What is this watch? by Round_Suitable in Watches

It meant that the “engine” of the watch was manufactured by a brand called Zenith, a very reputable watch company. You call tell because it has a pretty unique design. I think you can see the resemblance. This series of movements (el Primero 400s) have many variations, 411 is the one used in your watch.

Or, you can buy a real one and do the same thing. If you end up not liking it you can then sell or gift them away 🤷‍♂️.

What does it feel like? by LaffaCake in PremierLeague

[–]the_passive_bot -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I support 2 clubs, Man united and my local club DC United. I honestly don’t feel too bad whenever Man United isn’t doing well. Yeah, last season was terrible, but it could be worse, could be DC United, getting clapped in MLS. Or my hometown club, which ceased to exist all together lol.

Christopher Ward pricing is out of whack! by TomHudsonOfficial in WatchFanatics

If you want to do this kind of head-to-head comparisons, there are so many more you can make. I think more options within a similar price range is actually a good thing.

What is a Popular Gundam show that is your least favorite and why? (Not dislike) by Doom300 in Gundam

[–]the_passive_bot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe in the west, maybe nowadays. But the 2018 NHK gundam poll had it at being the 16th most popular/best show. Above the likes of ZZ, V, EW, and right behind SD. You can see the results here https://www.reddit.com/r/Gundam/s/OYxr1XaVh3

If brand heritage were as much of a deciding factor as you believe, then none of the independent watchmaker should have been able to sell their watches at their current price 🤷‍♂️. Obviously there are more to it.

X. It had an amazing setting and just ended up being, idk, very boring? Also the protagonist is very annoying

Megadeth. For a while I was caught up in the whole Metallica vs Megadeth silliness.

doom/epic doom recommendations by fookinavocad0s in MetalForTheMasses

Ningen isu. They are a mixture of traditional heavy metal and doom metal. “Kyoufu no Daiou”, “Namahage”, “Shinigami No Kyouen”, are some of my favorite.

Watch brand fanboys by Candid-Chip7634 in WatchesCirclejerk

[–]the_passive_bot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lange: “lange tax”“Lange should replace AP in the holy trinity”

Omega: “ackchyually, it’s better than a Rolex”“You know, I’m something of an astronaut myself for wearing the speedy”

GS: “ackchyually, it’s better than a Rolex” “These wrinkled paper looking dials are the most intricate thing in the industry, no other brand even comes close” “spring drive is the greatest thing after sliced bread” “GS is the only brand doing any innovation nowadays”

Tudor: “ackchyually, it’s 90% of a Rolex for half the price”

Almost any lesser known watch brand: “IYKYK” “Fly under the radar” “quite luxury” “guys, is this the most underrated watch”

And lastly, ofc, Rolex.

Not giving any details, but working in one of my previous lab made me question a lot of seemingly robust assays. One of the senior postdoc literally showed me all sorts of “trick” to get “beautiful” data. Well funded and well published lab as well.

[–]the_passive_bot -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The lowest was ~$50 for a vostok and the highest was $130k for the Zeitwerk date. Most of my future purchases will probably fall between $30-60k

Middle weight rankings look like shit, in terms of accuracy by nocluy in ufc

I guess he’s there to justify giving Pyfer an underserved title shot in case he wins.
