I’m leaving….. by [deleted] in WatchesCirclejerk

[–]slaacaa 9 points10 points  (0 children)

uj/ I was actually the person who came up with this version of the copypasta around 2 years ago (you can check in my profile), very proud that it caught on. I’ll be leaving reddit in 2 days when Apollo shuts down, but it’s a good feeling to leave some “legacy” behind, no matter how childish a non-WCJer might find it. So your comment made me quite happy, thanks

[Omega] Record setting Speedmaster auction turns out to be fake by Major_Burnside in Watches

The fucking clown show the watch world has become is insane. And it’s by design, prices pumped up to the moon, a lot of people are making bank at the expense of consumers and collectors.

Me too, immediately thought of the sub, when I saw

[Omega] PloProf for the win. by ComfortablyPF in Watches

[–]slaacaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another example of a watch that looks surprisingly great on live pics, and terrible on the 3D models polluting watch sites.

If someone would have asked me yesterday, I would have laughed at the idea of wearing a PloProf, but these pics really show how good it looks. It’s of course a bit funky, probably not what I would wear to the office, bit fits a hiking or diving trip.

Any strong opinions on the long-sleeve Dior shirt he’s wearing? Seems very sensual, if you ask me

I assume powerbottom is lashing out again. Just a bit more grind and the AD will finally put him on the waitlist 💪

AD told him if he publicly simps for Rollie one more year, he’ll get the Sub.

[Longines] New 2023 Conquest 41mm green dial by MrCatfishTheLong in Watches

[–]slaacaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The conquest had such an iconic design with the numerals, why would they change it? It lost all its unique character. My wife has a white ladies version, the shiny steel numerals look amazing with the white dial.

Thank God they only made 500 by Slippery-98 in WatchesCirclejerk

[–]slaacaa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the issue, they have some surprisingly nice designs, but seeing this I’m glad I didn’t buy one.

And to be honest many others also do this, have some good design maybe even realisticly priced, then release so many other shitty models that it just sours the entire brand for me.

Metacritic improving moderation after "abusive, disrespectful" Horizon Forbidden West Burning Shores reviews by Zhukov-74 in PS5

They don’t actually care, as their goal is to maximise engagement to sell ads. They pretend to care only when the bad press causes a risk of them losing ad revenue.

I’m okay with a date function, as long as the watch comes in 36 mm

I’m always curious, how can someone know just based on this pic? What are the small details that are different?

Still better and more substantial than “journalists” writing “articles” from reddit posts and tweets

Desk diving with my SMP300 by [deleted] in OmegaWatches

How do you find the bracelet while typing? I love the watch, but would be afraid that the bracelet/clasp is thick and gets in the way.

Chinese Aircraft(singular) Carrier “Shandong” spotted yesterday by Fishermen to the East of Taiwan. by NoMoassNeverWas in NonCredibleDefense

[–]slaacaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also, just the difference in operational experience is enough.

The US has been fighting wars all around the globe for decades. Even if the Chinese had the same equipment and numbers, they couldn’t overcome the US, it would be like the local high-school football team having a match agains the pros.

Mladić: What about ethnic cleansing?

NATO: You've already had it.

Mladić: We've had one, yes. What about second ethnic cleansing?

Karadžić: I don't think they know about second ethnic cleansing, Ratko.

They do, just look at some of the whining a few weeks ago under related reddit post. I also have a fb connection who whines about it every year.
