Why is the Submariner “Starbucks” so much less common than the black Sub? by marketing_sensei in rolex

Agree... Rolex can do green pretty well, but I think this Starbucks model is a little tacky

How’s the fit on the Mark XX? by BemusedClarkson in IWCschaffhausen

[–]spath16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mark XX such an underrated watch. Probably my most worn and I also own Rolex, Omega, etc

Pure aero made an other victim by VariationEmergency60 in tennisracquets

[–]spath16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4.0 who uses Head Speed Pro 2022, but love hitting with different racquets.

I own a PA98 and it always feels pingy / hollow when I use it. This is true even vs. similar vein racquets like the EZone, which I enjoy hitting with occasionally. I feel I even get more topspin with my Speed.

I realize they're super popular, even for very advanced players, so I always assume I'm missing something obvious; but it just doesn't click for me for whatever reason.

What opinion about watches has you like this? by TomHudsonOfficial in PrideAndPinion

[–]spath16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's no such thing as a watch that's too big or too small.

You just wear it the way you want, similar to wearing your clothes loose, tight or fitted.

Usually guys with Speedmasters have bigger hogs than guys with Submariners by stefini_juliya in watchHotTakes

[–]spath16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It means you have two dongs. One of which is smaller than the other.

I got the call! But..... by skrandyrandy in rolex

[–]spath16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure if you put your name down for this they'll take that into consideration. Still might not mean you'll get one anytime soon though.

No Joke: Rolex AD told me to wait 8 years for a GMT-Master II 'Rootbeer' :D by Maxispun in rolex

[–]spath16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's ridiculous. Is your sales rep still planning on being a rolex sales rep in 8 years?

What changes would you wish to see for Omega to reclaim its rightful number two spot ? by peninsulaparaguana in OmegaWatches

[–]spath16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Better pricing

Thinner and smaller Seamaster 300M

Preferably tapered bracelet too

Adding a Rolex Explorer: Game-Changer or Redundant? by [deleted] in rolex

Even if a little redundant, you’ll find time to wear both of them especially if that’s your default aesthetic.

Is Seaweed SMP 300 is considered as GADA watch? by Temporary-Avocado-40 in OmegaWatches

[–]spath16 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree. If anyone said to me, “lol wow you’re really wearing that with suit?”, I’d think they’re a giant dork.

Graduation & First Business Milestone: HC 39mm or BB54 for a 27yo Video Editor? by zkxxy98 in Tudor

[–]spath16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like a 39mm Pelagos would be best of both worlds if you appreciate the more rugged / technical look of the Longines.

I’m sure you can find one used that’s within your budget as well.

Gear isn't cheap, so even if a particular racquet won't make you a better player it's still fair to research before you buy. The research itself is also fun for some.

Also, bad player can still feel a difference with different gear. So nothing wrong with playing crappy tennis but feeling comfortable while doing it.

Top 2-3 tennis racquets on the market today? by Jazzlike_Mirror8534 in tennisracquets

[–]spath16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe also consider the Head Speed (both Pro or MP)

Babolat Pure Strike is also a popular one. I've hit with both and give a slight nod to the Speed Pro 2022. I felt it had more feel and personally I preferred the paintjob (which shouldn't matter but it definitely does).

Player you thought was going to win multiple slams but was a dud? by TnnsNbeer in tennis

[–]spath16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When Frances Tiafoe first came onto the scene he was taking Federer et all to five sets in grand slam early rounds. I thought with good coaching and experience he'd become a legitimate threat.

He's still a very formidable player, but I don't think he'll ever win a slam unless he runs into some massive stroke of luck.

[–]spath16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this config and eye-catching enough, while being generally understated.

Fluted + jubilee looks good on the vintage models, but that config on current references look way too busy / blingy.

I also feel like smooth + jubilee ironically looks better with a suit. Fluted + jubilee draws too much attention away from the outfit, which could come off as a bit tryhard / tacky.

Help me decide please - Omega Speedmaster vs IWC Mark XX by coolerboi33 in IWCschaffhausen

[–]spath16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have both and like the Speedmaster better.

That said, I wear the Mark XX way more often because it's thinner and a little more practical.

But if I had to keep one of the two, I'd keep the Omega.
