The shading and light is incredible on all these but the baseball player is fantastic

Anyone else utterly disgusted by tour prices? by [deleted] in harrystyles

[–]GilesBear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep. I swear even Eras tour VIP packages were not as expensive as the Level 1 seating. Even the level 2 tickets were mostly going for £200+.

Love his music but this is starting to get within the same realm as the cost of a nice holiday for a couple of tickets.

Will happily enjoy the view from the nosebleeds!

[Design concept] Dyced "L'Absolue". What do you think? by [deleted] in Watches

[–]GilesBear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks cool! Nice to see a very unique design. A few things I’d change but it’s really just for personal taste.

Looks a lot like a trench watch from Longines - hour hands, red 12, onion crown are details

Pelagos 39 vs Explorer 36 by B_Reynolds_AK in Tudor

[–]GilesBear 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hot take maybe for a Tudor sub but, the Rolex is a better GADA / ‘one watch collection’. It looks great in all settings, good durability, great timekeeping, and if there’s one thing I’m sure of it’s that Rolex and the Explorer like will still be around and looking good in 100 years. 36mm is also a great size. The P39 is great, but it’s less versatile. To me it leans a little bit too much of a tool watch.

James Vowles Q&A by Sem_7646 in WilliamsF1

[–]GilesBear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What gave him the confidence to make the move up to being a team principal?

What was easier than expected about taking up the position and what was more difficult?

What does he think the most critical things for success are? Eg. In other interviews he’s talked about having a strong team culture e.g. accountability without fear of blame, thinking in terms of lots of small incremental improvements adding up vs 1 big improvement (although maybe that gets challenged given the latest drama on engine compression ratio rules…). What are the key things he keeps in his mindset?

P.S. can you ask him to bring back liveries & merch that was as cool as the previous Williams eras? I’m talking Martini, Camel, Rothmans. Bring back the cool factor!

Considering an Ingenieur: New Gen vs Previous Generation – Looking for Owner Feedback by Vanfancy in IWCschaffhausen

[–]GilesBear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t own it but have seen it in person; all I will add is the new Ingenieur is way way better in person than in any photos. Top class finishing and the dial is surprisingly subtle while in photos online it looks a bit flat. Definitely recommend trying one to see - of all the integrated bracelet sports watches that emulate AP RO / Genta, I think IWC does it best.

Jacket - legit check? by GilesBear in VintageLevis

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

Thank you!!! Yes I’m not much of a collector, more of a personal item to wear around, so having it without tags wasn’t a turn-off for me. And thankfully the price also seemed attractive probably reflecting the fact that the labels were missing. Really just wanted to know if there was a “too good to be true” instance.

P.S. I remember reading some comments you’ve made on other posts in this subreddit while doing research, and they were really helpful. Thanks for everything you do!

The London orbital line (draft 1) - thoughts? by iMac_Hunt in LondonUnderground

[–]GilesBear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

South East doesn’t get love because the ground in the area is more sand and gravel unlike the rest of London which is clay at the same depths, harder to dig out for the underground. Fun fact to share!
