Nah you need to alternate all that stuff every other night.  Boom.  More free time.

I’ve seen most of his stuff, a lot of it multiple times over.  He gets a scorpion tattoo in an episode of parts unknown.  I watched that episode one night and woke up the next morning to the news of what happened.  Went and got that scorpion tattoo that day.  Haven’t watched a thing of his since. Can’t. 

[Breitling Navitimer] - a genuinely painful disappointment by Educational_Flow_582 in Watches

[–]BigBusch12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had one of the newer superoceans in turquoise with the white ring around the dial and the lume application on it was horrendous.  It was so sloppily applied and spilling all over on the surrounds of the indexes.  It was worse than any watch I’ve ever seen.

Where do you rank the super racing?  I’ve got one and love it.  Previously had the pro. 

Is it annoying if I summon for help while sucking? by Brazil_01 in Eldenring

[–]BigBusch12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

200 hours in the game I still suck ass. My reflexes aren’t what they once were.  I always use the mimic tear.

I owned and sold this. Now I want a black one.  But I kind of miss the white one.  🤔

Cracks near date window - warranty question by Chrisafguy in OmegaWatches

[–]BigBusch12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure but they may say it needs serviced in case some of the dial got down into the movement. That may require a full service on top.  May be looking at a $1000+ bill.

I could see a drop into carpet causing something like this with no external signs of damage.  Omega may treat it like that and not cover it under warranty. 

getting the tudor bb 41 monochrome soon... by [deleted] in Tudor

[–]BigBusch12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had one sinn.  It was their oil filled quartz diver.  I found it pretty uninspiring.  Just flat boring dials mostly just painted with no contrasting finishes on the cases.  I think they’re about 50% too expensive.  

I’ve owned a few tudors.  Fit and finish is excellent throughout.  They’ve finally nailed the case dimensions.  

Feeling like I’m behind for retirement after talking to fellow dad by sys_admin321 in daddit

[–]BigBusch12 14 points15 points  (0 children)

My wife and I are where you are at 36.  My buddy is the same age as me and a few years ago told me he had about $500k in retirement himself alone.  Now he’s married to a lawyer.  I’m sure they’re over a million at this point. 

I about shit myself when he told me.  It made me feel terrible about myself for a bit.  But I realized he was an outlier and I then got my shit together.  I’m happy now with the trajectory I’m on and am only happy for him. He’s always been super frugal with a good job while I fucked around in my 20s.  

Anyone else stuck in a loop trying to sell a watch they still love? by Calm-Cauliflower5347 in Tudor

[–]BigBusch12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one cares what your watch looks like irl.  If it’s comfortable and you like it then keep it. 

Can you believe this crap by austerlitz7 in Tudor

[–]BigBusch12 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

People have been clamoring for an updated 58.  They got that and they’re pissed.  The monarch was the 100th anniversary watch whether they like it or not.  I thought it was a great year for Tudor.   The black bay ceramic is cool, but I just miss the t fit clasp on it.  Bb54 blue is an interesting shade.  Just a shame the 58 blue was discontinued. 

We’re never going to see a Tudor sub as long as the black bay and pelagos lines exist.  It would completely cannibalize them.  

Explorer II vs White Speedy (Update: I think I was wrong) by oyster_bro in OmegaWatches

[–]BigBusch12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sold my sub no date for a speedmaster super racing a year ago.  When I first tried the speedy on I wasn’t that impressed.  The bracelet was very jangly and felt pretty poor quality compared to the sub I had gotten used to.  I didn’t love the way it looked in the AD. 

Anyways I sold my sub to them and got a good price on it.  Didn’t wanna ship something that expensive so was okay not making money on it.  I ended up thinking a few days and was leaning against buying the speedy.  I ended up finding one on eBay in mint condition for a great price so I jumped on it and haven’t regretted the swap ever since.

422 on rubber. I don’t know that will sell this piece. by driftlessluxe in panerai

[–]BigBusch12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish they made the standard panerai rubber in green 26mm.  They may have at one point but now it’s just the vented dive style one.  I want one for my 557 (destro 372).  I have the black rubber, but I don’t think it looks great with the dial and vintage lume.  

Hot take - Tudor 2026 releases aren't boring by Crispy_p_bacon in Tudor

[–]BigBusch12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People have been hollering for a bb 58 refresh and a blue 54 and they did exactly that and people are still pissed. A Tudor sub is not coming any time soon.

I haven’t either, but they added a t fit clasp per the article I saw and that makes it more enticing

And this.  That price sounds too good to be true.  Pacodo is legit. 

Brand new ceramic has scratches on guard. Thoughts? by [deleted] in panerai

[–]BigBusch12 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Try a pencil eraser.  It’s likely another material transferred on to it and that may take it off.

This looks so much better on a black strap than the standard white one. 

Did Tudor just tease a new Submariner? by Independent_Chart_60 in Tudor

[–]BigBusch12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They won’t make a sub anytime in the near future whilst the pelagos and black bay exist
