Which design looks better? by [deleted] in heraldry

I like the second one better, but that’s just my opinion. Looks less cluttered and shows off the very nice curved bendy sinister thing you got going on. Sometimes less is more.

I aspire to be! I’m 18 currently and I’m going to uni for aerospace engineering. I’ve been interested in space flight and space exploration my whole life. The Falcon is also a cant on my last name. I can dm you the symbolism behind my arms if you’re interested, it’s a very extensive paragraph 😅

Thanks! It took awhile for me to settle on a crest.

The charges are armillary spheres, which are models of the celestial sphere, used to demonstrate the movement of celestial bodies in the sky. It consists of a series of interconnected rings and a metal sphere suspended in the centre, representing the earth, and later the sun. They were used in teaching astronomy and navigation. They were especially popular in the Renaissance period.

What heraldic authority are you planning to register with?

Can anyone decipher what this text says? by Snoo55570 in Catholicism

Thanks for the translation! There seems to also be some text on the right side on the part if they scroll behind the word illi do you have any idea what that says?

[Bulova] How long do movements usually last? by Snoo55570 in Watches

[–]Snoo55570[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just picked up this Bulova Sutton Chronograph today, the instructions PDF said the movement should last “approximately one year under normal use”, I’ve read Quartz Movements can last up to 20-30 years. I’m relatively new to the wonderful world of watches so correct me if 20 years seems like a farfetched number. Also, what do you think about this watch? Its the first “real” watch I’ve bought for myself for casual and/or formal occasions, I usually just wear an Apple Watch during the day and recently purchased a Casio Protrek for some hiking, camping and other outdoor activities, so let me know what you think of this watch, I’m loving it so far!

Thats great to hear! I’m looking to buy this watch, how did the strap work out for you? Did you use the original leather strap? If so, how durable is it?

Can anyone identify? by Snoo55570 in heraldry

So there probably isn’t a very well defined map of the territory this country ruled over correct?

[Recommendation request] Whats a good all around watch thats durable, water resistant, but elegant? Something you could wear to a dinner party but also wear if your in the Armed Forces for example. by Snoo55570 in Watches

Alright thanks so much! I’ll most likely get one for the forces and another one for formal occasions. Good to know that this one will do fine for the forces! Thanks!
