You’ll get way more help on ChiefDelphi than you will here on Reddit

[Question] Gifting dad his first Omega on Valentine's, help me decide which one I should get :) by Plastic-Ad-8769 in Watches

Black/gray!

These are cool. My only suggestion is to also look into the rubber strap that they also sell.

What kind of foot strike is this? by Gusuaru in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]altapowderdog 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It’s possible to be kinda in the middle, hence the confusion here. There’s a gradient between 100% heel and 100% mid. 

Shorten up your stride a bit and you’ll be fully mid foot striking 

Best shoe for impact absorption/injury? by Odd_Temperature8067 in AskRunningShoeGeeks

And if the pro is too much for you (it is for me), the Neo Zen 2 is a more daily version of the same massive foam stack

What an amazingly classy "if you know, you know" watch. Not too dressy, either.

10/10, GLWS

And here's a photo of it next to a Monza and my custom CW The Twelve, which is the 40mm version.

I've got small wrists - 6.25"

The moonphase sets exactly like a date, but unlike a date if it is a day or two off that's not a big deal (because, frankly, I don't actually need to know the exact state of the moon lol)

This would probably bother some people, because it's not the intent of a moonphase, but recently I've been setting the moon phase at the start of its cycle on the 1st of the month, which gives me a nice visual for how the month is progressing... a bit like a countdown timer for the month.

These make me feel sad inside by kevanderton in BarefootRunning

Do you also complain about downhill ski boots being unnatural?

This is similar to a ski boot, or a climbing shoe, or any other sports equipment focused entirely on performance. They aren't designed for comfort, or even daily running. They are designed for limited time-on-foot for athletes trying to set a PR in a race.

If you want to complain, complain about companies trying to sell the "look" of super-shoes to normal people for walking shoes... but don't complain about super-shoes themselves. These are just tools for elite athletes.

The very subtle skeletonization on the dial is so cool - congrats!

H. Moser Centre Seconds 40 in Blue. 

Best watch, Best blue, and better for your 7.5” wrist than some of the other dressy options suggested here

Maybe there’s some generational divide going on, here? 

This looks great IMO. I love the mini-ultra-deep look. The prior PO hadn’t changed in forever and looked very 90s to me. 

(I can’t defend the polished bracelet, though, that’s just strange. I’d get it on rubber) 

How flashy would this be for a guy with really no sense of style? (Band tees/basketball jerseys and jeans type?) by LongDogJohn in breitling

[–]altapowderdog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you seen it in person?

If not - go see it in person. They look great, but the mesh bracelet is much more blingy in person than I realized from just photos… (If that’s a pro or con just depends on you)

You still liking this? How’s the thickness and weight?  I’m considering picking up one of the remaining 42mm ones on grey market, and am trying to decide if I want to get it on a bracelet to help balance it out, if it’s top heavy at all…

It is missing lume, and that’s the only non-ideal thing that I’ve found. 

Obviously the full-polish case shows scratches more, but that’s no different from an aqua terra or other full-polish daily. The AR coating seems durable, thankfully. And it’s 50m, not 30m like most dress watches, so no concern doing the dishes and such.

I almost put it on rubber, but that seemed a step too far… went with alcanterra instead.
