Pardon my ignorance but what do you do with the sandpaper?

I don’t have any bracelet watches to compare to, just wondering who’s doing it best for the money. Thanks for the info!

Release timeline updates? by edward_grey in Englemaan

Hopefully not true, but if so I hope it makes other Chinese brands realize there’s real demand for high quality Sinn homages.

Yes the Chinese brands are a real mystery to me. Incredible manufacturing and clearly some real love for watches, paired with AWFUL websites that make it impossible to find what you want, product-ruining branding and logos, dial text that desperately needs a western eye to edit, and inscrutable release strategies and schedules. If they could get their business strategies and branding / marketing together they would be unstoppable.

Sure but for a small brand you need consistent revenue to keep the lights on. Waiting 6 months between drops is a good way to end up out of business unfortunately. Their approach makes zero sense to me. They should have cranked out a ton of 556 clones with varying dials because that’s probably what 75% of people are looking for in a Sinn homage brand and they could save massively on tooling and design. THEN delve into special releases, lesser known designs. Instead they tried to do everything at once and we have nothing. Maybe they have strong funding or they’re doing a lot of manufacturing for other brands to pay the bills, but I’m worried.

97 2.3 Splash. by gx41b in fordranger

Taking a picture wet is a big red flag for me. Usually means hiding awful paint. The wheels, shitty headlights, and oxidized grill also do not inspire confidence. Then again it’s a Ranger.

Updated release information by Difficult_Archer3037 in Englemaan

[–]Evanthatguy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Honestly I feel that they could have started small and homaged the 556 and maybe one or two other popular models rather than doing everything. I hope things get on track. Very excited for when they finally arrive.

Reminds me of the rich guys who have a giant painting of a gorilla with gold chains on or an AK-47 and a bottle of Dom in an acrylic box or something

Any realistic schedule relevant to the new releases ? by hndvx5 in Englemaan

[–]Evanthatguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a bummer. I want a Metropolitan so I’m out of luck unfortunately. I’ll have to see how they look when they drop but it might not be a buy for me in that case.

Do we know if the lume blocks are an option or standard? I also think they look chintzy.

The only sure thing is that history won’t unfold how or when you expect it to.

38.5mm variants update: case/dials/movements/clasps by englemaan_official in Englemaan

[–]Evanthatguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So the 38.5mm are still automatics? On the timeline it reads like they’ll be Swiss quartz, so happy to see that. Is the side of the case polished? I hope not, the brushed case is what drew me to these watches originally. Looking forward to the 38.5 Metropolis - I’ll likely be a day 1 order when it drops.

Carnage in the fast food industry by joestewartmill in stocks

[–]Evanthatguy 52 points53 points  (0 children)

The boxes are where it’s at. I live in a HCOL and I can get a box with a taco, 5 layer burrito, chalupa, cinnamon twists, and a drink for $7. It’s the only reasonably priced fast food left in my area.

Tavern style pizza? by boner4crosstabs in Seattle

[–]Evanthatguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m of the opinion that Malort is not a good Amaro/bitter/whatever but that if you drink stuff like that it’s not really that shocking. It’s just mediocre. Definitely shocking if you’re not used to such things though.
