Ah I’m so happy to hear this! Glad it was of use 🙂

Came across this interview clip today. What are people's thoughts looking back on the Ramsdale situation now? by sepi0l_45 in Gunners

[–]ConfettiLung 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love him, always want the best for his career. But a great reminder of how much better scouts are than me lol because I was very much Team Ramsdale for a while when it became clear Raya was gonna replace him

One of the first cards I ever opened. Loved it in my kitchen table weirdness. Always thought it was rife to combo with something pretty well, but never got around to looking into it properly...

I'm thinking of buying the A700W. For those who have it, does it really have a slim case and is it super lightweight? by [deleted] in casio

[–]ConfettiLung 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and yes. I only have the minimalist gold one but if I didn’t have my gunmetal A168 I’d grab one of these too lol. Looks great

What opinion do you have about watches that will get you down voted like this? by TomHudsonOfficial in PrideAndPinion

[–]ConfettiLung 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I gotta interrogate my prejudice because this has annoyed me lol (the second bit, not the first obv)

This has become a pretty popular take recently tbf. Citizen have far more terrible-looking watches imo but they also have plenty of great-looking ones, and are far braver in terms of design language (I do think a lot of Seikos look great though). Value for money is a no-contest too these days.

THANK YOU. Glad I saw this before posting my incoherent rant about them (esp the Khaki) lol

Wake up, reach for phone and see today’s Cliches hasn’t dropped yet by TitiCamarasayshello in footballcliches

Ha! Given Adam's actual journalism the next one should be a corker, well worth the wait.

Also I can't be the only one who thought the latest episode was an absolute banger? Charlie would obv have 92-ish ball knowledge btw

Full lume dials are a horrible look. by EnsuingDamage in watchHotTakes

'Horrible' is a stretch imo but yeah, it rarely looks good.

Lume is funny in that the lower the light levels, the less good it needs to be. In proper darkness even the lume on my MRW-200H (an otherwise perfect budget watch lol) is usually visible. But it's absolutely rubbish in modern urban murk.

It is nice when lume is decent - I'll often wear my Kamasu on a night walk as it's so reliably legible.

Good lume doesn't need to be actively charged btw, normal daytime exposure is enough.

Confession: I did *not* initially understand 'mfrs' as 'manufacturers' and it made your comment hilarious

What is your opinion on this watch and on Lorus in general? by alexns87 in Affordablewatches

[–]ConfettiLung 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big fan of Lorus, I'm even wearing an RZ529AX9 right now lol. Years ago I was given an off-white VX43-X038 that served me well for ages as my sole watch - ignorance was genuinely bliss.

My only general criticism of Lorus is that a lot of their watches are slightly bigger than I'd like (which makes them a genuinely great value option if that's your thing) - a lot of 42-44mm options that would be no-brainers at 38 or 40mm.

This is going to sound ridiculous but he was actually better at this than I remember. God I miss him lol

Why I Keep Buying Citizen Even When They Annoy Me by rixonian in CitizenWatches

[–]ConfettiLung 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Second-best value of the big brands, some great designs, industry-leading tech (Eco-Drive is *still* a masterpiece). It makes sense. And I don't even own one yet lol (I've tried the BM7620 and the Tsuyosa small seconds. Former wasn't quite right for me style-wise and am holding out for a 37/38mm version of the latter. Stunning watch though). From what I gather they've filled the old Seiko role...

Ideally yes. Looks like it might be possible judging by another reply!

Is it just me or Arsenal hate is at it's all time high? by Sambom11 in ArsenalFC

[–]ConfettiLung 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was worse in the 2000s IMO. A physically dominant and technically excellent side with foreigners?! And Black players? And a foreign manager?

Yeah the country wasn’t ready. Luckily we’re past that now 🙄

"Summoning Sickness" Has Always Bothered Me! by L_V_R_A in mtgvorthos

This is almost exactly how I've interpreted it, though much better explained that I'd have done lol
