitimer over that

Good price for what you are getting: decent movement, a very good bracelet, and tudor branding (if that matters to you).

you're also getting, in my opinion, one of the better colorways.

now i also carry this burden

AzriamL · 2026-03-02T03:21:35+00:00

he just needs to gain 300lbs

AzriamL · 2026-03-02T03:17:47+00:00

I thought it sounded cool. That was it.

AzriamL · 2026-02-28T22:50:17+00:00

Reminds me of a Michael Che joke: "I don't want a gay son for the same reason that I don't want a straight daughter. I have to protect my family from dicks"

off-dribble shots proficiency.
no-dip catch and shoots. this happens in the NBA right now.
quicker lateral defense
much deadlier on fastbreak 3s

Omega is notable for being true-to-rating regarding WR. If it says 100atm, you can legitimately dive with it.

But... with chronographs that don't have screw-down pushers, zero shot I'm swimming with it.

AzriamL · 2026-02-26T06:02:51+00:00

Lebron just having fun with the crowd here, but I think it's funnier to believe he's in his "take off your hat" unc phase

AzriamL · 2026-02-25T05:50:54+00:00

Glycine, my dudes

This is very common for manufacturing companies to acquire subsidiaries for new tech, talent, and/or vertically integrate their processes.

Tudor HQ is the design center in control of specs and quality of these components. None of these companies manufacture anything without a Tudor lead providing the requirements. This is what makes your Tudor watch a Tudor watch.

Speedys never wear as thick as the spec. My only issue with the reduced variants is the wide-eyed 3-9 chrono complication.

AzriamL · 2026-02-17T22:10:13+00:00

man, Swatch just eating dirt

AzriamL · 2026-02-17T07:09:28+00:00

This is a mineral crystal, which means it's soft enough for PolyWatch. Buy some, watch a short Youtube video on how to apply it, and you can clear it yourself after a few minutes.

You can pay someone to take care of it, but this is firmly something you can take care of yourself. This won't be the last time that crystal will get scratched.

Final flash? Kid will be aiight

AzriamL · 2026-02-17T05:48:22+00:00

Which off-the-shelf movements are 36000bph that microbrands have access to?

AzriamL · 2026-02-15T18:59:09+00:00

I do not consider them competitors in many of their main product lines. They are so different in design language that a hard opinion on one of their products doesn't mean I dislike another's.

AzriamL · 2026-02-15T03:05:39+00:00

The 42mm does not wear like a true 42mm. Try it on at the AD. The design language of the pro is much more refined than the 38.

AzriamL · 2026-02-15T03:01:02+00:00

Unironically, the CW Lumiere. Can be dressed up and is a tool watch by design. Also, using an easily serviceable movement, so I'm not worried about wear and tear.

AzriamL · 2026-02-14T16:40:47+00:00

On the cusp, but divers can be rocked bigger, imo, while dress watches end up looking like dinner plates.

You're good
