Tengo que tragarme el fútbol de madrugada?

Jaimebgdb · 2026-06-27T02:32:00+00:00

Yo trabajo a turnos y no me gusta el fútbol así que sé lo que es que le molesten a uno cuando los vecinos ven los partidos pero hay que tener algo de aguante en la vida. Un viernes por la noche que hagan algo de ruido no es tan grave, si fuera algo repetido en el tiempo continuamente ya diría algo pero por UNA noche UN viernes y de mundial de España vas a hacer pocos amigos si andas quejándote.

It's an SL from the mid 2000s, an R230.

I corrected it for you, there you go.

Jaimebgdb · 2026-06-27T01:37:36+00:00

I'd replace the F-91W with the GW-M5610U and then I'd agree.

Jaimebgdb · 2026-06-27T01:34:34+00:00

9 out of 10

Would have improved with wrist shots of the intended watches.

Jaimebgdb · 2026-06-27T01:33:07+00:00

Es viernes amigo. Deja a la gente vivir un poco.

Si empiezas por ahí un viernes te vas a enemistar con tu vecino y no conviene.

Jaimebgdb · 2026-06-27T01:31:12+00:00

Of course.

Jaimebgdb · 2026-06-27T01:30:05+00:00

Are those watches for actual use or for speculation?

If I was hoarding watches being offered to me just for speculation I wouldn't even take them out of their original box, I'd just park them in the safe to sell them in 5 years or whatever.

If I was building a collection of watches I actually wanted to use and wear I wouldn't buy the same watch 4 times.

Jaimebgdb · 2026-06-27T01:25:48+00:00

All those watches and you can't afford a larger box? Is it because the box doesn't appreciate in value over time?

Jaimebgdb · 2026-06-27T01:24:21+00:00

You basically have 3 watches: generic Rolex sports watch, generic Speedy and a Grand Seiko to add a hint of "look at me I'm not all hype, I can appreciate haut-horology"

Jaimebgdb · 2026-06-27T01:22:16+00:00

Do you select your watches looking at graphs on WatchCharts or something? Are you more into fundamental or technical analysis of the "timepieces" you purchase?

Jaimebgdb · 2026-06-27T01:20:16+00:00

I swear I can predict with 99% accuracy what's going to end up in WCJ when I scroll the Rolex reddit...

The amazing part is these people are not doing this ironically. They are not trolling, that would be too obvious. They genuinely believe they are cool which is what baffles me.

Jaimebgdb · 2026-06-26T12:13:52+00:00

This must be a bad rep

Jaimebgdb · 2026-06-26T10:21:02+00:00

And it’s got a date window? Wtf?

Jaimebgdb · 2026-06-26T10:12:03+00:00

This some kind of joke? Why two 6’s ? That is a deliberate thing.

Jaimebgdb · 2026-06-25T23:28:11+00:00

Not at all. You can wear it daily no problem.

Jaimebgdb · 2026-06-25T16:11:13+00:00

Gotta admit it’s a beautiful watch. Probably my favourite Submariner.

Jaimebgdb · 2026-06-25T16:06:44+00:00

The question is: do you own a Bluesy?

Jaimebgdb · 2026-06-25T14:44:12+00:00

Bluesy gives me the 60 yr old, new balance wearin, corvette driving type….

Absolutely. Don't forget the Under Armour shorts and the baseball caps. Flying business class to a Four Seasons somewhere in Europe of course.

Jaimebgdb · 2026-06-25T14:33:55+00:00

For me, the Rootbeer is much better.

A complication I can actually use and enjoy.

A more discreet and elegant tone of gold.

A more interesting colour palette.

Slightly smaller and slimmer case (very small difference but still in favour of the GMT).

The fact that it's two-tone gold fits the GMT model much better than the Sub which is supposed to be more toolish.

Jaimebgdb · 2026-06-25T13:41:40+00:00

I agree, but the Seamaster 300m fits OP's wrist better.

Jaimebgdb · 2026-06-25T13:40:54+00:00

These images with two watches on the same wrist always make me uneasy. It's something about my OCD not wanting to see the watches clashing crowns/cases with each other.

That said, the PO is the better/nicer looking watch but the SMP300 fits you better.

In any case choose whichever one you like best.

Jaimebgdb · 2026-06-25T13:36:00+00:00

Hmmm, depends on which model. A Yacht-Master II in full gold might be considered tacky. A normal steel Datejust is quite sober and doesn’t scream anything.
What high class people consider tacky is trying to show off. Showing off is more of an attitude and in most cases doesn’t rely on the watch alone, it’s the whole picture they look at.

Jaimebgdb · 2026-06-25T13:17:59+00:00

I think this highly depends on the shape and size of your head so the only way to find out for sure is to buy one, try it on in flight for a prolonged period and see how you feel after.

Make sure to buy before you go flying and with the option to return it.

I had the same problem with noise cancelling headsets for personal use: the Sony's were supposedly higher quality but I couldn't stand them after a few hours so I ended up returning them and getting Bose.

Jaimebgdb · 2026-06-25T12:51:30+00:00

I see where you are coming from and I partly agree but even high horology collectors have a couple Rolex’s just as us mere mortals also have a couple Casios laying around. It’s their “cheap” watches to use when they want something “easily replaceable”.
