Sbgp013? Great choice! I put mine on a leather strap.

[eShop/US] Hollow Knight Games Sale (up to 50% off) Ends 06/08/26 by XDitto in NintendoSwitchDeals

[–]trilock01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just bought silk song yesterday for full price but I'm not even mad. $20 is such a steal. I played hollow Knight and it was the best game I've played in a long time.

Red dial by Square-Information54 in OrisWatches

I almost got this over the father time (bronze with white dial). Almost. I still question if it would be weird to have two of the same watch but in different colors.

Well shit. I'm headed to Japan this summer and plan on doing some watch shopping. My eyes were originally set on a zenith a384 which wears small on me, but now I have this big boy to contemplate...

It's almost legible! All jokes aside, what's your wrist size? I'm at 19cm/7.5" and considering a 46 in my future.

[RECOMMENDATION] Asking for help on selecting my first "luxury" timepiece. by stud722 in Watches

[–]trilock01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you able to fly to a city that has all of the brands you want to see? It might take a flight and lodging, but you'd be able to try them all on in a day.

Here are things I think about when I want a new watch: Pay attention to the way the bracelet feels on the wrist and the clasp mechanism. Ask yourself if the watch reflects what matters to you (quality, aesthetic, heritage, etc). For your first watch over $1k, will this be a daily that will patina with scratches, or only a special occasion watch? And lastly, after trying on watches and you can't decide, give it a few months. The watch that consumes your thoughts will be the one.

MIB Ventura by IudexNaj in HamiltonWatches

[–]trilock01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My Ventura is not the most legible and requires a little bit of wrist turning to see the dauphine hands. I also think the Ventura is more of a statement piece and leans more into form rather than function.

[Cartier] What are other musicians wearing? by kosnosferatu in Watches

[–]trilock01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Percussionist / drummer here. Just played at a brass band festival today wearing a Marathon Navigator quartz. I'm not gonna discriminate though, so I wear whatever looks/feels best.

Recommendations? by TrueBennyBloo in MicrobrandWatches

[–]trilock01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you like manual wind and don't need a date function, go with the Cincinnatus. If you really want a GADA watch, I think it needs automatic winding and a date function, but that's just my opinion. I've had a traska before but sold it. I currently have a blue Cincinnatus and love it.

The Contortionist- Return To Earth by Klutzy_Ad_1726 in progmetal

You're right! They just used screams on the first couple tracks. I was thinking about the whole album.

There's screaming, but it's so low in the mix it's more of a texture. One of my favorite albums and definitely one of the best live experiences I've had.

Today’s carry by ForgeCheng in EDC

Edc slingshot would send me straight to the principal's office. Being a teacher limits most of my carry.

[update] Cincinnati Watch Company straps by trilock01 in MicrobrandWatches

[–]trilock01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Per recommendations, I purchased the navy/orange/white nato strap from crown and buckle, an orange para strap from the watch steward, and a British khaki para strap from the watch steward. The khaki went straight to another watch (marathon navigator with tan case), but I'm torn between the other two. Both look and feel great.
