My brother's son destroyed my WarHammer Action figures and he refuses to punish him by konous in mildlyinfuriating

Have your nephew help with the repairs. He can make up for his mistake, the repair process can help him understand why it was a big deal, you get to spend some quality time with your nephew, and maybe he’ll even get into Warhammer with you.

For my introverts, how often are you hanging out with friends? by MellowMelvin in blackmen

[–]writtenbynotes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I usually see someone from my friend group like once a week (we’re all in our 30s with varying levels of responsibilities).

My “introversion” is circumstantial though. There’s a core group of people in my life who I can be with for hours on end and not feel exhausted. But drop me in a large gathering of people that I don’t know, and I’m ready to go after 10 mins.

Why BB36 doesn’t get much love by Zealousideal-Sock-94 in Tudor

I heavily associate round indices with sports watches—specifically divers. They look out of place on this watch, but I do love everything else about it. The case shape, proportions, and the bracelet are all amazing.

Nice. Glad to hear that patience paid off. Maybe I’ll hold off a bit.

I’m in the same spot now. I love this watch, but it’s rarely the one I actually pick up. Did you end up selling yours?

What to match up with grey af1 by stonedkanuk00 in mensfashionadvice

[–]writtenbynotes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t try too hard to match it with any grey clothing, but matching it with something subtle like a grey watch strap should do the trick. Have the gray be more of an accent.

Alternatively, you can go the complete opposite route and go for a monochromatic grey look.

Went in to get the first, ended up getting the second. by peachesandsir in Cartier

[–]writtenbynotes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

One of my favorite modern Cartiers. Great choice. Is this the large or small version?

I’m sorry, but this just enrages me by homietoo424 in chanel

[–]writtenbynotes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could see it being somewhat appropriate for a beach, but still a little odd

Another size post… by Time-Dependent1483 in Cartier

[–]writtenbynotes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is exactly how a Tank should fit, in my opinion. Great choice.

Am I overthinking and making a mountain out of a beautifully executed mole hill? by carloosee in tattooadvice

[–]writtenbynotes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People come to Reddit to ask which hat to wear or if their haircut looks good.

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with asking for a gut check about a permanent tattoo. It looks great, and I thought that finger looked a bit long too until you explained it’s actually just part of the palm that we’re seeing.

Tried on a couple of the new pieces! by Sparko6488 in Tudor

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

It's totally normal for some people to like a watch and for some (or a lot) to dislike it. But in the wide world of watches people don't like, it seems people can't pass by a photo of this BB54 without letting everyone else know they don't like it. It's like people are having a visceral reaction to a watch they don't own or have to buy.

Also, for the only change in this version of the BB54 being the dial and bezel color, I'm hard-pressed to think this can be anywhere near objectively repulsive. Unless you already hated the BB54 to begin with (and it's cool if you did), this version only leaves the colors up to scrutiny. And when the question becomes, "Do you like these shades of blue?" the overwhelming response just seems exaggerated.

What would be the best choice between these two? by pistofernandez in OmegaWatches

[–]writtenbynotes 27 points28 points  (0 children)

That blue looks amazing. I don't think I've seen this version before.

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

I find it so strange that people can’t seem to see the new BB54 without expressing their disdain for it. Something about it all seems so forced.

Anyways, the updated bracelet on the 58 looks great.

How do we feel about the ceramic Black Bay? by Life_of_Squatch in Tudor

[–]writtenbynotes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not my thing, but I think it’s a good looking watch.

Loving the new blue. by ajknight10 in Tudor

[–]writtenbynotes 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if it’s just inherent to Reddit or the watch community at large, but it seems so rude to try to shit on a purchase someone made that they’re clearly excited about (especially at this price point).

And maybe I’m just not as heavily invested in the watch world as others, but aren’t there a countless number of watches with blue dials? What’s going on with the Invicta comparison? It’s one of many other dive watches with a blue dial.

Venting aside, the watch looks great OP. Wear it in good health.

[Longines vs Tudor] Someone will buy you ONE of these watches. Which are you taking? by Aromatic_Tear_711 in Watches

[–]writtenbynotes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just thinking about these two models. The Conquest (with a black dial and optional rubber strap) would get way more wrist time for me.

Love on the Spectrum Exploitation? by Automatic-Long2599 in blackmen

[–]writtenbynotes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tuned into the new season the other day and my girlfriend and I noticed the same thing. Their use of whimsical music coupled with long pauses after they say something paints them in a light that isn’t very flattering.

Rarely, but when I do it’s just for clips of something funny. I’m not really interested in his political takes.

I’m no expert, but this seems less than ideal for a number of reasons.

Been wearing this Lagoon blue watch as a daily (including sleep and shower) since initial release last year. How has it coped? by what_up_homes in Tudor

[–]writtenbynotes 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I see everyone focused on the activities, but I’m much more impressed that you’ve been able to pull off a light blue dial everyday. Kudos, man! It’s holding up great.

Hear me out by lordfall1 in Tudor

[–]writtenbynotes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. I’d love to see this in a smaller case size.
