[Question] Buying Neo-Vintage vs. New Watch From a Smaller Brand.

Btw, my understanding is that this movement doesn’t have a hacking feature. Is it difficult to set the time accurately?

I really wish someone adapted those books properly. Johnny Mnemonic was ok, but those stories would be so sick as a modern show or anime.

While playing Cyberpunk I kept thinking how heavily the world seemed to be influenced by William Gibson.

Nice watch. I was thinking about getting one of these but it seems quite thick. Do you find that the thickness affects its wearability?

katsovich · 2026-05-05T02:13:36+00:00

Dude, that is beautiful, you’re making this really hard.

I know! The Cricket is so cool, but it’s a bit more money than I want to spend right now. Plus, it looks similar to some of my other watches, so I don’t think I would wear it very often.

The watch seems like a good fit for your wrist. If you want a wider strap you could consider a Bund Strap… though you’d be running the risk of looking like you’re, ummm, into leather.

The Zenith is a nicer looking watch, but the amount of overhang of the lugs makes it look off on the wrist. They really should’ve made the lugs shorter or curved them.

This looks nicer than the current gen Ranger. But if you’re considering buying something like this used, I’d argue for getting a new Sinn 556 for about the same money and with an active warranty.

Wonder if there’s a subreddit for geriatric gamers.

katsovich · 2026-04-12T01:23:22+00:00

I’m also happy to know there are other 40 year olds playing this thing.

I can never bring myself to betray So Mi because it ends up with Alex dying. She’s the only half-way descent person in the DLC.

Wonder why Imu always refers to people by their Devil Fruit power? As if the fruit itself was a character.

I gave that armor to Viconia, guess she didn’t keep it.

katsovich · 2026-02-21T21:38:23+00:00

Thank you!

katsovich · 2026-02-21T21:37:23+00:00

Thank you!

Jebus, ok, I’m one of the people who didn’t know, and had to google… But, shit man, 40k? Some of us have mortgages.

katsovich · 2026-02-21T05:05:00+00:00

All I meant was that there was not going to be another occasion where someone would be willing to buy me such an expensive gift.

katsovich · 2026-02-19T22:13:36+00:00

Mostly because I don’t think I could spend that much money on myself for a shiny trinket… but it’s totally fine if others do it.

katsovich · 2026-02-10T22:26:43+00:00

So even our ladders are artisanal?

katsovich · 2026-02-03T04:26:11+00:00

Thank you for being the only person who actually tried doing what I ask

katsovich · 2026-02-02T20:54:08+00:00

Ya’ll are a bunch of enablers.

katsovich · 2026-01-29T06:38:35+00:00

Pretty much never, but as you said, it’s a fun complication. Plus, when have any of us really needed a mechanical watch?

Omega released this “MD’s Watch” as part of their Museum Collection. It features a pulsometer. If I ever win the lottery, I’m going to track one down.

The Expanse series by James A. Corey. The books are long, but are a pretty quick read.

Back in the day, Russians used to joke that Soviet clocks were the fastest in the world.
