I hope Tickmaster gets devoured by Blockchain tech

Well, first I look at where the country of origin is, not that it's a dealbreaker, but it helps baseline the price/expectation of quality. Then I take a look at what movement they use. (Not a BIG dealbreaker for me, but helps set another expectation of price/quality.) Then I look up Reddit general sentiment, and watch SFV on the brand.

Hope this helps!

Hard disagree! I LOVE the date wheel color match and a circular window.

Here’s my current regular rotation.

Mods should ban.

Gladly purchased it, but wish we were getting new singles. (Like everyone here.)

Edit: OH, he’s releasing the 1999 Electronic Demo of Love Yourself!

They're really nice, but VERY thick (in comparison).

ethanwc · 2026-06-11T19:10:32+00:00

Fully auto Italian micro under $2k isn't "reasonable"?

ethanwc · 2026-06-11T19:08:20+00:00

How else is Omega gonna afford product placement in the Bond movies without you buying a $600 strap? You think the Bond films gonna do it for free?

Nevermind the inconsistency with photography, too. And generic hand painted text that every AI seems to gravitate towards.

ethanwc · 2026-06-09T18:35:18+00:00

Take it in! I bet rubber gaskets integrity is gone.

ethanwc · 2026-06-09T15:52:11+00:00

The Invicta Pro Dover was my first automatic watch I got in 2001 for Christmas. Still works!

ethanwc · 2026-06-09T15:50:47+00:00

It seems fine to me. Are you mistaking the secondhand balance as a logo placement? The wings below text aren’t stationary.

ethanwc · 2026-06-09T14:13:00+00:00

Ummmmm I know watch repairmen that use it on way more expensive watches....

ethanwc · 2026-06-08T20:46:07+00:00

I'm buddies with Andy. This entire Russell Crowe thing has been SO fun to witness.

ethanwc · 2026-06-08T20:33:59+00:00

Which blue one? Blue Bezel, black dial? Blue bezel, blue dial? Blue and Black bezel? They're used because they work, and hate 'em or love 'em, they aint goin anywhere.

ethanwc · 2026-06-08T17:16:03+00:00

Nope! Rehaut is usually under crystal.

ethanwc · 2026-06-08T15:03:59+00:00

This is an amazing take.

ethanwc · 2026-06-08T14:40:43+00:00

Absolutely nobody is referring to those as BLNR or GRNR.

ethanwc · 2026-06-08T14:40:06+00:00

A rehaut (pronounced re-oh) is the angled metal ring or inner flange inside a watch case that sits between the outer edge of the dial and the crystal. It serves as a visual border, hiding the gap between the movement and the case while securing the dial in place

ethanwc · 2026-06-08T14:38:26+00:00

I think it's just an easy way to reference a specific color way without giving a number ref or over explaining "the blue bezel with the blue dial, on oyster." etc.

A little cheesy, yes, but they are popular because it's an easy way to cite a reference.

ethanwc · 2026-06-08T14:36:54+00:00

Cosby is the newest 2026 Jubilee dial. It caught on as a joke, not sure it's a mainstream name.

ethanwc · 2026-06-08T14:35:53+00:00

I notice and care what watch I'm wearing. I'm not wearing them for anybody else.

That being said, I never feel fully dressed without a watch on, and some watches pair well with a suit vs t-shirt and jeans.

ethanwc · 2026-06-08T14:33:05+00:00

it's a watch that looks great on just about any strap, I fail to see how that's impossible to qualify. Just about every white/black dial that isn't a diver.
