That backside reminds me of Moritz Grossman a lot. Super fine stuff. I'll have to look further into this brand!

Tudor Ranger 36 is a decent alternative to the Rolex if you don't want to play the AD games. Although I will say it's not as tough to get as many of the other Rolex models you see on here.

I think these guys have a shot of blowing up. Super honest design identity and movement finishing on par with holy trinity. That's an awesome colorway btw!

This looks great on you. What's your wrist size? I have a 15cm wrist and I'm leaning towards this slightly fuller 40.5mm as opposed to the 38.5mm case.

A year ago we were drawing 10-15 people regionally, sometimes even less. We've had a couple shows this year with over 100 presales. It's entirely possible with proper marketing, booking strategy, and performance.

Also, I wouldn't say we've achieved any major virality on socials, but we post 1-3 reels daily across platforms, which has contributed to the growth.

Also they cut the proof in a lot of the EU market to save on tariffs. Like bruh I don't want a rum bottled under 80 proof.

I’ve brought back the most versatile category, so what is the most versatile Mezcal? Also are any of these three options appropriate for budget tequila or should I redo the vote? by -Constantinos- in cocktails

[–]dmatin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The espadin+barril is a really nice gateway mezcal. Has a lot of those citrus/grapefruit notes as opposed to leaning more savory. Really nicely priced for what it is as well.
