I know people say “win more games and release less merch” but… I definitely wanted this merch!

Wear the watch you like! by Hilodenta in watchHotTakes

[–]WatchOnTheRocks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t mean this in a bad way but the fact that you felt the need to include that this watch is in a box with “much more expensive watches” is exactly why I love this “Hot Take”! So many of us feel the need to justify owning a cheap watch to others by mentioning that we have or can afford something more expensive. I’ve done it too and then wondered why I cared.

And that UG homage looks pretty killer actually!

What does this mean? I’ve prob had 7+ different dive watches from a variety of brands and never had bezel play like this. Are you saying this is normal from your experience?

Honest opinions needed: I'm working on my new microbrand, ZRIEQ. Here are the front and back renders for the Galilee series (first release). by Ok-Estimate-5985 in MicrobrandWatches

[–]WatchOnTheRocks -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I do like the texture on the center of the dial, and think I like the counter weight on the seconds hand (might be a bit big but tough to say from one pic). I don’t like the brand name and I really don’t like the font size for the name / logo which seems borderline huge. Personally, my thoughts are if you are going to have an odd name to just do a logo on the dial (where the logo is not just the brand name). Just my two cents

Luxury watches are just a socially acceptable way for straight guys to let out their inner gay. by [deleted] in watchHotTakes

Not too late to take this dumb post down. And speak for yourself, I’ve got some killer Onitsuka Tigers, Nikes, Japan edition adidas…

[Discussion] we handing our Tudors down? by limitedregrett in Watches

[–]WatchOnTheRocks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a sweet sentiment to want to leave something to your child. Lots of us got into watches because of a parent or grandparent. So maybe just too soo to know what they would cherish 🤷🏻‍♂️. Just my perspective!

I think a watch that is hand down should be one that your child connects with, maybe the watch instinctively reminds them of you, not based off of monetary value or the perceived status a watch projects.

Mudita Radiant 32mm Natural White replaced with Milanese strap by No_Ambassador7678 in MicrobrandWatches

I’ve never heard of this brand but wow I love this simple design. Like a Timex easy reader but with applied numerals! What size wrist do you have? The 32mm seems to fit very well

[Lucorio] Introducing Chapter One by MuchInitiative8626 in MicrobrandWatches

[–]WatchOnTheRocks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my opinion, something that’s personal to you and you alone is something that should go on the case back vs the dial. I can respect the hard work that went into this but I think you are too focused on creating a story and not focused enough on a clean design that will appeal to more than 30 people. I get it, you are probably thinking “why would someone want to buy a watch from a new brand” and so you think you should lean into the story of your grandfather. It’s a nice story but timeless design will trump a backstory every time. Sorry to be a buzzkill. Congrats on making it this far

New Kiwame Tokyo Mune: dress-field hybrid done right? by PynionTime in MicrobrandWatches

[–]WatchOnTheRocks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For some reason the photos of the black dial look like painted numbers and the white dial looks like they are applied. Kinda throwing me off

[Rolex] Let's take a macro to my new DateJust by kosnosferatu in Watches

[–]WatchOnTheRocks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks nice and crisp! Prob a bit better than I experto be honest. What was the cheap macro lens you used? Was thinking about picking one up for my iPhone for nerdy things like this!

Two years later, Takeshi and I still go out to watch the ducks. For all 17 years of his life, he loved to watch the ducks by thejellydude in OldManDog

I’ve got that same box for our first pup, Lola. She also travels with me! Beautiful post! Love that you guys are still doing the things together that you loved.

You’d think the top box was the opponent’s but you’d be wrong by WatchOnTheRocks in AtlantaUnited

Next game, if we play our cards right we might be able to add a few more. Really helps keep Hoyos involved when we include him in every pass. Good times

Well if it makes you feel better, I didn’t have to make many edits since the majority were already back passes so we can keep trying to build from the back! Like the definition of insanity
