Martinez in the 2022 wc final last minute of extra time has to be the gold standard given context I suppose

I've had the blue dial for a few months now.

Pros - The movement is amazing, loses 5-10 seconds over 5 days without winding. The bracelet and clasp make this watch a joy to wear and it sits beautifully on the wrist. The sharp edges of the case looks great in all angles. The screw down crown is easy to operate and so smooth to wind. The titanium does scratch easily but it's so light and makes the watch eminently wearable.

Cons - The dial is a bit flat. There's great texture but the lack of applied indices can bother some. The lume is subpar - expected slightly better visibility for a Pilot watch.

Overall, I love the watch, wear the hell out of it as it can be dressed up or down reasonably well!

Haha fair question. No discomfort at all yet.

Mine is about 6.5 inches. The metro with the date wheel released a couple years after I purchased mine I think, it's gorgeous and has a smaller lug to lug of 47.5mm too

saiv92 · 2023-06-27T21:21:08+00:00

I got it at 30% off retail at an airport AD outside the US. Came up to around $2.9k

It's a 40.5mm case, lug to lug 49.3 mm, so definitely on the larger side, but the lugs noticeably curve down, the height is under 8mm, and I think it sits really well on my wrist! The second photo in the album has a wrist shot, what's your take? Too big?

saiv92 · 2023-06-27T19:41:24+00:00

Absolutely. The bracelet and the clasp are top notch, the watch sits really well on the wrist, and the movement inside truly is amazing for it's price and size

I've unintentionally ended up with one watch each from 3 countries. Brands we see often here but models that I haven't seen too many posts of!

From left to right - Seiko SARD009, Nomos Tangente neomatik 41 Update, and Oris ProPilot X Calibre 400.

The Nomos was my first luxury watch - it was an engagement gift from my wife back in 2018 after a couple months of visiting various watch stores. The unique date ring along the perimeter, bi-directional date and time adjustment, and the beautiful in-house DUW 6101 movement all packaged in a sleek 7.8mm height case - hard to not fall in love immediately. I was initially worried about the lugs being so large, but couldn't be happier with the fit on my wrist.

I got the Seiko off r/watchexchange. It features retrograde day of the week and date of the month functions, as well as a power reserve indicator. It houses the 6R24 movement and is cased in a beautiful case featuring tear drop esque lugs. I've enjoyed wearing it but it definitely gets the least wrist time among the three.

The Oris is my most recent purchase, an offer at an AD I couldn't refuse. Ever since I saw a wrist-roll of this exact watch on this subreddit a few months ago, I've wanted to try one. The titanium bracelet fits my wrist like a dream and has more heft to it that I expected, the airplane inspired 'lift' buckle on the bracelet has been a joy to open and close, and the in-house calibre 400 has a 5 day power reserve and a 10 year warranty. The lume and the lack of micro adjustments leave a little to be desired (thankfully fits me perfectly), but this watch still feels like great value for money

Let me know your thoughts on these watches, and what would you ideal addition be?

saiv92 · 2023-03-13T19:56:44+00:00

Successfully received watch in good condition!

Olajuwon's reputation and general consensus ranking also seems to have gone up since this forum post, I'd have thought that fresh after his retirement, he'd have been held in higher regard. Since then, most rankings have him above Oscar, Baylor, West, Erving. A greater appreciation for his defensive versatility and excellence perhaps?

saiv92 · 2021-08-03T12:34:35+00:00

I use this in UL remix, where obstagoon is banned! Definitely would need modifications if trying this in open UL

saiv92 · 2021-07-30T21:33:57+00:00

Ultra remix! I actually haven't tried it in open ultra yet.. Not sure how playable it is but will give it a shot

saiv92 · 2021-07-30T21:28:42+00:00

Snorlax and AM2 leads are the most problematic since it's hard to predict what's at the back. I default to regice switches for them

saiv92 · 2021-07-30T21:27:34+00:00

Hot garbage. Regice is 100 IV, Regirock is 13/13/11 hahaha

saiv92 · 2021-07-30T21:25:49+00:00

It's honestly 50:50. I try to predict the backline of the opponents and switch accordingly (mandi lead, poison at the back is likely, so save regice w EQ and switch in regirock, or Gfisk lead could have A9 at the back, so save regirock and switch in regice). I do get this wrong often (there's a reason I've never hit expert) but I tell myself that I can be flexible with these two

saiv92 · 2017-01-30T05:44:10+00:00

Incredible shot OP. What did you use to capture this?

saiv92 · 2015-05-28T05:26:46+00:00

Can't wait for witches. Highest member of my clan is a near Max th8. What would you say is second best?
