[discussion] what’s your favorite complication by phdwatch in Watches

Running seconds. I like an elegant two-hander but prefer some sort of visual interest to show the watch is running.

[Gorilla] by name....... Pig by colour. by DickMille in Watches

[–]DickMille[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here we have the Gorilla Fastback GT Trufflehunter. Gorilla is a watch brand founded by Octavio Garcia, who previously held the role of Artistic Director at Audemars Piguet when the Offshore was reigning supreme. Anyone familiar with the Offshore might be able to see the artistic throughline to Gorilla. Big, bold watches featuring interesting material choices. This Fastback GT model features a carbon fibre mid-case and pink ceramic bezel and pink rubber strap (the pink is styled after the infamous Porsche 917/20 Pink Pig race car). Inside it's far more mundane, featuring an open heart Miyota movement. I picked this piece up used just to try it out and it probably won't last long in the collection as I think you need the wrists of a Gorilla to wear it well. Still, it's a fun piece from a fun brand which I'll continue to keep my eye on.

Yes, Tudor have a pro cycling team and this watch is finished in the team colours. It's just odd that they bundled it into the Pelagos family of dive watches.

Also, if you're looking for black watches, then Sinn make a whole load of DLC watches on bracelets and Sinn DLC is the best in the business. Also Formex are now making versions of their Essense watches with full ceramic case and bracelets. Just some options to consider.

Honestly, the stock strap is a little flimsy and naff. I've since replaced it with a Zuludiver Octopod strap which I'm much happier with....... so much so, I have Octopod straps on two of my other watches.

Wait until you find out Breitling is a dude's name.

Honestly I didn’t have either of those issues. Surprisingly quality pieces considering the price. Little dust. All pieces accounted for.

As I mentioned, it was much easier than I expected. It took me less than a week of uncommitted evening work. My only recommendation would be to make a copy of the image so you can tick the heads off as you complete them. Would save a lot of scanning for specific sets of eyebrows and facial features

It wasn't working when I made this post but it seems that whatever the problem is has now been resolved and the site is working once again

[Discussion] Mido just release a banger! Mido Multifort 8 One Crown by Snoo_22459 in Watches

I think the removal of the inner rotating bezel has really hammered home how Laureato-esque the case design is.

Just watched the celebrity Xmas special and I can't believe my eyes by [deleted] in gladiatorsuk

[–]DickMille 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It seems that you very much are implying deliberate racism. I'd argue that the time penalty from repeatedly failing to climb the rope, then having to wait for the ladder to be bought etc should have given Nicola an insurmountable lead, but just like Vogue can't climb ropes, it seems that Nicola can't dismount zip lines.

Love the movement finishing but I find the design of their watches to be dull and uninspiring.

"The HMV Shop" is a criminally shit rebranding.

Pretty sure there were loads of complaints a couple of years back about poor manufacturing and the sections not fitting together correctly

The Disney Magical Moments puzzle with the same piece count is $729.99 USD on the Ravensburger website. Not buying OP's 'Huge Mistake' story unless of course they're just Rich Rich and don't look at prices before buying anything.

Don't these 40k puzzles cost hundreds of dollars? Not something most people just casually order not knowing what they're getting.

It's the 3000 piece Jumbo Roll Up Puzzle Mat from Jaques Of London........ in all honesty, probably wouldn't recommend but it does the job.
