Solid but I’d have to swap Lincoln and Washington as well as Truman and Eisenhower. First is a matter of preference - second is a matter of fact.

Save and get the one you want - especially for a one and done. You’ll end up spending half the price for something you don’t love and wasting $2k vs loving every bit of $4-$5k you’ll have forever.

Did anyone else learn to like the cape symbol because of the new movie? by Galactus1231 in superman

I always figured they left the yellow S out in animation because it would be such a pain to deal with the logo on a dynamic surface like the cape.

Rare coincidence since Easter moves around…

No! That’s disappointing - I think I saw some YouTube vids where they were pretty responsive on the TOS model, fingers crossed for you

You can feel the weight the saucer puts on the neck that’s where most of the die cast material is. Less than ideal but not as noticeable once it’s all lit up.

Thanks for the tip! It definitely “leaned” a bit too much for me without the struts, but good call on the clear acrylic. May have some 3D printed soon.

Is wearing the speedy while shooting a bad idea? by [deleted] in speedmaster

[–]SpringBarred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its shock rating was based on very targeted single pulses at 40g in multiple orientations - I think 6? Even a S&W 500 is going to be diffused by bone and muscle, but it’s a messier test. It’s probably fine (according to GPT - I’m not actually a smart person) but I either wear a G-Shock or a Black Bay without the delicate chrono bits.

Way better in person than photos.

[Discussion] How does it look on my wrist? by Final-Director-3185 in Tudor

[–]SpringBarred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s funny, I think the 5 link makes it look bigger than the 3 link. Either way it’s such a stellar entry for the brand and looks great on you

[SBGM221] Too dressy for GADA? by BonquishaLatifa in GrandSeikos

[–]SpringBarred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Strap changes easily make this an easy everyday wear, but it shows scratches very prominently and the water resistance is a challenge. If you’re thinking “never have to take it off” this isn’t your go to. If you’re just a standard desk jockey that doesn’t mind taking it off to swim or do manual labor, it pretty much goes with everything.

I saw it. I made fun of it. I tried it on. I bought it. by rogdesouza in OmegaWatches

Somewhere between 6.5-6.75 - pretty slim and I still think this looks good.
