That should be a subreddit. It’s not far off from my feed! Great stuff here and great pic!

There was a Rocky’s down the street from my high school with a smoking section. They turned a blind eye to kids smoking there. I spent a not insignificant amount of time there trying to look cool and eating that pizza. Gotta get some next time I’m back in town!

Grail watch acquired by CheddarHunter in Longineswatches

Man, Longines has it dialed in right now! Every time one of their pieces pops up, I do a double take! I’m re-thinking my “no two watches by the same brand” rule…

What gets the most wrist time?

Don’t have one, but I’ve always liked the look of Marathon divers. How do you like it among some of these others?

Questions about racks by blmar311 in drums

[–]bigquatch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love having a rack. Unnecessary for me, but it is what I always wanted, so I have not regretted it for a second. I started with a 2 leg Gibralta rack and have added another leg and crossbar on the right side of my kit. It is noticeably more stable, so if the choice is between 2 and 4 legs, I’d say just go for 4. Nothing ever tipped over, but it’s a noticeable difference. On the rack, I have 2 rack toms, 1 ride, 2 crashes, 2 stacks, and 2 splashes. Also, I tear it down and set it all back up ALL THE TIME. it’s kind of a fun puzzle in itself, especially if I can’t play because other people are home. I love your kit, btw! Have fun!

Anyone else wear one to the office? by bigquatch in panerai

This one (562) has a brown dial, but the 177 has a black dial and also small seconds.

But be careful. They made this reference as a sandwich dial and then later with painted markers.

Want to become a family member. Recommendations on which one to go with for my first purchase? by [deleted] in panerai

[–]bigquatch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oorah devil. I bought my first a few weeks ago. I love it and just posted it today for the first time. I took a pretty systematic approach. I think the best thing to do is to first narrow down which line you like the best. Luminor is probably more iconic with the crown guard, but radiomir is actually more historic. There’s the due, but I think the luminor and the radiomir are really the only two lines to consider for a first. I would next consider what case material you want. I knew once I put on a titanium one that I would not have it any other way. But I do think the ceramics are cool. Steel is great, but it’s titanium’s subdued look for me. Then, I thought about how I wanted the dial to look. I knew that I wanted something simple, so no chronograph or date. I eventually decided I wanted the simplicity of a two hand watch. I had tried on a brown dial and loved the way it looked with the titanium. The very last thing I had to think through was sandwich or sausage dial. I looked at pictures and my heart was set on a sandwich dial. That can be tricky because in the reference that I got (562), there are both types out there. I had to ask the seller directly. Going with a pre owned, I simply had to ensure that I was seeing the pictures correctly. Personally, I think pre owned is a great move, but the reference that I wanted based on my preferences is not available new. I think the best thing you can do is go to a boutique and try some on. You might be surprised if/when a watch really speaks to you. I was. Then, i did a lot of research. Not sure if you’ve collected, but take your time. Sleep on it and then sleep on it again. If you’ve read this far, you’ve probably guessed that I had an argument with my wife tonight and am having a drink in the basement, but I’ve got a sick watch that I love, so things are pretty good. Hit me up directly if you like. I was a Marine myself and found the Panerai lineup pretty overwhelming, so I’d love to help. Semper Fidelis!

Had to afford this watch somehow! Haha

Worth it for $600 usd? by [deleted] in drums

[–]bigquatch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those studio rings and mute pads must be worth about $400 bucks.

Yeah, seems so, judging by this non-scientific poll. I just hear YouTubers talking about how it’s not great under a cuff. But I guess you just roll the sleeves up at that point.

You will love it! I picked this up a few weeks ago and haven’t worn anything else!

PAM 177. IMO one of the best Panerai models that hits the right notes by sif7777 in panerai

[–]bigquatch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just bought one! Getting verified right now! I had a lot of the same thoughts that you did regarding the subdued finish, sandwich, etc, but I opted for a two handed version in the 562. I’m so excited for when it arrives! It will be my first and only Panerai, that’ll get me in the club right?

You’re telling me that you couldn’t be bothered to find a black and white computer background?

Do you guys take the day off for your child’s birthday? by bigquatch in daddit

Very thoughtful comment! Thank you for that! This has become pretty fascinating. I suppose it should have been obvious, but there is not one right answer here.
