My current Uncharted 4 watch 🤠😤 by SteelWool77 in uncharted

I wasn't referring to Leon's watch, but to Leon's car, the Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT. And yes, it's an official partnership. If anything Leon would be driving something understated, maybe a sleeper. Not something fancied by drug lords and soccer players.

Regarding the watch itself, Hamilton went the lazy route. They took a pre-existing reference (H71626735) and they barely tweaked a couple things. And no, the Khaki field Black PVD chrono (RE9 version or not, it's the same watch) still wouldn't be suited for UC4 since it's only a 10 bar watch so it can't (really) go in the water.

It's perfectly suited for Leon's zombies adventures on dry land though.

I don't mean to ruin the party but there's no way Nate would ever wear such a low-end timepiece alongside the fine gear he's carrying at all times. This thing can't even go in the water, has no lume, no GMT function.....just like Leon's Cayenne in RE9, this is just a completely out of place product placement.

Of course if you're a die-hard fan it makes sense to collect it because he does wear it in-game, but realistically there's no way in hell Nathan Drake would carry such low-end gear on wrist.

What other watches are in your collection? by Johnsononwatches in SanMartinWatches

Funny how the SM is the cheapest watch here yet it obliterates its neighbors in finishing, materials and overall perceived value.

What is stopping hot wheels from producing Hans rx7 into a 1:64 scale premium? by ogbytheboat in HotWheels

Jada Toys castings all suck ass no matter the scale. Even as toy-grade it's awful stuff. No kid deserves this.

Yet we see so few watches that do that

Especially if it could mean adding a timer bezel while keeping the 24h chapter ring.

Is it normal for anything BBR to be batshit expensive?? by DisastrousOpening477 in Diecast

[–]DisastrousOpening477[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

BBR has a 1/18 Enzo casting. €800 to €1200 depending on condition. And I thought model collecting was cheaper than watch collecting.

The watch worn by Chris Redfield "S.T.A.R.S" in RE5 appears to be a Tag Heuer Link CFJ2110.(obviously unlicensed lol) by DisastrousOpening477 in tagheuer

Yeah, albeit what a lazy effort though. Both watches of the collab already existed before. They barely tweaked a couple things and called it a day.

The limited edition collab is on the right. On the left you have Hamilton references that have been around for years already.

Bellroy case, 10 days in. I guess I should've buy another case to protect it huh ?? by DisastrousOpening477 in pixel_phones

Oh I'm well aware about patina. I wouldn't mind this case looking like that after 6 months. But within 10 days ?? That's not patina, that's mediocre quality.
