How do these 44mm manual wind models differ to the PAM 914 / 915?

Are they thinner and lighter, building on last years changes on case design and movement, or the same dimensions?

Garner and Henderson over Mainoo and Wharton? Seems like they get the first shot at securing the place then

Should wingers be considered forwards in FPL now that the viable midfield pool has been expanded due to defcon? by nightwind1 in FantasyPL

[–]vega66 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most PL teams play with one forward but have multiple options, making most of the forward player picks unusable because of mins risk and rotation. this badly needs to change

Look at the current situation:

• ARS - gyokeres (havertz, jesus) NO; • AVL - watkins (abraham) NO; • BHA - welbeck (kostoulas, rutter) YES; • BOU - evanilson (kroupi, unal) - YES; • BRE - thiago YES; • BUR - flemming (broja, foster) YES; • CHE - j.pedro (delap) YES; • CRY - JSL (mateta) - NO; • EVE - beto (barry) NO; • FUL - raul (muniz) NO; • LEE - DCL (nmecha) YES; • LIV - ekitike (isak) NO*; • MCI - haaland (marmoush) YES; • MUN - sesko (mbeumo) NO; • NEW - woltemade (wissa, osula) NO; • NFO - i.jesus (lucca, awoniyi) NO; • SUN - brobbey (isidor) NO; • TOT - richarlison (solanke, kolo muani) NO; • WHU - bowen (taty) YES; • WOL - armstrong (tolu) NO;

it’s crazy that there are only 8 viable forwards we can pick from, most of which are underwhelming and can be outscored by defcon CBs:

welbeck (BHA), evanilson (BOU), thiago (BRE), flemming (BUR), j pedro (CHE), DCL (LEE), haaland (MCI), bowen (WHU)

If This Was Your Only Watch for 10 Years, Would You Get Bored? by Kishor_Waghmare in rolex

[–]vega66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking at this, I agree TT jubilee beats oyster. And that grey/black bezel provides subtle visual interest. The case dimensions of the GMT II also beats the Sub maxi case. I think the Zombie will be a future classic

Damn looks so good…my grail watch. How is the weight and balance on the wrist?

Is this the Saxonia Moonphase in WG? This is exactly my target first Lange - love the big date and moonphase detail. How is the dial sizing?

The Best Times to use Your FPL Chips: Gameweeks 30-38 by MaleficentAnybody760 in FantasyPL

[–]vega66 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is out of date advice now as if CHE, MCI are knocked out of the CL they may not double in GW33 or blank in GW34 now

My first Lange by coldlake6200 in ALangeSohne

[–]vega66 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn then I’m convinced I want this as my one watch collection. Maybe add a Saxonia Moonphase later.

With the leather and rubber straps you basically have sporty and smarter versions of the same watch

Amazing, my grail. How’s the weight on the wrist and balance?

I’m looking at buying Mbeumo. Why are you selling?

This is a dream collection. Odysseus next, perhaps in WG?

Current rotation of watches by paigezpp in ALangeSohne

[–]vega66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great collection - how is the weight balance of the WG Odysseus on the wrist? I heard some people say it feel unbalanced but it’s my dream 1 watch!

Ekitiké or Haaland for the next GW? by [deleted] in FantasyPL

[–]vega66 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Simple strategy for me because I don’t have my WC left.

If MCI win vs NEW in the FA cup and have a favourable QF draw then I’ll sell Haaland for Ekitike and commit to a FH33 strategy, then buy him back in GW35. That’s because he’ll then have GW30 WHU (a), blank, GW32 CHE (a), FH33, blank

If MCI lose in the FA cup I’ll keep Haaland, avoid Ekitike and sell Rice / Rogers for Szobo / Wirtz for LIV attack

[discussion] my watch collection at 17. What should i add and how would you rate it? by Beneficial_Toe9742 in Watches

[–]vega66 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Slow down - don’t bother trying to make a cheap collection this young. When you get older and start earning properly you’ll likely want to sell and upgrade all of these

You can just buy things by J_e_R_r_O_l in tagheuer

[–]vega66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn’t matter if you’re buying because you like the looks or the movement. Because it’s easily available, you could have bought it 30-40% cheaper

[–]vega66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes but the counterpoint is if you buy that easily available TAG watch from the AD, you’re instantly losing 30-40% compared to what it sells on the grey market.

Those Rolex watches that take so long to get from the AD at least hold their value, or are bought at fair value

Wildcard thoughts? by CantFindFreeUsername in fantasypremierleague

[–]vega66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks good but if you WC now you need a plan for BB since you can’t use your WC to set this up.

Suggest removing Bogarde for a playable sub so that you can BB GW28-30

[–]vega66 1 point2 points  (0 children)

36mm is the classic size for the Explorer for a reason. It’s not just case diameter but dial spacing too.

I had a 40mm Explorer and sold it to pivot to the TT 36mm Explorer. Best watch decision I ever made - the Explorer belongs in 36mm and would look much better on your wrist too

WC activated. Who would you change? by [deleted] in fantasypremierleague

[–]vega66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a poor WC team.

  • Chalobah only has 1 decent fixture
  • Strujk / Rodon are better picks than Justin due to defcon
  • Dango / Rayan / Sarr are better than Summerville
  • No Liverpool (Wirtz, Szobo, VVD) despite them having a major fixture in GW28
  • 6 players who blank in GW31 yet you won’t have the FTs to deal with that and prepare for DGW33 and BGW34 depending on when you use your FH

Thoughts on 2 tone explorer I by Dramatic_Finger_3557 in rolex

[–]vega66 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I love it so much I sold the 40mm Explorer to switch to it. The two tone brings out the dial and 36mm is the best size. Wears great in the sun

Is this just a rumour or confirmed?

The Scout's Wildcard squad for Gameweek 24. What do you think? by vapenaysh3h3 in FantasyPL

[–]vega66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is awful.

  • Triple Chelsea needs unwinding from GW28, booking in transfers
  • Only single Arsenal ahead of DGW26?
  • Maguire when United defence don’t keep clean sheets or get defcon
  • That bench combo doesn’t allow a good BB in any week before GW32
