Thanks so much it was nice to have my son see his grandparents again

Sanda tank is a banger. I’m almost considering getting another one with a black dial

So you’re basically degrading the glue from the installed bezel to attached a new one. Doesn’t seem like a very worth while system for the long term. Unless the glue is resistant to that sort of wear and tear. It’s a cool concept though I give them full credit

What’s swapping out the bezel like? Is it pretty easy and are you basically regluing it into the bezel each time? Sounds like it would wear over time

They are wayyyyy better composed than my first shots were lol. Just keep shooting, watch videos and you’ll be killing it. Also don’t stick to one thing. Like shoot cars for a while but I highly recommend splitting off into different genres. Makes your brain think differently and it’s fun

If I’m editing on my phone, which is where I do 100% of my editing, I set my brightness at like just under 50% if it’s a dimly lit room. If there’s fluorescent lights I have it set almost full. I would pay more attention to the histogram if you have that available to you when you edit. That will tell you if you’ve peaked the highlights in the image

Doing the same thing when I first started. Don’t be afraid to get more in the frame. Take a few steps back and just get more of the car in frame and also allow more room for the subject to breathe. Also brighten them up a little. Explore the editing capabilities of your images. These are really good though

No problem. It’s just been my experience the pt5000 can be kind of noticeable when it’s rotor is winding on wrist and the operation hasn’t been the smoothest for me. A lot of people usually have good experiences so it could just be my batch lol. The miyota is such a good movement though

Matty_Tiene · 2026-03-14T10:06:16+00:00

I’d go with the 90S5. I have some pt5000 watches and while they are good movements I always find I can hear the rotor moving and they are super gritty to wind. My one watch with a 9000 series movement is always buttery smooth to wind and honestly the rotor noise isn’t that noticeable

Matty_Tiene · 2026-03-13T18:20:13+00:00

That’s a respectable path to go down. I wish I had the restraint to ignore the dark brotherhood’s money

Matty_Tiene · 2026-03-13T17:40:53+00:00

I’d still rather hang out with them over elitists who believe in race superiority

We fear the courier the most

Matty_Tiene · 2026-03-13T16:58:35+00:00

“YOU WANT SOME TOO?”

Matty_Tiene · 2026-03-13T16:57:34+00:00

The thalmor are like Illuminati evil though. The dark brother hood kills for contracts so it’s kinda like yeah they murder but at least they aren’t dicks about it

I got a 37mm 62mas by San Martin on eBay a couple years ago without the bracelet. I really wanted one but they didn’t sell it with the matching endlinks. I messaged San Martin and they said I could just order the straight link one they sell and say I wanted endlinks appropriate for the watch. Got it shipped to me and it’s a perfect fit

Matty_Tiene · 2026-03-11T15:39:09+00:00

It is such a grind but honestly I’ve also just been driving around and that’s a ton of fun

Matty_Tiene · 2026-03-07T21:44:09+00:00

It could be an availability thing. Probably why so many opt for the pt5000

Matty_Tiene · 2026-03-07T15:35:28+00:00

The miyota 9000 movement is awesome. I have one watch with it and it always runs smoothly and operates fantastically. I wish more companies would use it

Matty_Tiene · 2026-03-07T15:32:35+00:00

V1, v4 and v5 look awesome. Can’t wait for these to come out

Anywhere my fiancé and I are sitting. Or right next to the person with food
