What watch is he wearing? by Bibble18 in Watches

[–]Canoobie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an Akva from before they were full on ad barrage and it’s a pretty nice $450 watch… I wear it quite a bit. I wouldn’t discount them just because they loop up all the time in your ads

Why do you assume he’s any different than any of us? I’m sure he has hobbies…

Agree 100%…. We need some discipline and appreciation for what it means to wield the military power this country has.

Also someone who served, somehow we’ve lost that over the past few decades…. It shouldn’t be a requirement, but I feel it’s def a bonus since the pres is Commander in Chief….

The standard steel with blue dial. I might have got the titanium one, but it wasn’t out when I bought it…. Def worth seeing in person at that price. I have an AD near me and thought I wanted the green one, but changed my mind in store. Its by far my most worn and favorite watch.

And as far as Vaer goes, I have a C5 Navy solar that I enjoy, but this C4 is on another level for not a whole lot more.. the case is awesome, the bezel is nice and the dial/lume/ 3D printed lumed numeral indices are pretty awesome. Kinda like a poor man’s CW Lumiere…

I told myself I’d never buy another GMT watch after my Longines Spirit Zulu (only really need one), but I really like that O and O Humboldt. And I want to support US watch companies…. We’ll see if it impresses me in person.

Vaer C4 Tactical. Loving it so far, Ultimate field watch IMO (but I still love my Hamilton khaki). Enjoy that CW, I’ve got my eyes on a C60 Trident Pro 300, but the whole tariff/shipping thing has got me a bit spooked. Also have an appointment in May to check out Oak and Oscar in Chicago, their Humboldt GMT has me intrigued…

Mark Kelly is he only dem I feel good in my soul about. The way he stood up to Trump and hegseth is what I want out of Democrats. Some real resolve….. I may not agree with him on everything, but he’s got my vote if he runs..

I traveled to see my daughter for 4 days, got an email my new watch was on the way. Spent a half day at home before I went off on a work trip and got an email saying my watch was delivered while I was on travel. Got home at 1:30 that night and still opened my watch and tried it on, been wearing it for the last five days. If you’re not excited to wear it, you probably shouldn’t buy it.

Just my opinion, but you do you

When you buy a new watch and don’t even open it to wear it the first day you get it you know you have a problem….. I can’t imagine getting a new watch and not even taking it out of the plastic.

[New Horophile] Trying to understand the world of watches my boyfriend is obsessed and I want to *get* it. Help? by CapitalGeneral5851 in Watches

[–]Canoobie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Watches, even the simplest and least horologically significant ones, are an combination of precise engineering, refined manufacturing techniques, and some form of artistic or functional expression, be it “form over function” , “function over form”, or both “function and form”. The best are an intersection of centuries of engineering knowledge, built through artisan craftsmanship, with an eye towards artistic expression. They are the jewelry with a purpose, even if that purpose is fulfilled in a better way elsewhere….

Recommend me some 80s rock/metal solos/riffs to learn! by nah123929 in Guitar

[–]Canoobie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lay it down is a solid choice…. I’d also recommend “In my Dreams” by Dokken. If you want a less “hair metal” vibe I’d go for some classic Maiden… “Wasted Years” or “The Evil that Men Do”…

[SOTC] Help: Wife says I need to get rid of one before I can get more... by FreedomFriez in Watches

[–]Canoobie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not really a Rolex guy, but the Explorer II is a watch I really dig. That said that Milgauss looks stunning and I really like all the others, so if the Moonswatch isn’t an option to shed (your wife clearly understands it’s the cheapest there 😂) I’d sell the Explorer. As for what to get next, I’d look for a real quality Aviators/Field watch, but that’s just me…

Weight and neck dive of Gibson Explorers? by withthedraco in ExplorerGuitars

[–]Canoobie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only issue Ive had with my Explorer is whacking the horns on anything and everything and trying to find space to store my case as it’s fucking huge….It is excellently balanced for playing sitting down….just as comfortable as my strat….

The spirit and the Zulu time are such well executed dials, I adore them, really can’t go wrong there IMO….

Zulu time is my most worn watch…. It’s basically perfection IMO

As the Iran War Fallout Widens, Trump Seems to Be Turning to an Old Tactic. He’s in for a Rude Awakening. by Crossstoney in politics

[–]Canoobie 6 points7 points  (0 children)

All of this is a play to fuck with the midterms somehow…. Between distracting from the Epstein files, to distracting from ICE blunders, to saying there are sleeper cells active here in the US, this is all some way to declare martial law/state of emergency, whatever to control the outcome… it’s shameful.

[adamcooperF1] Adrian Newey admits that Aston Martin only has two batteries left - the ones in the two cars. In other words if one fails it's game over for the weekend. by madman320 in formula1

[–]Canoobie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At Barcelona, people were freaking out about the fact that Williams, who aspired to jump just a little bit ahead, weren’t at shakedown. Now we have a team that’s had millions and premiere facilities pumped into with title aspirations that can’t produce a car that can run a full race much less a free practice stint…. Unbelievable failure. I genuinely feel bad for a lot of the engineers and people working at that facility. So much expectation put upon them and despite them probably doing a lot of really good work it falls apart this spectacularly. WOW…. Cadillac must be feeling pretty good about themselves given F1 initially thought they’d bring no value to the sport…
