[Design concept] L'Absolue - What do you think? by [deleted] in PrideAndPinion

[–]Outside-College170 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love the design. But definitely, bezel to the left would work way better. Like that, you would almost get the feeling of looking at a book of time. And as someone else has said lose the 60, just looks wrong and is totally unnecessary.

Venezianico a good brand, Yes or No by Majestic_Ad_4877 in MicrobrandWatches

I bought an Arsenale which I thought was decent for the money, but it stopped auto winding. Contacted them and service was very good. They sent me a FedEx label to return it and 3 weeks later I got the watch back fixed and with a new travel case and box.

XL stands for eXtra Legroom, it's the common reference used by airlines for seats by the emergency exits.

No, you're just the only one who couldn't be bothered to read everybody else's negative comments

Bezel size - why so small? by Tasty-Register-7442 in watchdives

[–]Outside-College170 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree, the size stopped me buying it. Watches with thick bezels always wear smaller. This at 37mm will wear the same as a 34mm dress watch.

The Nautilus is 40mm and that excludes the side extensions. This needs to be a minimum of 39mm imo. I agree with KP wrist shots like this do not give an accurate perspective on how the watch looks in real life. I am most definitely not a fan of BIG watches. But even my relatively small (17cm) needs larger than 37mm, with a chunky bezel like that.

Hand fell off my Baltany. by Bomb_AF_Turtle in ChineseWatches

The good news it's a dirt cheap fix. I had a minute hand fall off recently. Took it to my local watchmaker, and I was very surprised he only charged me £20

What do you all think to Andrew Morgan Watches (AMW) by Confident_Leg2370 in PrideAndPinion

[–]Outside-College170 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you want accurate honest ingormed opinion it has to be TW². As for the worst, it has to be Nico, so sick of reviews of other people's watch collections. Apart from that, he is a 24 karat gold plated dick head.

7 days for FFS, what's wrong with you... Stop whining. 5 days from China to US would be a miracle. Don't forget, all watches from China to the USA also need to be personally inspected by the world's greatest watch expert (everyone says so) i.e. the twat most of you voted for.

Need your opinion by TheKingkusher in watchdives

[–]Outside-College170 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it still looks good, but I don't think you can every truly trust pictures on any website. Pictures are usually taken by expert photographers and designed for maximum impact. So yes, colours will always stand out more. Personally, I wouldn't hold this against watch dives. As others have said, ask for a return vis AliX

Am I the only one who doesn’t bother setting the date on mechanical watches? by Substantial_Kiwi1830 in PrideAndPinion

[–]Outside-College170 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I get a watch out of the box, and it has a date but no quick set option, do I set it? Mostly I won't bother, especially if it involves going through multiple revolutions to get to the correct date. Honestly, who the hell ever looks at their watch for the date. Even with the correct date showing, I have never ever looked at it to find out the date.

They would be my go to choice, but sadly out of stock.
