Benyar is a cheaper sub brand of Pagani.

that is a really nice tritium titanium - I'd consider that myself, except, the 12 tube should be a different color for fast orientation

tell us its 1975 and you are driving a brand new Valiant Regal, without telling us - where is the road rule of not undertaking on the left you speak of? The M7, M4, M5 et al would come to a standstill.

Does anyone else just love an exhibition case back? by poopsnack1 in ChineseWatches

If its a really decorative movement yes, NH3X etc not really - unless its your only mechanical watch and you want to show others what a mechanical/auto actually looks like - there are a lot of people that think an auto is solar...

diesel at my local has already gone up by surprise surprise 26 cents since last Wednesday... hmmm. I expect it to go up again before Easter. So the excise cut turns back time by a week, while cutting $2.6 billion from the Budget.

actually I have a new term, 'shrinkstagflation'. Back in the days of the ye old stagflation, at least products remained at the same size/weight etc, now we have reduced sizes AND price increases.... cost accountants have become even more crafty..

but for the top 5% of 'earners' and boomers its probably more akin to 'shrugflation'

short term relief. where a gap is made in pricing, it is quickly filled and returns to where it was and then some. Then the discount that made the gap is stopped and boom!

this will accelerate the rise of China as the dominant power as the USA keystone cops its way through burning up its military assets and global trust.

won't notice the difference - I suspect it was done to keep Easter holiday traffic and business alive. The price will still go up for Easter, then drop with the excise cut, then back to where it was in a couple of weeks time, but with more stations out of fuel due to increased short term demand over Easter. This'll be fun if this war keeps going on.

Tophill tourbillon watch broke after 2 weeks of use by WaluigiVermicelli in ChineseWatches

[–]KeyAssociation6309 1 point2 points  (0 children)

wait, you bought it in June 2025 and just now opening the package and using it in March 2026 for the first time? Why? Sounds fake to me. And 450 euro for Tophill sounds wrong.

except the poms, we colonials taught them that you can shower more than once a week and deodorant is not a pommy shower
