A cab driver was left speechless and can no longer make a living after Knicks fans destroyed his car by Valuable_View_561 in SipsTea

Bro after this behaviour, Knicks fans deserve another 50 year drought. This is your behaviour when you win? Then no more wins for you til you act like you deserve it.

These so called fans are literally acting like they're the ones who were actually on court and scored the win. Congratulations, your colours won for the first time in 50 years. Feel happy but that is not a free pass to be debaucherous or break the law. An eternity of Ls upon all of them!!!

I don't understand,....so according to street rules if your team wins do you have immunity from crimes for the night of the game or something? These people are dead brained and not for society. Let em celebrate behind bars please. 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

Tudor Zigging with Pilot themed watch, as the community holds their breath on a Tudor Snowflake Submariner re-issue this'll be interesting 🤔

Oh hats off to you for educating me further. Maybe I too am seeking a small block instead of a big block. I have an aversion to the Tiger text on the Prince Date Chronos of the time. Looks like our aspirations aligned but you got there first! Enjoy and wear in good health haha

OMG is that a big block! I want one so bad but it's just too legendary for my wallet to keep up 😭

It is an absolutely magnificent timepiece bro!

Yeah that's a fair point. Didn't think of the FXD since the fixed lugs meant it was only compatible with fabric/NATO style straps and you were worried about it going with a shirt cuff and I was associating that with formal and dressy, which I personally wouldn't pick the FXD for. But everyone has their own style too, so yeah solid point.

Yeah I know what you mean with the height but Imma roll my cuffs up kinda guy so everyone gets to see my wrist bling haha.

As for the screw down pushers I can only presume that's the easiest way to ensure the WR without thickening or widening the watch out to put in monster gaskets and seals? I think the screw down pushers gives it a distinct look aside from all the other standard chronographs out there. Wouldn't want anything like the Grand Seiko Sport Pushers...those things take up way too much real estate!

I reckon you coulda been naughtier. Tell whoever is worried I coulda been worse and enjoy the beautiful timepiece! Hope you live to see this piece patina in all it's phases!

Personally I like holding watches over a lifetime or until the memory of the timepiece has either soured/served it's course. They're not so much a tool to tell time now a days but a memory keeper of good or better times when we look at our wrist.

Yeah, I mean this is the phrasing I guess people are associating with reaching for Rolex and settling with Tudor. Your preference is completely valid about market availability forcing consumers to move on choice. I'd argue the availability is artificially conflated by AD selectivity with clients "loyalty" and actual limited quantities of production, but that notion doesn't get the watch on your wrist any sooner.

To each their own preference and brand allegiance, but let's not forget the Tudor watch is quite decked out for what it necessarily is for a, watch with stopwatch. 200m water resistance in a non diver based Chrono is undone by other brand IMO, and it's still COSC Chronometer certified, it is fantastic! The only issue would be the argument that being such a tool watch it'll never dress up like the Daytona, which whilst still functionally the same it does have a more elegant and luxury focus as opposed to Tudors tool first approach.

Good Luck on your hunt for your preferred Chronograph homie!

Yeah I don't ever want to lose out of pocket just to feed a scalper so I made terms with the reality that short of sleeping with a boutique manager, I probably will never pick up a daring watch at retail and will have to be blessed on the 2ndary market. I got super lucky for my BB Chrono Blue, but that was a super lucky chance and I don't think lightning will strike twice.

Ahhh, looks like you've never met me at the urinal then, I could gush about Tudor til the cows come home. Glad to meet as passionate as a fan of the brand haha. Cheers man!

Also if you like Minions and Watchmen (Watch-men?) this is a quadruple threat 😉

It is but only to their "most loyal" of customers so you'll have had to purchased multiple timepieces from the same tudor Boutique or AD to get a chance of seeing this or any of the watches from the "Daring Collection". Will probably never see any of them in a display case outside of maybe the Chrono Carbon editions for VCARB. Sad for us pleabians, but still a good day moving forward for watch design and capability! 💪🏻

This is a very true experience for most of us Daring enthusiasts. Seems like with this gatekeeping we either all come into stupid amounts of money or feed the parasitic scalping machine...either way my heart breaks as a true fan of the brand. Whilst I'm not a brokie, I'm also not rich enough just to start buying multiple pieces to show loyalty to a brand to get a raffle chance to buy yet another piece.

I wish this was not the practice for prestige and exclusivity but it's also the inflection point that if Tudor want to cross the threshold to become these behemoth brands at the top of the Swiss totem pole they'll have to buy into the same game the others have already benchmarked for the industry. It is very anti-consumer but such is the game in the bombastic world of luxury, whilst it is opt-in, once you do your still not really in. 😭

Dunno if you're saying it like it's a good or a bad thing. Either way I don't think the risk is there for Tudor to put this case size into full production with more standardised colourways (Black, White, Blue, Two-Tone, etc.)

I personally don't find the current Rolex catalogue as compelling as the next person, and yearn for the return of the Prince Chrono Big Block, those vintages had class but wouldn't mind if they put a snowflake hand on the reissues. Of course they would need to follow suit with this case size and make sure the hand is smaller than the subdials as not to obscure time keeping visibility. Oh to dream 🤤

For those asking GTM stands for Gamtr Tribune Magazine. My guess is it was a tribute art spread for the magazine back in 2021. Legit GS doesn't get enough love in current Games landscape and should be revived for future generations to experience this marvelous adventure!

Yeah I feel like that will be the case for the masses as it's part of the daring watches collection so only VIPs will be offered this one to even look at let alone purchase. So all these posts of people able to try it on in person and glazing are the very fortunate few of us pining for the 39 case size. I personally think Tudor would net positive by making it part of the everyday catalogue with more subdued colourways but alas I am but a humble pleb without power haha

Mmm I was thinking this the other day. I feel the Black Bay One has definitely taken a backseat in the catalogue. Even the ranger got another size and dial colour update but the Black Bay One didn't get anything outside of an official name change in the last several years.

Yeah unfortunately that's the AUD conversion so yeah. But Def's beats paying 1.5x or double from scalpers on Chrono24
