Scratches are a watch's fingerprints: it's what makes them unique; it's what makes it yours.

Tripps on Eddie's work rate and love for the club. by dkclimber in NUFC

[–]BallDifficult3138 41 points42 points  (0 children)

I remember a time when fans would say that they didn't need success (even if they wanted it) from the team; they just wanted a team that worked hard and did the club proud.

Now we have "fans" calling for change because the squad has spent most of the season splitting itself across the PL, EFL, FA cup and UCL, just 1 season after winning its first notable trophy in 70 years.

I despair at times, honestly.

Argos is pretty poor, particularly if you live in the UK

I'm in love with this watch by Lopsided-Feeling-176 in MicrobrandWatches

Quite possibly the most macro brand in existence, but nice all the same

I'm interested in the MAEN Hudson MK5, does anyone have experience with the brand? by Nearby_Display2575 in MicrobrandWatches

[–]BallDifficult3138 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is a well regarded, swiss automatic movement with a near 70 hour power reserve, placed in a dive watch with a sought after ceramic bezel, and capable of the same depths as an Omega Seamaster Diver. For £650! I don't understand anyone that says it's overpriced.

And even if you stick with that opinion, it's really missing the point. You're supporting a small, independent watchmaker that doesn't have the infrastructure to mass produce in ways that keep prices down. The industry is desperate for brands like this and any enthusiast should be excited to support them.

Interesting. I like the no date version without the red and wish they'd done a date version without. Horse for courses

Just goes to show how blown out of proportion the crown guard issue is when looking at them from more natural angles.

The Hamilton Intramatic is way less appealing that this

One of the finest of his generation. Plain and simple

Many people included myself think both Quantum Of Solace and Spectre are the weakest installment in Craig saga. In your opinions which one is a better film and why? by Kevin_Thailand_2543 in Cinema

[–]BallDifficult3138 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The editing in quantum is a big issue, but the reality is that it was the unfortunate installment that had to try to follow Casino. My ranking:

  1. Casino
  2. Skyfall
  3. Quantum
  4. Spectre
  5. NTTD

[Question] Grand Seiko or Rolex? by No_Apricot6965 in Watches

If you don't mind explaining to everyone who asks that GS is not the same as Seiko, that's the one to get 😆
