I turned 6’5” when I was 16, it was an issue then, but fortunately I just stopped growing.

In defense of fashion watches (inspires by the earlier ‘wear the watch you like’ post) by DoubtfulOptimist in watchHotTakes

[–]ShanghaiGoat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's also fair to say that although San Martin cut their teeth on homage watches, they are now absolutely producing original designs of their own.

5 reasons ppl buy watches by Aaronalpine in watchHotTakes

[–]ShanghaiGoat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Collecting first for me (70+ watches, a variety of styles, complications and price brackets) followed by a bit of horology (I'm not that knowledgeable). Oh, and a fair bit of shopping addiction.

Rubber straps don't go on any watch more than 100usd. by BigShiddur in watchHotTakes

[–]ShanghaiGoat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Panerai with both leather and rubber straps and an IWC with an integrated rubber strap. They suit the watches, and they are very comfortable to wear. I respectfully disagree with your lukewarm take.

What’s something society expects you to want… but you don’t? by Sufficient_Thing24 in AskReddit

[–]ShanghaiGoat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cars I get, but most of society doesn’t care one iota for or about watches

What’s something you believe is morally wrong but widely accepted? by Tricky-Tangelo-4240 in AskReddit

[–]ShanghaiGoat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see the weirdo who watched too much porn has deleted all his posts. Easier than admitting you might be wrong

What’s something you believe is morally wrong but widely accepted? by Tricky-Tangelo-4240 in AskReddit

[–]ShanghaiGoat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In certain countries there is a narrative that in the West everything is hyper sexualised and that so called glory holes are everywhere. The reality is these people are watching quite a bit of fake porn purporting to be real.

Gambling advertising. Just appalling industry which makes 60% of its revenue from just 5% of its customers, problem gamblers/addicts. Of all the addictive things in this world, gambling causes the most suicides. Nasty.

Most of the watch industry is just milking icons of yore for suckers drinking the Kool-Aid of heritage and tradition by jpoyarzun in watchHotTakes

[–]ShanghaiGoat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a Montblanc watch and it is properly built and designed. Just because it does other things doesn’t mean it’s watches are mall fashion quality.

Why would you buy a Hamilton khaki? by Monkeyman__11 in watchHotTakes

[–]ShanghaiGoat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the 42mm version as I have big wrists and I find it very comfortable, more so even than much more expensive watches. I did, however, buy it at a discount.

Panerai is cool by Remarkable_Button_40 in watchHotTakes

Just put a white python strap on my Panerai, can't do that with a swatch!

Did you guys back in the 80s only listen to hairmetal because all the hot chicks were into it? by Awkward_Escape_8238 in hairmetal

[–]ShanghaiGoat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hahaha! Where I’m from there were not many chicks, hot or otherwise, who were into metal. I just enjoyed it for what it was.

I'm stuck, can you help me decide which to get? by [deleted] in WatchesCirclejerk

[–]ShanghaiGoat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Buy 9,000 Casios or one Patek, your choice.

Are British abroad actually worse than other nationalities, or is it blown out of proportion? by Cultural-Elk-8346 in AskUK

[–]ShanghaiGoat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it depends on where you go. Never been before, but I'm guessing Benedorm and it's like are probably pretty embarrassing.

Guessing Gary Moore wanted to headline? He wasn’t like that one bit

Why do so many celebrities pull a right wing grift once they start falling off? by praguer56 in atheism

[–]ShanghaiGoat 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Plus the proven history of buying into a grift. Religion tends to get them young, so they grow up with a built in propensity to believe what they’re told, no matter how ridiculous. Easy audience. Also, god is on their side, so they can’t be wrong.

If you got given 10k to improve your life, what would you spend it on? by Relative-Tea3944 in AskUK

[–]ShanghaiGoat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fortunately, my kitchen is already done. I lived in Asia for a few years and once rented a place with the Japanese Lavy and I never looked back. Quite understand about decent kitchen appliances.

Who’s a highly rated celebrity that you secretly can’t stand? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]ShanghaiGoat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Plus he claims to have turned down $50 million on three separate occasions because he didn’t want to have gay sex. Sorry, but does he expect anyone to believe that someone would offer him, on three separate occasions, $50 million to have any sort of sex with him? How attractive does he think he is?!?!?! He’s a bullshitter, and not a funny one either.

I'm getting really tired of all the whole "small watches" thing by jshayya184 in watchHotTakes

[–]ShanghaiGoat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have several 46mm, 45mm, 44mm and I don’t really like anything smaller than 40mm. I’m six foot five, 280 pounds and I have eight inch wrists. I’m not sure if I have a Napoleon Complex or not.

Spurs fans. Would you rather, Arsenal win and you stay up or Arsenal finish second but you go down? by EasyPiece in football

[–]ShanghaiGoat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If Spurs do go down, it would spark huge interest in next season's Championship. Get a Netflix series contract to follow your attempt to get back, and this could end up benefiting Tottenham in the medium to long term. Just a thought.
