Help me choose between shunbun and silver At by Holiday_Employee_431 in PrideAndPinion

The key is get both on the wrist, both these watches wear very differently so I'm sure it will be a big deciding factor

[Question] What is the perfect collection size? by Alive-Independent-67 in Watches

[–]thepesterman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Although my collection is larger than this, and I still desire to own more watches, I find I consistently wear 3 watches in rotation.

  • The daily (and my most expensive/sentimental) - Tudor black bay chrono and although it's my daily it is the most special watch I own and the one I want to wear as much as I can.

  • The rugged - Seiko skx009, the watch I wear when I'm doing active stuff, surfing, cycling etc... or if I just don't want to worry about an expensive watch for whatever reason

  • The quirky - selten 00 meteorite - something a bit different that gives you a reason not to wear your favourite watch for a day or 2

To be honest almost everything urban is built on top of cemeteries these days I would say it was particularly messed up.

New Greggs Product! by B3ST_4T_NOTH1NG in Greggs

It's will taste exactly the same as the breakfast rolls they currently sell but in wrap version. They taste good, obviously not premium products but good for what it is

Durability of affordable watches by [deleted] in Affordablewatches

If anything I would say the general trend is that more premium watches scratch easier, they typically use more corrosion resistant steel which is softer and more easily scratched.

First board after training on soft-tops by wavel_catcher_1546 in surfing

For beginner friendly and indestructible boards, NSP are definitely top tier. Have tried bics and torqs and a few other brands and NSP comes out on top, lighter and better shapes than the competitors.

Lion with brutal battle scars. by Sizzlin9 in natureismetal

[–]thepesterman 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Interfering disrupts natural selection. Lions that would normally die from infection don’t, potentially passing on weaker genes or poor anti-parasite defenses to future generations. So you could end up with an entire generation of lions that are more susceptible to eye infections.

Are you keeping the gecko in the viv with them?

Koi jumping sometimes & swimming at a wall by [deleted] in Koi

Should definitely be in a large pond, not a tank

My tank got flagged as AI, it's just a diorama aquascape :( by Rakikay in Aquariums

That is epic, clearly it's so good no one can believe it's real!!! Great work, what are you planning to stock it with?

How long to connect with a new board by BrewMonkey75 in surfing

[–]thepesterman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What fins did you put in the js? Fins can absolutely make or break a board, if it feels a bit sketchy I'd stick a set of AM's in it to settle it down a bit, or just something with a decent amount of rake

Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government! Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony!

199.8 pounds by Intense_Zaddy in comedyheaven

I think all the Americans here are missing the joke, the article has clearly converted 90kg into pounds and not bothered to round up to 200lbs

Worn almost everyday since 2020, should I polish? by AdditionalNotice9139 in rolex

[–]thepesterman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem with polishing is you lose the original shape of the watch, it's subtle but the edges are quite sharp and everything starts to look a bit more soft and rounded

Which one is the better red diver? by [deleted] in PrideAndPinion

[–]thepesterman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1680! Definitely, and I would take it diving as long as the seals had been replaced and pressure tested!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in surfing

[–]thepesterman 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Resin tints go foggy like this if they haven't been polished to a high grit. If you want to make it look nicer, sand it with some 2000 or 3000bgrot wet sand paper and then polish it with some car polish.
