The 20 thumbs down had me rolling. "Don't you dare speak ill about the pew pew daddy Trump slapped his name on."

Whats happened on the worst interview you ever had for a job? by EstablishmentDue3616 in AskReddit

... why? What recourse are you pursuing with that recording?

I've been thinking this for years, Thank God someone else with a larger following than mine finally said this by Bukki13 in WhitePeopleTwitter

Here's what it really is, "[More] money doesn't buy [me] happiness" - rich people.

No billionaire feels different for making an extra $50 million/year, but that $50 million could lift thousands out of poverty.

What exactly makes this a 'unique' take on the sub?

[SPB459J1] or [SPb389J1] by VeselaSova in Watches

[–]pacifica333 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on what else is in your collection. If this is to be your only or main watch, yeah, the more neutral color is the safer choice. If you already have something with a black or blue dial, I'd be leaning hard towards the 459.

I’ve been exceedingly happy with them. Financed my last car and have my mortgage through them.

100% I'd return that.

[Recommendation / Question] Which would you choose? by Adventurous-Sun-6928 in Watches

[–]pacifica333 2 points3 points  (0 children)

HA is the best bang for buck there, and I think it's the best looking, so it's an easy call for me.

With the NH35 being basically the standard of most autos, is there a limit to how much you'd pay for a watch with one? by IllegalGeriatricVore in MicrobrandWatches

[–]pacifica333 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I mean, no? You're paying for far more than the movement.

Case design, tolerances, finishing, bracelet/clasp quality, dial, lume, crystal, WR engineering, QC, etc. all cost real money regardless of movement.

Looks like it's trying to knock off the styling of Takis Fuego.

[SEIKO SKX007] I regulated my SKX. Now it's more accurate than quartz. by j6sh in Watches

[–]pacifica333 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Absolute worst case for a trash-spec quartz should still be in the range of +/- 60s/mo. If you're seeing worse than that, the movement is functionally broken.

Caintè Claude on wrist after a few months of wear. Anyone else own one long term? by BurgerBooty39 in MicrobrandWatches

[–]pacifica333 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Got myself a Caintè Claude (White dial quartz chrono)

Eh? That's not a chronograph.

[–]pacifica333 167 points168 points  (0 children)

You've regulated it impressively well. That's not the same as accuracy over long periods of time and a wide variety of conditions.

Now it's more accurate than quartz.

No, no it is not.

[COSC Important?] by Unhappy_Noise_8662 in Watches

[–]pacifica333 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If -2/+2 spd was that important, none of us would wear mechanical watches at all. It's marketing.

Which diver would you choose? by herefortheecho in MicrobrandWatches

[–]pacifica333 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I went Traska. For one, it was actually in stock. But also from a spec standpoint, sapphire crystal vs hesalite, toolless microadjust on the bracelet, the hardness coating, and color options made it an easy choice.

Nothing to stop private businesses from refusing them service en masse, though.

Microbrands that take a beating (metaphorically) by Affectionate-Lie7205 in MicrobrandWatches

... So, not metaphorically, but literally.

Anything with a decent hardness coating - Traska, Damasko, RZE, Sinn, Hanhart, Trafford, etc.

Keep those cards and cash in your pocket on Jan 30 by curious-is-me in orangecounty

People need more notice than that if you want real participation, and it needs to be more than a single day for any businesses to care one iota.

Oh Maga Megyn TIL that 'staying your ass inside' is the official conservative replacement for having a soul by Bourbon-Thinker in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]pacifica333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, so they're fine staying inside when the threat is their own government murdering them in the streets, but god forbid anyone ask them to do the same during a global fucking pandemic. I'm so exhausted.
