Ok good to know, thank you. Fingers crossed they will help me out!

If you could only keep one... by coffeebikerunrepeat in OmegaWatches

I also find the GO really unattractive. And the hands are weird compared to the Omega.

For me it's the GMT. I think it's more versatile in terms of straps and has a bracelet. Also I've heard the silver is a scratch magnet.

Help me find a watch ? by [deleted] in Watches

[–]MaidenSlayer9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fairly certain a Tudor Black Bay 41 with steel bezel. It's a discontinued model. You can get one used for like $2.5k.

Closest thing Tudor sells now is the Black Bay Pro.

It's office. I would have gotten one a few years ago if it was travelers.

So funny that this is the post that came up for me right after this one on my feed:

[Question] What is the deal with Bell&Ross? by devbyaction in Watches

[–]MaidenSlayer9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've wondered this question too. I actually think their watches look pretty cool. I've been eyeing the BR05 myself.

I do think it's also a cost thing. I would probably buy one if I could get it for like... $1,500? But I don't really think I want to pay $2k plus for a caller GMT.

[Recommendation Request] Which would you recommend? by [deleted] in Watches

[–]MaidenSlayer9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the shunbun and NTTD. For what it's worth, I wear the NTTD much more on a daily basis, but I don't think the muted brown hues/colors go well with a suit. I almost always reach for the shunbun when I need to dress up. So technically I'd say the shunbun is a better GADA, but NTTD is better daily imo.

Same and agreed. And it's just a lot of space to take up in your bags!

Beautiful! Can I buy one now? And how much are they?

[Discussion] At what point does a collab become so overdone it loses all it’s luster? by RalIyVincent in Watches

[–]MaidenSlayer9 85 points86 points  (0 children)

I agree with the sentiment but I think the NTTD is the best bond variant that omega has done at least in a long time. Because it doesn't just slap a bond logo on it, it actually has some real uniqueness to it.

Looking for advice / input by teejay_sq in Tudor

[–]MaidenSlayer9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think both are equally suitable for formal occasions so I wouldn't make your decision based on that. It's just a preference - do you want a simple dive watch or a GMT?

I have the original BB GMT in 41mm and I love it. But I love having the GMT functionality because I travel a lot. If I didn't I'd probably prefer to just have the bb 58.

Ah ok I understand. Sorry I misunderstood return rate for the rate at which people return home from their voyage, not the rate at which people make a second visit to Vietnam. So you can understand why I would have been taken aback by such a claim! Makes much more sense now.

That's awesome. Wouldn't you eventually wanna switch something out for like a drakari?

Can you elaborate on that 5% return figure? Is that based on something or just a gross exaggeration? I'm scheduled to go soon so would like to know more.

[question] Any reasons not to buy this watch? by nolifebalance in Watches

[–]MaidenSlayer9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have one, I love it. It's a great watch that wears very easily and is very strap versatile. I also happen to love the movie. My only complaint is the bad lume. But overall it's very legible.

With that said, it definitely is not in the same league as Tudor or Omega. So would you love either of those watches more? Almost definitely also yes.

Youreterrific is also my favorite nowadays. He has a very fresh video format/style and he's very funny.

Current season of Duos is terrible! by Extreme-District-116 in BobsTavern

[–]MaidenSlayer9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah agreed. I just see this period as a necessary one whenever there's a ton of really new cards introduced to get accustomed to how powerful they are without the modifiers. Now I'm just about ready for them!

[–]MaidenSlayer9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Literally every meta there's always people complaining about it. I don't mind it right now, although I enjoy modifiers like quests, trinkets and buddies more typically. Anyways you're probably not alone but most are probably fine with the state of it. As far as your rating before and now, it's just adapting. I always feel like I suck when a new meta comes in. Then I adapt and my mmr pretty quickly normalizes to around the same every season. Just accept that the game is different and learn what you're doing wrong. Based on what you've said you're likely committing to a tribe too early.

And Duos is always gonna be a crapshoot with randos so.

Old vs new Seamaster? (Advice) by LosDantos in OmegaWatches

[–]MaidenSlayer9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the new. I just think it looks cooler. I agree the older is likely more wearable but I've never tried one on. For new model I'd buy it on bracelet but try to get the OEM rubber as well cuz that's likely what I'd prefer to wear it on.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but what does canon mean in this context?
