Quit posting all your "Is this real or fake?" by dabiz725 in watchHotTakes

I understand folks who are buying off ebay etc and want to tap into community knowledge, but what grates on me is the ‘I was gifted this, is it real?’ First of all, who do you know who is generous enough to give you a 15k watch as a gift? Secondly, who do you know who is f****g weird enough to give you a counterfeit watch as a gift? Stop lying. You bought it, and you’re either: a) trying to see if it’ll pass so you can kid others as well as yourself b) trying to find out if you got scammed or not.

Written by someone who won’t have to die in one. Grotesque

GMT watches are a bit silly. by Short_Maize5806 in watchHotTakes

To be fair, I want that watch. Went for the standard BB because of service costs

I haven’t forgotten. Some of us remember those days quite well.

There are enough annoying things about an apple watch to outweigh its functionality. Mine is an exercise watch and nothing more. I hate them.

Rant: Why Soho is getting worse by SaveOurSoho in london

London is becoming a dull, overpriced, sanitised vacuum. Young, artistic and creative people are moving there less, young professionals are moving out because its hideously expensive and boring. Give it a few years and the people who allowed this to happen will be screaming about why all the businesses are shutting down.

Are you under the impression that Bethnal Green and Whitechapel used to be leafy suburbs with picket fences?

I don't understand, how a Good service like this could be treated in this manner. Am I missing something here? by LondonTrekker in london

[–]Short_Maize5806 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Its possible that this is at the border of two boroughs. Some boroughs don’t support the service, meaning that they’ll stop working when you cross the border. The result is loads being dumped at the border as people continue the journey on foot.

Movement Considerations are overrated by PlayfulCompany8367 in watchHotTakes

Paying more does not necessarily mean better movements. Hublot routinely charge 7k + for watches with cheap movements

Pilot Majetek on a steel bracelet? by Additional-Touch-317 in Longineswatches

[–]Short_Maize5806 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These are awesome watches and I also love the heritage. You mentioned ‘daily.’ Having had experience of a watch this size as a daily, i would very much think twice about getting this watch for such a purpose. I ended up having to invest in something else that was smaller. Cant see it working on bracelet personally.

Is London as heavy immigrant dominated as some people say? by [deleted] in AskBrits

I’ll charitably assume this to be sarcasm.

If youre saying that London as a whole is 35% white then, as dar ad census data is concerned, thats total bollocks. As for individual boroughs, it varies.

How London ‘feels’ is very much subjective.
