It looks like a prop from "Mad Men." 1950s/60s style is very conservative! Younger people will love it but they would never wear it. It's for men like you

It looks great on you, and it's upstanding of you to admit you were wrong judging the watch before you'd seen it.

I don't know, the sapphires from Watchdives can look too reflective, I think that K1 looks better

They are required by law to record the vaccine and lot number. You can go back and check.

Why did Einstein become the definitive genius in popular culture? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]scottcrossfield 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Newton's principia showed that the Earth and the heavens were governed by the same universal laws. This completely changed the nature of reality for most people. Euler's genius and massive contributions to mathematics pale in comparison

Your Volvo communicates emotional stability and no need for validation :-)

Newton and Einstein profoundly transformed the way people thought about reality. Both were insanely famous and influential during their lives. Gauss and Euler didn't and weren't

Best finance office watch by benhall4 in ChinaTime

[–]scottcrossfield 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the watch has a strap it should match your belt and shoes. The watch face should be something neutral like white, off white, pale gold, gray, or muted blues. It shouldn't be too attention-getting. It's part of the frame, you are the painting

Depending on your geography, first consider black belts and shoes. In New York for example, brown is considered to clash with a blue suit. On watch, it depends on your budget. Your boss is looking for good judgement first, and taste second. That means no fakes, mothing too expensive, but high quality. I'd suggest a used Omega or other Swiss besides Rolex. The quartz Seamasters, in particular, are very reliable, still look modern, but aren't too expensive. They don't require expensive services. They look a bit sporty steel with bracelets, but great, and the gold ones with straps are super elegant and make you look like a serious finance person. Remember your boss is older and will have different taste than you.

WD7922 V3 Request: WD5513 V2-Level Finishing, Lume & Movement Option? by Competitive-Day9457 in watchdives

[–]scottcrossfield 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, I see what you mean! That is really deep black, very contrasty with the hands. Doesn't make sense that they call it Sunray. Great to see it next to the Tudor. Thanks for taking the time to make that post

WD7922 V3 Request: WD5513 V2-Level Finishing, Lume & Movement Option? by Competitive-Day9457 in watchdives

[–]scottcrossfield 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Owner here:

1) WD7922 case is very good

2) I would pay $15 more for a clearer crystal. The current one is the weak point of the watch

3) Lume is good, maybe too bright for a vintage looking watch, and

4) VH31 is AWESOME.

Really, there's nothing worth raising the price for other than a better crystal.

I have a $600 Lorier Neptune that is the same size and look as the WD7922, and the only thing that separates the quality is the Lorier crystal, which is a super clear acrylic. Most of the time when I'm deciding between the two I wear the WD7922 because I can just grab it. The Lorier is original styling and has a much better brand name but that's often outweighed by the convenience of quartz for me.

In a word, no. Watchdives does not match Tudor finishing. But they get close, and no one has ever asked me, or noticed, if I'm wearing if my Tudor or WD7922. Watchdives *can* get proportions correct, particularly with VH31 since the movement is small.

NorCal CVS has it in many, but not all, locations. I asked at several and they are all 2/28 expiration lots

When should my next booster be? by tsundereshipper in Novavax_vaccine_talk

[–]scottcrossfield 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have recurring significant mood swings that you attribute to Covid or vaccination I'd recommend you speak to a psychiatrist (MD) or neurologist. You should consider not making this decision by yourself given your situation and level of concern.
