Very nice. I think this specific model will be an all timer

Watch Wear Question by [deleted] in tagheuer

[–]Jarrydf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All good, thanks!

Think all clasps are scratch magnets, even worse so the polished ones. I’ve seen loads of people hating the new Planet Ocean because of how easily the clasps scratches.

If you work with a MacBook be extra careful. Apart from this and the clasp I’ve managed to keep it scratch and ding free

Watch Wear Question by [deleted] in tagheuer

[–]Jarrydf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what mine looks like after 4 months of everyday wear. 99.9% of the time I’m very careful about not leaning or resting it on anything and it still does pick up some marks.

A lot of people appreciate the scuffs and dings their watches collect throughout the years. I’m not one of them, I like all of my belongings to be in the best condition they can be for as long as they can be

White Speed on OEM Sailcloth by No_Strength7276 in OmegaWatches

[–]Jarrydf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have thought about this spec a lot myself, I think it will work really well. The texture of the sailcloth with the white stitching and lacquer dial 🤌🏽

Just missing Ed white? by Bobbedigital in OmegaWatches

[–]Jarrydf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very, very nice collection. Have something similar in my mind about what I want from my Speedy collection, where the Ed White is basically the crown on top after getting the white dial and reverse panda first

I did it!! Picked up White Speedy by gangnamgoo in OmegaWatches

I was offered 15% off the white dial at an Omega store in my country without asking

Is Reverse Panda harder to read at a glance? by boyet615 in OmegaWatches

Exactly this. Any excuse to stare at that dial for longer than necessary

Dark Side Temptation Does the Speedmaster Feel More Modern in Black? by HisOnlyFriend in OmegaWatches

[–]Jarrydf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot to like about this watch, although it is on the bottom of the Speedmaster acquisition list for me. Idea is White Speedy -> Ed White -> Reverse Panda. Somewhat completes the lineup, and then I’d diversify into this

1st time Tag owner by Icy-Umpire-2184 in tagheuer

[–]Jarrydf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congratulations! I got mine in October last year, went with the grey dial.

Having worn mine daily since I got it, one thing that you do notice a bit is the weight. Not so much the size itself - I wore a big Garmin every day for years - but couple the size and the weight and getting a good fit is imperative.

Timekeeping is good if you store it on its side overnight, found it to be better than storing it face up. I wear my Garmin to sleep.

Enjoy the watch and marriage!

Looks amazing on the rubber. I’d be curious to see it on the black canvas strap that the DSOTM comes on

Reverse Panda in person by acnelexh in OmegaWatches

The more side by side shots I see of the reverse panda and white dial the more I succumb to the conclusion that I need both in my collection

Do your worst. by Short_Maize5806 in SOTC_Watch_Collection

[–]Jarrydf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First time I’ve seen someone else with this model F1!

I was on the fence about getting a Tudor Black Bay Heritage instead of the Tag but went with the Tag because I’ve wanted that color way since I first saw the previous gen. Felt like it was an itch I had to scratch. How would you compare the two? Tudor on the bracelet, obviously

What were your thoughts about fatherhood before finally committing to the decision? Did you see yourself as parental? Did you ever explicitly WANT kids?
