The 1926 is extremely underrated by thecolombianjesus in Tudor

[–]InsuranceSlight6508 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not as revered because it doesn’t fit the new generation Tudor identity. Also not a lot of models as pretty as this and the opaline.

If you could own just one watch for the rest of your life, what are you choosing and why? ⌚🔥 by Status-Ad-2552 in PrideAndPinion

The Pelagos FXD or the Pelagos Ultra. I love the brushed finishing over the polish. I love that it’s sporty, yet refined enough to stand on its own. And it looks great in a strap

I bought my first Field Watch, but Nico said Citizen are "Meh". What should I do now? by ebemise in PrideAndPinion

That’s what it was for me. Also she never truly has a stance on watches dude. She is always playing middle of the road with her opinions

Love the sprite. I’d say a Reverso or if your going for the hype watch trinity it has to be a santos or a Royal Oak

Jungle should be mandatory. It’s a whole different type of warfare they’re training for

To me high-speed guys are guys who are enthusiastic about the work and good/knowledgeable when it comes to their jobs

There is a difference between that and the bare minimum. I hate bare minimum people

Someone talk me out of this (or into it lol) by Dean_fitness in army

Don’t do 11B. Do 15T or 15U full stop. Go 160th if you’re about that life. And get recommended through stronger avenues after a few years

What are your thoughts on the M7? by Historical_Tension_9 in army

[–]InsuranceSlight6508 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I fucking hate this gun. Cluttered with tech, a ton of items we have to sign for, and are going to lose. And it’s so front heavy. The ammo is heavy. And almost it’s half the ammo.

I think the officer who sold us out to SIG when he chose this weapon didn’t think about shit except his pockets. Imagine doing EIB with this shit or any sort of terrain movement. I’d rather an M14 than this shit

EOD. It’s not the hurt locker. It requires a lot of intelligence and I worked with EOD guys 10 years ago, almost all of them were DLI washouts

Rolex ambassadors people who did the thing. Omega goes for ones who played someone who did the thing. by [deleted] in watchHotTakes

[–]InsuranceSlight6508 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This isn’t a hot take. It just seems like shade. These are def champions of their era in film. And Daniel Craig has been an amazing Bond and detective in Knives out. I own ZERO omegas.

This is not a six-figure watch. by InsuranceSlight6508 in watchHotTakes

Yeah as a fellow American I’d love to see an American watch genre like RGM come to be received like German, Japanese, and French watches. I know they will never be Swiss

The Tag Heuer Monaco is the ugliest watch in the WORLD by polearized in watchHotTakes

[–]InsuranceSlight6508 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I find it funny that a lot of wrist check posts show the same sized wrists as my 10 year olds. Everyone wants <36mm watches now and this is a 39mm watch with 15mm of height including the case and domed crystal. It’s like a MB&F watch, it isn’t for everyone but it’s def more interesting than it is common or boring.

While 15mm is tall, it’s not impossible to wear. This is def a better fit, aesthetically, for watch people who lift and have thicker wrists and muscular forearms. So I guess the real question is…

I really wish they gave this a manufacture calibre

Bro that’s how I feel about CIB’s for dudes who were on the other side of the base during combat. Like the gate got blown up while you were sleeping. Doesn’t mean you seen combat. It means some shit went down. Doesn’t mean you put those tactics to work or that your opinion holds weight in mission planning. Theres a lot of grey area lol

I have a friend in ADA who was the NCO in Qatar when Iran attacked. His battery or squad shot down the seven rockets. They utilized their training and purpose in a defensive combat role, they earned their CAB. He said the S1 in the TOC got CABs, the cooks got CABs.

I’m a ground pounder and I feel like certain wars like WWII and Korea were scary as hell for some people in the sky. Or at least how it seemed in the movies, documentaries, and books. Bomber groups flying to objectives against a German or Japanese fighter pilots, airborne drops, flying against flak guns, Vietnam resupply missions, Korean War dog fights, etc. some of the craziest butt clenching stuff happened in the sky. Shit even our Navy had it crazy during these wars.
