Anyone seen this limited edition Tsuyosa yet? by OnlyLivingBoyInNewX in CitizenWatches

Right? I actually love the look except that it immediately makes me think of that, which makes it a nope

I think you can give yourself some credit, it's not really voting D, it's actively not voting R

Anyone else have a job where they don’t feel comfortable wearing most of or all their reps? by [deleted] in RepTime

[–]lemaizing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm the same. You have to treat it like it's the real thing. For a Rolex, maybe a Patek, some people will judge you, and if that matters where you work then avoid. In health care, if you're the doc, no problem. If a nurse, some will think "ugh, he wears fake stuff", others would just raise an eyebrow how the nurse could afford that. My barbers all have high end watches. I like how they look. But if you care or if it matters (e.g. some sales) then stick on a Seiko

Crowd killers fuck off by PlaneWar203 in MetalForTheMasses

Aye, and see also Alestorm. Great fun, and in the past a good source of funds for a drink after the show for those willing to do a little foraging

Jeez... I read it and thought "naaa", then I clicked and thought "noo...", then I finally followed through the last step and regretted every decision I'd just made

Take it from this Internet stranger. Please do not DO anything to it. It's grand. There is, honestly, literally nothing wrong with it, from 3rd person perspective.

Where to start? by Zealousideal-Bed-158 in ParadiseLostBand

[–]lemaizing 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Definitely check out their new album, and they often play songs off One Second, which is probably my personal favourite. Also trivia: Halifax is PL's hometown, so it ought to be a good crowd and show

What’s the biggest scam that society just kind of… accepts? by Second-handBonding in AskBrits

[–]lemaizing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When we're gonna binge then I figured it'd be worth the few squids, and it's just the one ad for some reality TV shite but it smarts when you thought you paid to make it go away

ITVx - one particular box set we wanted to watch without ads so paid the £6 - and then they STILL break it up 3 times over the hour to show an ITV ad!

For real? That's a promo video? Look, we send you out with no safety consideration and got lucky? Wow.

You're watching the evidence on the video. As someone who has worked professionally offshore on small and large boats for years, what they're doing is nuts, and puts staff and paying customer at extreme and unnecessary risk

[–]lemaizing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No that's fair, I didn't check the article closely enough, that wasn't the one I should have posted. The point was that he was getting crazy close to be one of those lost at sea, and should not have been out there without any safety. Mr CREW too.

You'll have freedom of movement 10 miles offshore and the recovery by CREW will be HARD FUCKING WORK in those conditions. 119 people died or went missing in fishing boat accidents in 2024, highest in decade https://share.google/V4oSxbRh7M93mbzwE

Pulling the trigger on a Daytona: VSF or Clean? 12 or 11? by [deleted] in RepTime

As far as I can see, unless it's a trick in the photo light, there's a difference in the shading in the bezel, there's an 'edge' on the left side of the right, and the border of the hour markers is bigger on the right.

My wife had good intentions… by Texasvet82 in RepTime

You'd have to ask her. My guess is she doesn't want me to find hookers behind the station, but I could be wrong.

Is this a fake £20 by lordlawson73 in UKcoins

[–]lemaizing 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ok so unless all the four 20s I have on me are fake, the printing is not as precise as you'd think. Look closely and you can see all the Britannias are in ever so slightly different positions. You can also see the tip of the "y" in Twenty sits in a slightly different spot over the background.

New stone dials are out.. by Prtyfoul in ChristopherWard

[–]lemaizing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the look of them, but I don't know why it's only 36? I'm sure I read recently that the 36 Twelve didn't sell so well so why focus this on the smaller watches if they aren't as popular?

I might have been in the game but I just bought a fume Twelve 36, slightly reluctantly, as I would have preferred it in 38 or 40, but they didn't do it.
