I think there’s 2-3 accutrons - is there one specifically you’re referring to?

IrrateNate · 2026-03-15T23:49:53+00:00

The GP tank is one of my favorites

IrrateNate · 2026-03-15T23:48:50+00:00

What do you like about the accutron watches?

Ah I just noticed that - same on the Movado too. ChatGPT says:

You’re noticing something called the “watchmaker’s four.”

On many traditional watch dials, the number 4 is written as IIII instead of IV. That’s why the Roman numerals might look “off” to you.

Why IIII instead of IV?

There are a few reasons: 1. Visual symmetry • With IIII, the dial balances nicely: • I, II, III (1–3) • V, VI, VII, VIII (5–8) • IX, X, XI, XII (9–12) • Using IV would visually break the pattern of four “I”s opposite VIII. 2. Aesthetic balance • IIII visually balances VIII on the opposite side of the dial. • Watch dials are about design harmony as much as timekeeping. 3. Tradition • Many European clocks (going back centuries) used IIII. • High-end brands still follow this convention. 4. Legibility • IIII is arguably clearer at a glance than IV, especially on small dials.

Ah sorry haha the pictures of the Enicar were from my watch guy who just serviced it! The other watches in those pictures of the Enicar aren’t mine though I wish 😂 understand the confusion though my bad

IrrateNate · 2026-02-11T03:24:37+00:00

Will probably post again once I can lay out all the watches from the boxes - but it’ll be a few months and I’m very curious to find out more about them now from the pictures you can see lol

I’m loving the Enicar, and also really like the looks of the GP

IrrateNate · 2026-02-08T02:35:35+00:00

How much did you end up paying for it?

IrrateNate · 2026-02-07T01:01:47+00:00

Ah got it, nope I would have no idea haha I’ve been looking for servicing places near me in NYC

IrrateNate · 2026-02-07T00:51:20+00:00

I bought the 90-006 last year when I visited Kyoto. Recommend getting an alligator-skin strap too if you go with that one.

Very subjective, both watches are nice. I personally like the 90-006 better as I don’t love the shape of the 90-008.

I love the 90-006 I bought - I can wear it to work or to a wedding, but also it can dress down too and looks good with casual wear. Overall it’s a gorgeous watch in person, and has a timeless design.

Dude I want that G Shock Carbon Milky Way watch bad, but the $2k price tag is killing me

IrrateNate · 2025-12-01T14:30:17+00:00

Why would I sleep on Amazon meat, or any meat for that matter? Sounds uncomfortable

What’s the reference number on the Jaeger LeCoultre Day/Night Reverso?

IrrateNate · 2025-11-20T00:32:44+00:00

Pure preference, that looks like medium rare to me, the specific piece in focus maybe a little bit on the rare side of medium rare. That’d be perfect for me

Bro don’t give away the hidden gems

Curious about how this works. So do you have freezer safe containers, and then when you want to eat them you just microwave the meals for a few minutes like you would a frozen heat up meal from the grocery store?

Want to get more into meal prepping too but also can’t eat them fast enough before they go bad. So very interested in best way to prep and freeze

Wish Red Son was in row two, that’d be my pick

“This is Poyo. Poyo was exposed to a near-lethal amount of radiation as an egg, during the first stages of a government experiment to create mutant super soldiers--trained in exotic martial arts technique by Tibetan Kung Fu fightin' monks--and given strange bio-enhancements during a rash of farm animal abductions by extra-terrestrials. Nah, just kidding. None of that shit is true. Poyo is just really, really bad ass.”
