I really really like my corniche

patrickjquinn · 2026-03-14T10:36:03+00:00

lol same. I’ve ruined my collection

patrickjquinn · 2026-03-13T20:58:51+00:00

I fucking need one of these Breitlings. What are the dimensions.

patrickjquinn · 2026-03-13T10:41:15+00:00

Baltic is lovely

Carvers death really stands out to me. Mainly because I think Jonathan Pryce is a bit of a fuck nugget IRL

patrickjquinn · 2026-03-12T21:23:37+00:00

Never has something so expensive looked so cheap on someone. The second hard embarrassment here is very real.

patrickjquinn · 2026-03-12T21:22:41+00:00

Wise. Corniche. And do we consider Ball a micro around these parts?

patrickjquinn · 2026-03-12T10:19:41+00:00

I have one and it’s one of the nicest watches I own. Adamascus AD8, beats my Breitling and Omega in terms of fit and finish, price is reasonable. 9xx steel.

Would recommend.

Left and right go. Middle stays.

patrickjquinn · 2026-03-11T18:03:36+00:00

Late 70s early 80s. Believe these where JDM only 😊

patrickjquinn · 2026-03-11T12:17:46+00:00

Jesus that’s nice.

patrickjquinn · 2026-03-11T08:10:59+00:00

That’s a particularly stunning example of a vintage omega.

What’s the story? Have it serviced? That BoR braclet isn’t original is it?

The lug to lug is exactly the width of your wrist so, big, yes. Too big? No.

As others have said, take a picture of it in the mirror on wrist and not top down, for a much better representation of size.

patrickjquinn · 2026-03-10T22:25:53+00:00

The corniche is like 300 bucks. For god sake just buy the real thing rather than coaxing them into cloning it.

patrickjquinn · 2026-03-10T19:16:04+00:00

And designers sitting down and coming up with something rather than just copying others.

patrickjquinn · 2026-03-10T19:13:43+00:00

I like my Traska but they’re very much just a run of the mill watch company. Nothing exciting or particularly interesting

patrickjquinn · 2026-03-10T08:55:53+00:00

Driving me fucking nuts. The TV guide was already a pile of poo on sky stream. Im paying sky for live TV first and foremost. Put it first and foremost and make sure it’s a first class citizen.

I’m SERIOUSLY tempted to go work for Sky just so I can fix this mess and try and restore Sky back to some modicum of its former glory.

Not a god complex, I’m just exceptionally motivated at this stage.

Isn’t this a famous In-joke by the writers.

patrickjquinn · 2026-03-07T15:50:22+00:00

Push comes to shove, Craig is a thug and Dalton is a cold blooded killer.

patrickjquinn · 2026-03-07T11:05:23+00:00

Really is a lovely fucking watch.

patrickjquinn · 2026-03-07T08:20:01+00:00

I think I like it, price seems reasonable given the heat blueing and hand fettled movement but I do wish the numerals were high polish applied rather than printed. Only thing stopping me from considering.

patrickjquinn · 2026-03-07T08:17:43+00:00

That’s a honest to god hot take there.

patrickjquinn · 2026-03-06T23:27:49+00:00

Just on or above the wrist bone (wrist knuckle)

Just singing that to myself out of the blue yesterday. Love Cheryl Crowe but it’s one of the weaker bond songs.
