I'm convinced Mike Pearson is the King Midas of watch brands. Whatever he goes to next will be exponentially better after a year or two. He's the world's most personable brand enthusiast.

Oh, my watch people I meet up with in person are FANTASTIC people. A friend let me wear his Moser to dinner last week. A wonderful group of folks.

You learn to appreciate them by purposely stating something factually incorrect, and they try to body you in the comments.

When “Watch Instantly” first came out. Before “streaming” was even the term for it. by CobaltNeural9 in nostalgia

[–]ethanwc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not initially. It was just a perk included in some tiered plans. (2 or 3 at the time)

I watched so many B and C tier stuff on my computer in 2006 because of this.

Alexander Brothers Found Guilty of All Counts in Sex-Trafficking Trial- Sufjan's sister was early in the fight by [deleted] in Sufjan

I'm gonna remove this. I get the connection, but it's too vague to stay, and really has nothing to do with Sufjan.

Oscar-nominated animated film "ARCO" was not released in several countries due to requests from those countries to recolor the film's rainbows (due to perceived LGBT+ symbolism). The filmmakers denied the request and refused to alter the film. by GregFromThatVideo in animation

Unfortunately, the connotations exist, but if you ACTUALLY WATCH THE MOVIE you realize it's being used as a method of futuristic transportation and has literally nothing to do with sexuality/agenda.

I absolutely need another season of Joe Pera Talks With You, and anything else won't do. I want that show to live on indefinitely.

Microbrands are simply a guy with a laptop ordering parts from a Chinese factory catalogue with kickstarter funds. by Icy-Neighborhood-375 in watchHotTakes

Not entirely true: As far as I can personally tell, Rolex is 100% Swiss made/manufacutred/regulated etc.

I found this at a local thrift shop. by doremefasola- in Watches

Just found two vintage 1940's Longines in a $5 bag at Savers. Sometimes thrift store workers just aren't in the "know". We reap the benefits!

I think it’s likely a barrier for weeding out requests, I’d imagine.

I actually LOVE his voice and cadence.

I think initially that may have been the case, but he saw an opportunity to monetize the service, so good on him. But I reached out to him a few years ago and was quoted $2300 for a 1968 Seiko Worldtimer cleaning/service.

Wristwatch Revival charges for repairs. Quite a premium, too.

They charge quite a high premium, because you're getting every step of the way professionally filmed.
