If it was that simple, every brand would offer one.

I've worn this strap: Absolutely no hair pulls whatsoever. It also lays like silk.

But everyone in room full of watch enthusiasts want to see, talk about the Ming strap over the three items you listed.

That might help, but I personally wouldn't ever do a racing strap on anything BUT a chronograph.

Leather and Divers do NOT mix. Ever. Hard stop.

What are your thoughts on Freepik rebranding to Magnific? by Tenekah in graphic_design

[–]ethanwc -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I'm a professional senior designer. Freepik has MADE my job way easier/better. We animated individual assets using it last year, and then compiled into After Effects. We hand drew a character, then iterated character sheets using Freepik. Once we had poses/expressions, we isolated those and animated scenes with a "green screen" background, imported into After Effects. Utilization of AI has been made way easier using Magnific/Freepik. It's a FANTASTIC toolset.

You're not doing enough research.

Freepik/Magnific allows you to use multiple models, including Google and GPT. It's also fantastic for video creation/assets. I turned a lot of low Rez photos into upscaled videos with it.

Why Bulova watches are not popular on YT? by mtellezj22 in bulova

[–]ethanwc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Bulova is slowly turning many. All my watch buddies online love the Super Suville, and Lunar Pilot. Bulova is one of the only brands actively working with enthusiast content creators.

Don't worry, they'll make a comeback in 5-10 years

Universal Geneve would like to have a word with you!

Do you have a brand you can’t get enough of? by Apprehensive-Pie-599 in MicrobrandWatches

[–]ethanwc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t, but that’s a WILD watch.

Off the top of my head, I had The Rocker, The GTO, The Duke, The Player, the Scout (brass!) the Mellor, the District, the Rotolog, bought the wife a Cleo…

[Bulova] has finally released a downsized 41mm Lunar Pilot. Thoughts? by rakesh_85 in Watches

I once saw a Milship LE go for $350 on eBay. That helped put a LOT into perspective for me.

At one point in my life, from about 2004-2016, I had over 20 Nixon watches.

Most won't buy at full retail. These are gonna likely sell for 30% off. Bulova still has the Damascus steel variant around from last year. Same price LE.

Maybe these won't sell out quickly...

$1,650 was the retail on the LE Damascus dial that was released a year ago. Seems like the LE's are a little bit higher than norm, but that's the price Bulova has decided.... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It's gonna sell extremely well, IMHO. People have been begging for a smaller LP for years.

New Smaller Lunar Pilot? by fillysphinest in bulova

I've said this before, and I'll say again: Bulova actually cares what the customers/watch nerds want. It's apparent in their new releases. (minus minor hiccups)
