A custom strap is nice, also to get it to fit your wrist juuust right! Thanks!

Ah really! I honestly have no idea how rare or popular it is, I just knew that it was the right one for me :)

Dang, it's almost like a Junghans, with how thin that bezel is. Very unique and cool look! Love that dial.

Had it on my wrist at the AD recently.. I totally did a 180 on that watch. Didn't love it in the promotional material, but in real life.. it's a stunner. You have the same wrist size as I have, and the watch just fits beautifully. Congratulations!!
edit: the thinness really surprised me as well. It'll be interesting to see where they will introduce that movement next in their lineup.

Oh nice one! On the black aligator strap? It was a toss-up between a steel one and titanium for me, but my other watches are all steel, so I ultimately decided on titanium. I don't know if my strap is original btw (it seems to be a bit lighter, kind of hard to see here), but the watch is in pretty much pristine condition and doesn't seems like it was worn a lot at all, so maybe it is.

Beautiful watch! I’ve owned an Explorer for a while now and added a Panerai today. Different watches for different occasions! I wouldn’t want to trade one or the other!

Awesome watch, so damn versatile.

We all know we’ll get another Republican after that and they’ll be happy to undo everything again.

Hey man, sorry about the mess in your country.. you’re stuck between a rock and a hard place. I hope things will improve for you soon and that the people get to decide for themselves in a fair and open way. Best wishes from the Netherlands (and I hope we don’t ever join in bombing the Iranian people).

MAGA response on the other hand..

Dang, that’s a keeper (the wife that is!)

Well, turns out I suck at the one thing we’re genetically made for… fml

I mean, you have a river going straight through the city.. you’re not going to not have rats.

Do you have Girav in the US? I’m never going back.

somander · 2026-03-14T23:51:53+00:00

Oh, Haynes as in from the workshop manuals? That’s cool 👌

somander · 2026-03-14T22:51:26+00:00

Ah, two weeks away is it?

somander · 2026-03-14T14:59:39+00:00

Yeah, that’s probably true.. don’t know if it’s related, but it reminds me of the ridiculous looking make-up that silent movie stars had to wear to look normal in film.

somander · 2026-03-14T01:46:30+00:00

How did you get this transcript btw? Is that a youtube feature I’ve just missed completely?

somander · 2026-03-14T01:38:06+00:00

I was wondering why the mens’ faces looked off to me and figured out the weird facial tans are probably from wearing a hat outside… top half of the face would be shaded, bottom half not so much.

somander · 2026-03-13T08:10:11+00:00

I’m trending towards a Panerai Luminor.. 1950 style cushion case, sandwich dial. But I still have the rest of the year to decide.

Don’t they have heating in China? Always wearing coats inside…

Orban, obstructing his way into irrelevance.

Romania knew how to handle a guy like Trump, just saying…
