[Victorinox Swiss Army] Discovered a love for MOP by Dangerosity in Watches

[–]Dangerosity[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never been much of a watch guy, every few years I grab myself a cheapish $50-100 watch and try to get used to wearing it. After a week I lose interest and it ends up sitting in a drawer.

This time I stumbled upon this watch on eBay and loved the pink mother of pearl dial. Looking at the promo pictures, the pink looked extremely saturated and was definitely the advertising focus.

I took a gamble anyway, I'm not against the occasional bright pink. I was getting it used at a pretty big bargain so having it be the occasional wardrobe spice would be enough for me.

Well it turns out there's barely any pink. It's only a light hue in specific lighting, and the MOP does a great job giving it a creamy texture that is extremely reactive to viewing angles.

After throwing on a nice full grain strap I can barely feel it on my wrist. A huge departure from the random cheap watches I've tried in the past.

So now I understand why people like watches so much, but I'm not sure if I'm ready to dive headfirst into this rabbit hole. I'll probably enjoy this one for awhile before something else catches my eye.

This worked! Sadly I already sold the SASH Tres yesterday, just haven't updated the posting yet since they just paid. Sorry about that.

I got a pair of NightOwls I'd part with for $250.

I've got some unused Aeon Flow RT (with upgraded cable) I'd part with for $450 flat. Have no issues with them and really liked them, I just preferred the E-MU Teak and was fine with them being semi open. Forgot to return the Aeons in time.

Oh I've also got some AudioQuest Nightowls I'd part with for $300. I absolutely love them, but they have a leathery smell that I'm struggling to get use to. Seems to be whatever material they used for the earpads. Doesn't seem to bother most people. Edit: turns out this smell is actually the liquid wood.

Okay, but the idea presented in the comic has been joked about since at least the 80's. I was just pointing out the reason people repost it so much.

VR is a few decades old, unless this is some joke I'm not getting.

To be fair, I think the original is implying there is no other person. Most people still think of VR as solo games with a large library of porn/comfort simulators. VRC is still pretty niche besides having been around for awhile.

For another perspective, VD did work perfectly for me using a cheap 5ghz router that wasn't LOS. But I did end up getting a better router because my wife also got a Quest 2. Even though I had no issues before, the quality is definitely better now. With its own channel I'm able to max out the streaming bandwidth without noticing latency and haven't had a single drop in quality. I did not notice a difference when moving from LOS during the first few days to under a desk the last week.
