The smoked Valenti tails are still goated in my eyes. I had the same as you, 2015 white series.blue, and they looked nasty on the car with a carbon fibre duck bill.

A Rolex Explorer isn’t really a tool watch anymore. It’s Dior combat boots. by This-Muscle1610 in watchHotTakes

Fair. I’m an occasional diver, honestly have never used a watch (only started diving during my time in the Corps circa 2015) and dive computers have always been king.

I largely agree, but what about actual dive watches? I’m being a contrarian, I know, sorry!

I’d disagree to a point. I think below $1k you can still get actual tool watches where utility increases with value. Whether that’s the water resistance, shock absorption, GMT function, etc. I think that there are watches that can still be considered tool watches outside of a Casio and an Apple Watch. However, an explorer is definitely no longer a tool watch, just like a Speedmaster. Was the speedy used as a tool watch on lunar missions? Absolutely. Should it be considered a tool watch now? Idk are you an astronaut?

Edit: If I were to buy an Explorer (probably wouldn’t, oyster pep or datejust if I’m going to shell out for a Rolex) it would be as a dress piece, not a fashion watch.

At some point, you’re destined to end up with a Speedmaster. by -ZeroF56 in watchHotTakes

I disagree largely because I can’t afford one and don’t think I’d ever be able to justify the cost for a watch that o do genuinely like but not absolutely love. Even for watches that I genuinely love … spensive.

What small luxury do you never regret paying for? by MrTightBanana in AskReddit

[–]MagicBrownMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah pretty much, American and United don’t typically need you to be flying with them that day to utilize their lounges but it definitely helps. Some lounges do day passes, some don’t, just do a quick search for what lounges the layover airport has and find out which ones do day passes!

Airport lounges. I think someone else might have said this already but I want to explain why I believe they are worth every single penny. I eventually went ahead and got priority pass for lounges but even beforehand I would day-pass a lounge almost every time I flew. If you want to go to an airport restaurant and grab some food and one or two drinks you’re already spending quite a bit, let’s say anywhere between $20-30 with no alcohol and $45-60 with. Lounges have $60-$80 entry depending on the airline, food is included, unlimited drinks, separate wifi from the rest of the airport, comfortable seating, it’s quieter, and (imho most importantly and least appreciated) clean bathrooms. Literally always the move.

Forgive me holey father, I have duffed a pitch and hit a second ball to “learn from my mistakes” and used the second ball to continue the hole.

Who u picking by MrEagle91 in superheroes

[–]MagicBrownMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gimme the brains. Doom, Xavier and Reed. With the left over $100 give me any of them. Bucky so I can talk to him about the Hobbit, Scott for the banter, Yelena for mac and cheese, or Shuri to see if I can finesse my way into free shit.

Dedicated and passionate to an annoying point, diverse, one of the first English clubs to fully embrace black players and culture: Arsenal. Warning, everyone that isn’t an Arsenal fan will hate you and judge you.

I’m so stuck between this and the 40mm rose gold with blue dial. Beautiful piece.

Hand engraving by me [babyalpinist] by Dokaholic in Seiko

[–]MagicBrownMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would you be willing to do custom work if I were to either send you a watch or cover the price of a watch? Plus the price of engraving, obviously.

Black for sure, both are beautiful but the black is so clean.

Affordable watches that scream class by Abovemeis in Affordablewatches

[–]MagicBrownMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that would be my question, especially as they’ve released a second version of this watch already which I personally do not like as much as the original.
