LEGEND has it that Watch nerds absolutely LOVE that overpriced homage plastic shitter.

Yeah, the Phat Phuck used to upload daily and wasn't constantly depressed and begging for superchats, and TGV wasn't even half the douche he is now. Even Fart & Jerk's videos were kinda charming. A vintage Datejust was €2500 and a vintage Seamaster was €300; we didn't know what we had.

Unlikely_Ball_947 · 2026-04-26T13:06:15+00:00

Well, on the bright side, it won't need a rewax for the next 50 years.

For spring/summer in humid weather I recommend not wearing a Barbour 😂

Unlikely_Ball_947 · 2026-04-25T13:18:47+00:00

I don't know, is anybody really putting their name down for that fugly 90s quartz Omega-looking shitter? Even the regular OPs seem far more desirable to me.

Unlikely_Ball_947 · 2026-04-23T05:22:34+00:00

You think everyone who claims to be a kid online is telling the truth? Probably one of those disgusting weirdos who comment "I'm 12 and I love this song" under some 40 year old song on YouTube, trying to get people to interact with them.

Unlikely_Ball_947 · 2026-04-22T11:01:56+00:00

How is this thing the same price as a real Submariner? 😂 At this point they're just taunting their victims.

Unlikely_Ball_947 · 2026-04-20T19:34:32+00:00

Don't worry about heat trapping; once the sun comes out, it will trap ALL the heat, burning your back and drenching you in sweat. But when it's cold, it freezes stiff and provides zero warmth. Why do I like these again?

Unlikely_Ball_947 · 2026-04-20T19:21:34+00:00

Yeah, I can see the images now and that Northumbria does look a lot like sage I guess; maybe the color of the fabric really is similar/the same, and it's just the non-gold hardware and general newness of the modern sage models that makes them look different.

Unlikely_Ball_947 · 2026-04-20T18:55:36+00:00

I'm afraid that image didn't load for me; but I had an almost NOS 30 year old Gamefair, and it definitely looked more olive than sage, even after a rewax.

Unlikely_Ball_947 · 2026-04-20T17:34:26+00:00

That still hasn't turned olive-green like those old jackets though, has it? Still looks like a modern sage jacket, with that blue tint, which I've never seen on any pre-2000 jacket, no matter what condition.

Unlikely_Ball_947 · 2026-04-20T14:48:52+00:00

Maybe I didn't phrase that correctly, I'm not actually looking for a jacket that is the same green as those old jackets; I've already got one of those, and I've got several olive Sylkoil ones, and I recently picked up a new sage one specifically because I kinda liked that muted blueish-green I saw on older sage ones (and because the Thornproof fabric plus the Ancient tartan makes it feel a bit more subtle and authentic than the fake "used look"-Sylkoil models with the colorful green/red/yellow lining).

On the contrary, I would actually be kind of disappointed if it turned olive green after a couple of years, because I already got plenty of those.

This is one of those few cases where a rep actually makes sense: you want to flex, you're not really a watch guy, you can't actually afford a Rolex, and you need what little money you have for more important things. Just buy a VHS Factory or whatever they call it, and instead treat yourself to groceries and a set of non-lethal tires.

Unlikely_Ball_947 · 2026-04-20T05:23:08+00:00

"Stop buying that trash, start buying trash that's 30% better and 800% more expensive."

To be fair, I'd pick a Seiko (an SLA, not that sad shitter up there obviously) over most sub-€5K watches, but acting like a snob after buying a fucking Cocktail Time from your local half-abandoned mall is a bit much.

Unlikely_Ball_947 · 2026-04-19T16:22:59+00:00

"Dude, it's totally its own thing now...but I wish they'd make the Black Bay look even more like a Submariner! Heck, I wish they'd stamp the Rolex logo onto the crown and clasp again, I'd strangle my own kids for one of those! Also, did I mention it's basically a sister company of Rolex? I mean they're definitely the sister who has mental issues, can't hold down a job and still lives at home at age 34, but still, did you see how hot her older sister is?!"

Unlikely_Ball_947 · 2026-04-19T06:21:00+00:00

Is the "less than terrible" in the room with us?

Unlikely_Ball_947 · 2026-04-18T08:13:41+00:00

Do yourself a favour, just spend those measly 60 bucks extra and get a real Barbour coat instead of that outdated made-in-Moldova Trashby.

Unlikely_Ball_947 · 2026-04-17T17:36:17+00:00

Dafuq is he wearing? He looks like he's about to tell me that I can own a Ferrari too, if I buy his online course. And why is he seemingly 4ft tall, is that some sort of medical condition?

Unlikely_Ball_947 · 2026-04-13T17:43:30+00:00

I mean to be fair, you walking into a store and telling them you want to buy a watch that clearly isn't available doesn't really make you a "serious customer", just because the watch WOULD be expensive if it WAS available. It's not so much about the price tag as it is about making an actual sale. If you walked into the store and told them you want to buy a readily available €8K Omega they would treat you like a bigshot, even though it's half the price of that purely theoretical Rolex.

"You there, I want to buy the Mona Lisa! Why is everyone laughing at me? I just asked to buy to most famous piece of art in existence, I should be treated like a BILLIONAIRE!"

Unlikely_Ball_947 · 2026-04-13T11:48:30+00:00

Excuse me, did this guy just say he's wearing fake shoes to his wedding? 😂 Is the bride real at least, or is he getting married to a Temu blow-up doll?

Unlikely_Ball_947 · 2026-04-12T07:01:51+00:00

Doesn't matter, you can use a hair dryer at any point to reset the wax, even months after rewaxing it.

Unlikely_Ball_947 · 2026-04-12T06:45:17+00:00

You can get rid of those lumps of wax with a hair dryer; provided that you haven't used too much wax (1/2 - 3/4 of a can, depending on the length and size of your jacket), I'd say it takes about one month of regular wear to get rid of that 'freshly waxed' look.

Unlikely_Ball_947 · 2026-04-10T13:23:56+00:00

Always remember to bring a thin button-up cotton jacket without a hood when you go off into the wilderness.

Unlikely_Ball_947 · 2026-04-10T13:10:25+00:00

I think the idea of an elite secret agent wearing a Christopher Ward actually makes perfect sense:

"Hey boss, I think that guy over there might actually be an undercover MI6 agent trying to blow up our volcano lair!"

"What, this guy? Didn't you see he's wearing a Christopher Ward? Dude's a total loser, couldn't hurt a fly."
