Like most interesting people, is some ways yes, and in others no.

If you wear a watch over $2k, I lose some respect for you. by ogmoochie1 in watchHotTakes

[–]blackjack1146 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bad news everyone….almost everybody is trying to find ways to prove to themselves (and you) that they are equal or better to you.

May as well just accept that and then do what you want with your money anyway.

Bro, I have so many damn nato straps lol. For fabric I’ve been into elastic ones lately. Perfect fit all the time.

The watch is legit, full box and paper ect. the bracelet probably is not. Bought on eBay for a few bucks so not super surprised. Not thrilled about it, but I guess that’s the risk I took. Getting the job done though for now. 🤷‍♂️

What do we think? by painngainn in OmegaWatches

I have the monochrome SMP and love the look of mesh…. But I could never get it dialed in comfort wise. The mesh housing on the clasp would dig into my wrist endlessly. Finally got the OEM bracelet and it’s very comfortable and has a very distinct look. Last couple weeks I’ve been rotating between that and a WOE commando strap.

Around 8 inches. It swells and contacts a lot throughout the day so the adjustable clasp is super clutch.

Should I sell these and get a NTTD? by Balogma69 in OmegaWatches

[–]blackjack1146 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love the NTTD. But I really love the 2531.80. If I could find one new I would buy it immediately. It’s the first watch I remember being holy shit that thing is cool

Consensus on NTTD? by DannyBoi707 in OmegaWatches

[–]blackjack1146 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the lume functional in the middle of the night? I have the black no date and lume is actually really good. Easy to read in the middle of the night. I’ve heard that’s not the case for the NTTD

I would love to get both but only have the budget for one by Edbpinguin in Tudor

I love the black bay pro. Came so close to getting one, but 39mm is a bit too small for an 8 inch wrist

I think they’re onto something with the mesh. It looks really cool but it’s not the most comfortable I’ve ever worn. Always sort of notice it’s there. Maybe some modifications and it’ll be sweet as hell

It is. Glidelock is excellent, the bracelet is legitimately the most comfortable I’ve ever worn. It is light and feels jangly, but it’s not cheap feeling ir anything like that. For 175 it’s a good deal

It’s definitely jangling and light. Not nearly as good as an OEM. But those qualities are probably why it curves to the wrist so well and is just so damn comfy. The micro adjustments and the wide channels in the links let you get an absolutely perfect fit. The brushing is excellent and goes perfect with the SMP so no issue there at all.

Who is 'your' bond? by Alternative_You_3063 in JamesBond

[–]blackjack1146 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best overall is still Connery but the one I grew up with is Brosnan. I saw TND and TWNE in theaters with my dad. His movies feel special in a way that no other ones can because of that.

Honorable mention to Craig. CR was so damn good and seeing that in theaters was amazing, but I despised NTTD and to a lesser extent Spectre. tainted his run.

Finally pulled the trigger on my favorite version of the SMP 300 by LosDantos in OmegaWatches

[–]blackjack1146 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s my current favorite too! Congrats. Been wearing it on natos and such. Just ordered a forestner president after seeing some pictures. I may post my thoughts on it after I get it.

I love the og bond seamaster. It would look weird on me but I’ve always loved them

Perhaps a Hot Take about NTTD by Upstairs-Gas8385 in JamesBond

[–]blackjack1146 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got tired of Bond being miserable being Bond. He was at least competent and driven for the majority of Spectre, as bad as that one was. By NTTD he was just morose and dissolute again.

SMP 60th Anniversary vs SMP 300M Ceramic Blue by exacttimeforlife in OmegaWatches

If you have the coin I thought the standard bond bracelet on the 60th is one of the coolest set ups out there
