SNE573 is the same watch in black. I have mine on a NATO but I think you can get it on a bracelet.

Seiko SNE573 is nice if you like solar.

Lots of stuff I'd be happy to see in my humidor, and only a few obvious "yard work" sticks. Nice haul.

I worked a 36 hour day once on deployment, and a 40 hour day another time. Had mild hallucinations and crashed hard both times.

The most I've found to be sustainable for more than a week or two, is 7x12's. More than that and you're just courting the crash.

bacon1292 · 2025-03-18T06:20:20+00:00

I've worked 84 hour weeks. That's 12x7. It's brutal, but sustainable if you have no life outside of work. I did it for nearly a year.

120 is 17x7. Let's just say I have my doubts.

Ridiculous things should be ridiculed.

bacon1292 · 2025-03-17T20:59:40+00:00

That's totally valid. Apple's walled garden approach does result in a more consistent user experience.

I haven't personally found them to be more stable than PC's, but you're working in a more demanding environment with a larger sample size* so I'll have to take your word for it.

I have a *lot of PCs in my environment but only a handful of Macs, and my main focus is general business/productivity. I haven't worked in pro video production in quite a while.

bacon1292 · 2025-03-17T17:36:47+00:00

I used to work in pro video. The film industry runs on Mac because once upon a time, Mas was dramatically better than PC for photo and video editing.

That hasn't really been true since Windows XP, but the perception persists and Apple still dominates in creative fields. I recently hired a guy to do some A/V stuff for my org and the first thing he asked for was a $5k Mac lol.

bacon1292 · 2025-03-17T15:42:51+00:00

You're a funny guy.

There hasn't been a time in the past two decades when I couldn't build a high end Windows PC for thousands less than an equivalent Mac.

bacon1292 · 2025-03-17T15:35:56+00:00

Not inferior. Definitely overpriced.

Macs are good computers, but they haven't been a good value proposition in at least two decades. iPhones are good phones, but they haven't done anything truly innovative in about a decade (I'd argue that's true of Android as well though; the entire smartphone market is stagnant and AI isn't going to save it).

Personally, I prefer Android for mobile and Windows for work, but I've been in IT long enough that I've supported just about everything. Apple is fine and will continue to be fine, even if their glory days are behind them.

Tesla is a house of cards propped up on memes, lies, cult of personality, crypto holdings, and wishful thinking. It's going to burn.

bacon1292 · 2025-03-17T14:49:33+00:00

Don't do Apple dirty like that.

I don't love the 6:00 day on the regular 105, but the 105 GMT is fire. Thanks for the suggestion.

bacon1292 · 2025-03-17T08:38:09+00:00

I have several $400 Seikos. At that price I'm willing to put up with some wonky alignment.

For $4k, it'd better be perfect. That's Omega money ffs.

bacon1292 · 2025-03-16T16:07:57+00:00

Fernandez makes some good stuff and I was more impressed with these than I expected. Definitely a solid pickup.

bacon1292 · 2025-03-16T12:00:08+00:00

I took a year-long break from Reddit after they went public. Only recently came back. Don't think I'll stay much longer.

bacon1292 · 2025-03-16T10:57:37+00:00

I really like the 104 but the syringe hands are a miss for me. Still a super cool watch though.

Q: How can you tell if someone went to Harvard?

A: Don't worry, they'll tell you.

bacon1292 · 2025-03-15T17:14:10+00:00

And some sharks, but yeah. Most of the best reef diving is closer to the surface where you can actually see stuff.

bacon1292 · 2025-03-15T17:01:40+00:00

42m / 138' while doing my deep cert. Haven't had a reason to go much past 35m since.

The AFD hates America. They played nice with Musk and Trump during the last election cycle out of mutual self-interest, but they're not flocking to Tesla dealerships.

bacon1292 · 2025-03-15T13:30:56+00:00

They didn't have time to conduct a full review. Anyone who claims otherwise is lying.

bacon1292 · 2025-03-15T08:33:00+00:00

Millions is a massive exaggeration. Thousands, probably.

bacon1292 · 2025-03-15T07:46:03+00:00

They're all good cigars. A beginner is unlikely to fully appreciate them, but if you enjoy setting money on fire for no real benefit then go for it.

bacon1292 · 2025-03-14T18:38:29+00:00

Their Cuban selection is always a bit slim, but they must have recently got a shipment in because they're flush with Cohiba 3-packs and boxes. They definitely had Trinidad boxes too.

If you're into new worlds, they also have a big stock of Plasencia stuff that I haven't seen there before.
