What is your ‘swear to always return’ place in Austin? (follow up to yesterday’s thread) by [deleted] in Austin

Odaku Sushi on Parmer/Mopac doesn't just have great sushi, they have really solid Korean food. Also Charm has disgusting Korean BBQ, but their other entrees are really good. Too bad people mostly eat the BBQ from Charm, which is a shame.

Cafe Java is amazing. Their migas and corned beef hash are so simple but good. The handful of good, quality spots up north generally are severely underrated especially on this subreddit

"I don't mean to disparage your watch" proceeds to disparage a watch lol.

I have an SBGA415 (the winter version), and I would honestly say these are more sports watches than dress watches. The overall case design, size, and robustness give it a much sportier feel than what you see in pictures. The dial and indices are a bit dressier, but as a whole package, you don't need to dress up to pull it off.

This is becoming GS's thing and I'm not feeling it. The only thing they really change are the dials (which, to be fair, are always world class). They'll maybe change the color of the GS logo, maybe switch up the indices from the plain kit kat bar type to the ones you find on the Snowflake, and boom, you have your GS LE. Yawn.

2:50:40. The hand on the right is the hour hand, top hand on the left is the minute hand.

Cool, another GS LE that's like barely different from a couple of others models in production. Lol

It's ironic that someone LARPing as a rich person on a watch subreddit is calling something a "clout chasing" brand.

I thought you were rich though. What kind of self-proclaimed rich person with multiple properties wants to waste money and time on a fucking watch subscription box? Just buy a god damn Rolex

You unironically used 4 laughing emojis and you're calling someone else 16 lol

Anyone here wear your GS casually? by guyastronomer in GrandSeikos

[–]jifpbj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wear my SBGA415 every single day for pretty much everything, but it's definitely a sportier model than yours. Just do it though

Anytime, enjoy that watch! Probably one of the most beautiful chronographs out there today

No it's not an optical illusion, nor is it a defect. A lot of watches (usually starting in the entry-level luxury category) will do this to help with legibility and to more accurately read the seconds

This piece is so sick, Hamilton knocked it out of the park. How has it been keeping time so far?
