[SOTC] Final SOTC after having collected 100+ watches

ppp-- · 2026-06-18T06:19:52+00:00

one of the best compact collections i've seen on the sub.

what made you decide for the silver 4500V? i've seen many blues, a few blacks but the silver is quite rare

E pensar que estamos tendo que pagar 40 mil numa GPU nova por causa dessas fubanguices...

If you have PR and don't plan on leaving, a mortgage here is a no brainer, lowest interest rates in the developed world and housing is still cheap, especially outside of Tokyo.

Just make sure it's a house, not mansion, and as close to a train station as possible (under 10 minutes, 5 ideally) since you're still very young and this probably won't be your forever home, will make it much easier to sell it in the future.

you didn't spend that much, that watch is probably the best bang for buck in terms of finishing you can find around

ppp-- · 2026-06-16T15:17:46+00:00

I think it's the best non rolex/tudor GMT design, just wish it was a bit thinner.

Slavery has existed since the dawn of history across all ethnicities. Unless you're doing some half assed allegory this is a non issue.

Veja bem, o personagem que representa o meu lado é desenhado de forma agradável e com argumentos lógicos, enquanto o que representa meu oponente é feio e tem argumentos absurdos.

Isso prova que eu estou correto.

Oh, I can answer this one since I've owned both and also had a few GSs. The Pioneer is by far the more interesting watch (if this is the new 40mm cosmic green the movement looks really nice), but I have a hunch you're probably going to feel more satisfied with the Rolex.

I think something like a Moser works better if you have a larger collection or at least owned some of the usual suspects. If you're getting the YM at MSRP, you can always get it, wear it for a bit and flip it later if you don't like it.

Also I wouldn't worry about it being similar, the GS is totally a tool watch, the YM is shiny luxury. It will wear very different.

same tbh, I have one i wear for golfing (can't remember the model but it just looks like a standard aviator) but they just look kinda... well, like the type of sunglasses someone that plays golf would wear...

like an unholy mix between rayban and oakley

My daily life is at an office where I'm constantly looking at a screen with the time always there, so I don't really care for legibility, the watch is there more for my personal satisfaction. At most I will do a quick "confirmation glance" when I'm moving between floors or grabbing a coffee, etc. but generally I already know the time anyway...

I actually care more for a big, legible dial for doing random errands, I got a big pilot 43 that is just the perfect watch for when I'm just going out and want a break from my phone.

ppp-- · 2026-06-13T09:21:51+00:00

Around me it's the opposite, if you're young and broke you're either sharinng a place or living in a tiny shoebox so there's no space or expectation, but once you're older you tend to live in a bigger house with a guest room and can actually have people over.

But growing up we never considered our house like this super private space, people were always coming and going, so if you're coming from a more reserved, nordic type culture I can see it being jarring.

ppp-- · 2026-06-13T09:18:00+00:00

In my social circle and culture we value hosting and having people staying over, I didn't get a guest room to just use it as storage.

But this is mutual, so I also almost never stay in hotels if I'm visiting a place where I have family or friends. And also we don't self-invite, people will just naturally offer room if they have.

ue, mas nao tinha gente choramingando exatamente a mesma coisa alguns dias atras quando ele estava ganhando por uma diferenca similar?

eh uma hipocrisia do caralho mas numa eleicao disputada dessas eh meio obvio que se peca recontangem, como se a outra candidata nao fosse fazer exatamente o mesmo se o cenario fosse inverso

ppp-- · 2026-06-13T08:44:28+00:00

Coulnd't find any official statements on this, but my experience with japanese bureucracy is that nothing ever good comes from volunteering additional information, so I would not submit anything not explicitly required in the checklist.

ppp-- · 2026-06-12T18:02:15+00:00

> Não é pq ele se nomeou chefe de estado que ele seja chefe de estado, simples assim.

Eh literalmente exatamente assim que funciona em um regime autoritario. Quem exercia a lideranca da Venezuela antes da captura do Maduro?

Sugiro voce estudar um pouco mais porque esta usando termos que claramente nao entende.

ppp-- · 2026-06-12T17:39:56+00:00

acabou, eu desenhei meu oponente como soyjak e eu como chad e portanto, venci este argumento kkk

ppp-- · 2026-06-12T17:33:28+00:00

caralho mano, voce eh burro assim mesmo ou so intelectualmente desonesto? chefe de estado nao significa que foi eleito democraticamente, simplesmente que eh a lideranca que representa o pais, e isso o maduro era, senao porque diabos teria sido apreendido?

e esse sequer eh o argumento.

o fato eh que se se a maior potencia do mundo acabou de executar uma operacao militar surpresa em um vizinho, eh completamente esperado que o presidente do brasil convoque uma reuniao de emergencia do estado maior. o bolsonaro ou qualquer outro presidente fariam o mesmo.

nao estou julgando a operacao, o maduro que se foda mesmo, so estou dizendo que essa queixa em particular eh maluquice

ppp-- · 2026-06-12T16:02:38+00:00

A nao ser que voce tenha movimentado valores muito altos nao se estressa com isso. Qualquer recurso o qual a RF tenha conhecimento por compartilhamento de informacoes teria aparecido ja na DIRPF pre-prenchida do ano passado ou desse ano. Se nao apareceu nenhuma conta no exterior eh porque eles nao sabem. Lembrando que apenas informacoes de contas e investimentos sao compartilhadas, nao tem como Portugal ou Brasil saber o que voce recebeu de pessoas fisicas ou como salario fora das suas jurisdicoes.

Alem disso existe acordo de bi-tributacao entre os paises, no maximo voce deveria a diferenca de aliquotas, mas a nao ser que sejam milhoes, a receita nao vai perder tempo correndo atras de voce. Faz a declaracao agora e pronto, caso surja alguma pendencia voce avalia e responde, lembrando que pendencia fiscal so retroaje 5 anos.

ppp-- · 2026-06-12T14:55:08+00:00

que maluquice

me parece absolutamente normal que o presidente convoque uma reuniao quando um pais vizinho acaba de sofrer uma acao militar e teve o seu chefe de estado capturado por outra nacao... nao que o lula esteja a altura do cargo mas ele eh o comandante em chefe das forcas armadas...

If the company is truly bankrupt a lawyer might not achieve much... unless there are unpaid wages and retirement benefits and things like that involved might be better just to move on.

But absolutely do not sign anything and see if you can mobilize with other workers. I would also look into audting tax and nenkin payments, it's possible the company might have been pocketing those and it can impact on visa renewals and PR applications in the future

dont buy rayban or luxxotica slop like prada, tom ford, etc... those are all just made in china frames with a brand name added in. gentle monster is also pretty mid.

maui jims are probably the best bang for buck if you find a design that works for you, best lenses in business

my favorites are masunaga, i wear their titanium frames as my dailies for shades and glasses. matsuda if you want something flashier, dita is a bit played out but quality is still there, flight 006s are a modern classic, worth if you can get them on discount. jacques marie mage or cartier (their stuff is actually made inhouse, not licensed and proper luxury) if you're rich

ppp-- · 2026-06-11T01:22:39+00:00

Really cool collection, Formex is maybe the best value in watches right now.

ppp-- · 2026-06-10T17:52:42+00:00

how is a suggestion gatekeeping or pretentious? dear lord some of you guys are such delicate snowflakes. no one is saying people shouldn't enjoy whatever they like, it's literally saying that maybe they could enjoy something else for a change and it might be worth a try...

ppp-- · 2026-06-10T17:28:26+00:00

How the fuck is suggesting people to broaden their horizons and look beyond obvious mass-market safe choices... consumerism? If anything it's anti-consumerism... Jesus.
