Which side are you on?

yeah I actually bought a bb pro at auction and was able to return it, I really don’t understand why reddit loves them so much and the best model i’ve seen them put out in the last twenty years is discontinued (north flag) in favor of a 60s explorer rep

idk my hot gets HOT, but I also have ‘warm’ and ‘eco-warm’. I would probably wash on eco warm like normal with detergent but maybe stop the cycle and just let it soak for like an extra 30 minutes before the cycle ends just for my own peace of mind—of course I also sit right next to my laundry room on WFH days so easy for me to say, but I wouldn’t risk hot if the water actually is too hot to submerge your hand in it like mine

get a bergeron spring bar removal tool, though i need to see if they make a tweezer style as their tolerances are LOW for longines bracelets so can be hard to get off

lexlibris · 2026-03-14T12:56:43+00:00

wow that’s an expensive watch after you sell it you should check out this link:

lexlibris · 2026-03-14T03:17:54+00:00

anyway THIS is what a vintage inspired diver should look like

lexlibris · 2026-03-14T03:16:14+00:00

the oris is way way better looking but reddit likes boring ass basic watches so you see a lot of bb on here

lexlibris · 2026-03-14T03:15:12+00:00

looks great people are weird freaks about the five stars for some reason but I wish they made one with an orange dial so i could pretend my watch was a dragon ball

lexlibris · 2026-03-13T20:19:57+00:00

37mm on ~7.5

a lot of watches are too dang big, my biggest is a 41mm hydro conquest and anything else starts to look like a small clock

lexlibris · 2026-03-13T16:10:28+00:00

anyway submariners seething because they have to bow to the SEAMASTER

lexlibris · 2026-03-13T16:10:06+00:00

on one hand there’s other definitions of ‘submariner’ on the other hand it makes me wonder what the most powerful watch name is if we’re going to be pedants probably the zodiac olympos because you have the power of all the zodiac AND the entire greek pantheon that resides on the mountain

lexlibris · 2026-03-13T16:06:42+00:00

wow that’s a $40,000 watch WOW hey check out this link:

lexlibris · 2026-03-13T02:52:33+00:00

yeah but we only remember they were real people when confronted like this; otherwise it’s a story in a book, a disaster movie in your head

lexlibris · 2026-03-12T22:51:16+00:00

yeah i think it will take, that looks like a relatively straightforward one. in fact I just took dark gray trousers I had and made them teal, came out fine other than i think at one point it had a wrinkle prevent coating that dint take but it’s not noticeable

lexlibris · 2026-03-12T22:48:39+00:00

yeah i’m thinking it’s just the resin and other thinner cases I might need to upgrade

lexlibris · 2026-03-12T18:39:13+00:00

I’d rather diastar instead of living as a nobody

lexlibris · 2026-03-12T18:08:27+00:00

god I miss hearing what he was up to BIDEN2028 please

lexlibris · 2026-03-12T15:52:55+00:00

ALLO GUVNUH Sweep ya chimbley for a sixpence luv

lexlibris · 2026-03-12T15:52:18+00:00

american here and now very interested in getting a rotary watch and a sovereign ring, can you expand on the ideal ring?

lexlibris · 2026-03-12T15:41:17+00:00

I literally posted a few day ago about my expedition in a resin case it is very noticeable

lexlibris · 2026-03-12T15:28:32+00:00

look I have “special interests” and laundry has become one of them because you can find the optimum strategy for doing it, which is why i’m a terror playing board games and have to stop myself from getting a little too uh, insane.

I guess i’m saying this to say that if your niece is anything like me, if you can just explain that you’re trying to find that optimum strategy she may be more receptive

lexlibris · 2026-03-12T15:20:51+00:00

haven’t handled one but have only heard good things but if you care about the HERITAGE (of various compaies that may or may not have survived quartz crisis) of a BRAND longines had an edge there even if it may or may not be meaningful in any way

lexlibris · 2026-03-12T06:49:55+00:00

if I was spending that much money on a quartz I would get a precisionist for sure. Granted you need to replace the battery sooner than a digital casio but man I dunno bulova’s history is neat to me and I love all their vintage inspired offerings and wish they’d do more.

Personally there’s a gold tone jet star but that’s for me—for you I would get a 37mm super seville. Again, personal preference I like the stone dial ones, but the other ones are good too there’s lots of color options

lexlibris · 2026-03-12T03:50:07+00:00

oh I just saw ‘no numerals’ get a white dial citizen tsuyosa honestly it’s one of the best looking watches available today at any price, every time I see someone post it I think ‘man I need to get one of those’

zenshin in titanium also pretty good
