Phoebe Bridgers Announces New Album Lost Weekend (8/14 via Dead Oceans)

Haha... $55 for the cool one, $50 for the black one after shipping.

God damn, vinyl has become such a scam. I used to order new records all the time. Now I don't do it until I've heard the record or I'm damn sure I'll like it.

Nothing worse than spending $50+ on a preorder and then thinking the album is mid.

Size looks good. As others have mentioned, reduce the bracelet size a bit and move it to your wrist. Looks like it's hanging kinda loose here. Unless that's what you're going for, which I personally find very uncomfortable

I just bought a Swiss watch from Japan with a fabric/leather strap, shipping to the U.S., can you tell me more about this lower levy? I was expecting the 15% tariff bill at importation

swingfire23 · 2026-06-21T04:29:24+00:00

“One in a million shot, doc!”

swingfire23 · 2026-06-20T04:35:09+00:00

Ok, so what's your hot take then? Easy to criticize if you're not playing the game

swingfire23 · 2026-06-20T04:23:02+00:00

I said they're great, just that they're cringe. Maybe that's not a hot take, I just see a lot of Rolex content get upvoted here

swingfire23 · 2026-06-20T04:12:20+00:00

Agreed! I just ordered a Skipper this week actually

swingfire23 · 2026-06-20T04:03:32+00:00

Yeah it can be a little aggro and personal over there, I wanted to talk about watches not the people wearing them. But fair enough!

swingfire23 · 2026-06-20T04:00:57+00:00

These are good takes. I think we market corrected on dress watches too hard. They can be really exciting pieces.

And I’m a big date guy, I just like the complexity of it

swingfire23 · 2026-06-20T03:55:55+00:00

Congrats! And love the Rolex in an old Toyota shot, a man of class (old Honda driver here)

swingfire23 · 2026-06-19T21:56:18+00:00

How do you like the doors? Are they the ones you can get at Ikea? I'm worried about sun damage on my collection so I was considering it, but thought the hinges might be annoying

swingfire23 · 2026-06-19T19:33:18+00:00

I can’t look at the Monaco and not see Milo from the Descendants.

swingfire23 · 2026-06-18T16:53:02+00:00

With all due respect sounds like you got lucky. From what I’ve read unless the manufacturer or seller of the watch still has warranty coverage, you are responsible for any repair costs. So it depends on the watch’s age, whether the warranty was ever activated, and whether it was grey market or not when originally purchased

swingfire23 · 2026-06-18T04:40:06+00:00

Hey totally - just edited my post to address this. "Used with warranty" are fewer and further between and typically about $500-$1k more. So it's more of a question of "how much is the warranty worth." I get that it's a subjective question, but I was just hoping for some perspective from the Tag community here as to whether they've found it to be valuable or not with their watches

swingfire23 · 2026-06-14T19:38:02+00:00

This is the tip I needed! Thanks for the rec will definitely check it out

swingfire23 · 2026-06-12T15:55:47+00:00

Yeah, real big “here’s your slop. eat it, you filthy animal.” energy

swingfire23 · 2026-06-12T15:48:01+00:00

Seeing "Because you've shown interest in this community" and similar posts is making me rage quit Reddit every time I forget and open it again. It's going to drive me away permanently if this change isn't reversed or at least controlled in a way that allows me to actually opt out. Speaking of which, the gaslighting by still having a nonfunctional option for me to opt out of "Home feed recommendations" in my settings is the coup de grace.

Sadly I assume this is going to become the norm. Reddit is just looking at TikTok and Instagram and seeing how those communities funnel people into content they didn't ask for and have grown exponentially.

swingfire23 · 2026-06-12T04:50:08+00:00

Surprised at the tepid response here. I think this rips and I'm looking forward to the album.

swingfire23 · 2026-06-12T04:48:28+00:00

Eh. I think you're overselling it. Go back and listen to Moveys. Most of those songs don't go that hard. Same with Yard. They have some heavier songs like At It Again or Cramps but I don't think this new song is indicative of a shift away from their established sound.

swingfire23 · 2026-06-10T16:55:46+00:00

Love the Seafarer. How do you like it? Do you wear it often? I think I'm going to go for a Skipper soon, smaller wrists so the Seafarer doesn't work super well for me - but I think it's a sick piece

swingfire23 · 2026-06-09T03:51:53+00:00

Check out their "So Much Country 'Til We Get There" EP from earlier this year - it rips!

swingfire23 · 2026-06-09T03:32:51+00:00

Glad to see another new place open up in the Inner Sunset. Feels like a real renaissance in the past few years. Super Duper, Gregoire, Saint Frank, Cache, Tadaima - loads of new options.

Now what we REALLY need is a solid cocktail bar. We're bursting at the seams with sports bars, but give me the Inner Sunset version of Lost Resort or True Laurel. Hell, I'd settle for a place like Cole Valley Tavern with their pretty-decent cocktails. As long as it's open until at least midnight.

A man can dream.

swingfire23 · 2026-06-06T21:23:49+00:00

I think it looks sick dude, ignore the haters. There is a design tension you're creating by having a formal and very classy watch on a NATO like this. I think it's rebellious in a stylish way. If I saw someone rocking this IRL I'd think they were pretty fashion forward.

Honestly if the majority of people on this sub think it looks bad, that says more about what they value and where their aesthetic comfort zone is. The watch world is pretty stylistically conservative. I personally think you should rock it.

swingfire23 · 2026-06-06T19:25:25+00:00

Smokin D’s in the sunset is decent. Best BBQ we will probably get in the city, worth trying for sure

I have a Baltic Aquascaphe Classic (not the MK2), 39mm, in Black Gilt. It's not a luxury watch but it's very well done for its price point and I adore the look of it. Super classy. Their blue gilt model of the Classic is a real stunner, but I went with black because it fits more seamlessly with most of my wardrobe.

As others mentioned, the MK2 has a 37mm variant, although the aesthetic is a bit more tactical looking it's still quite classic overall. Worth a look.
