  1. I wasn't aware of the etymology, that's interesting. The straps are incredibly well made. Not cheap but for nice watches it's definitely nice to have a well made strap.
  2. New Cedric Bellon CB01 Small Seconds Titanium Strap by Montreux Straps and it's fantastic. FKM Rubber and way cheaper than alot of other brands. Horus charges a couple hundred dollars and these are $45. I actually like them more... Slight thinner and more pliable and more comfortable. Still really well made. I have the normal size and it is almost too big for my 7" wrist.
  3. A couple new straps from The Veblenist for the Nicholas Hacko MKII. Great quality of your looking to upgrade. Howard makes some amazing straps.
  4. Anyone looking for a nicely done chronograph which also has a dual time inner rotating bezel, these are really nicely done for $325. Quite a few different color options. Meca-quartz movement. Bracelet may be a little extra but so under $400.
  5. I haven't ever actually seen one in person. I've heard decent things. I can ask around. Are you only looking at quartz?
  6. And a lume shot... Incredible lume on these. This is the MP45, the first shots were the M100.
  7. Antoine like Vertex? Great watches. Also just ordered this strap from Black Isle Leatherworks... Fantastic.
  8. Really cool stuff!
  9. I saw several trucks driving out I-10 West Sunday before the storm. I'm assuming they were staging until the storm ended.
  10. Good to see them actually begin delivering. I would like this to go to $10 please. [emoji28]
  11. Probably a tree guy driving around to find people who need trees removed. Just had one stop by my house.
  12. Definitely agree on Direnzo.
  13. My daughter's team won the Midwest Moxie tournament in Cincinnati. That played sloppy and lost in the Semifinals in the Vail tournament earlier this week. Sucks because they were in first after bracket play and lost to a team they had already beaten pretty handily.
  14. Jesus Christ what an epic choke by Rory.
  15. Fuck Peacock and NBC. I'm not signing up for another streaming service especially when NBC has a channel fucking dedicated to golf. Fuck them, leveraging sports events to get people to sign up for their shit streaming channel. Where's the enshittening thread.
  16. Reverso and Cartier Santos/Tank/Must are all classics. DMed you but the new Hermès Cut looks fantastic. Also Nomos Tetra.
  17. Farer is great. I'd say it's on the cut line of about $1,000. Could go either place. I'd take this over the Citizen above.
  18. Zelos makes good affordable watches. I like this one from Direnzo as my current burnt orange affordable watch.
  19. The front
  20. One of the better looking movements. Platinum Microrotor
  21. If you're willing to look beyond major brands check out RZE. https://www.rzewatches.com/ Fully titanium case and bracelet for under $700. Lightweight, clean modern look, comfortable, on the fly adjustment on the bracelet, good lume. Comes with an UltraHex coating on the titanium which increases the hardness and reduces wear and tear. Field, Dive, Pilot style watches available. The first photo of the Endeavour has a GS White Birch style dial, but they have more traditional dials. The Resolute Pro comes with enamel dials which look great. That's the second photo. Two other brands to look at are Direnzo and Nodus. Direnzo DRZ03 https://direnzowatches.com/drz-03-v2/?v=77c15b8369ec Nodus https://www.noduswatches.com/sector-series
  22. The Delugs CTS straps aren't inexpensive but are pretty fantastic.
  23. Fire now, I agree. But the opportunity to monetize will be there eventually as Elon continues to deconstruct Twitter. It may take a few years, but it will definitely happen. The allure will be too strong.
  24. WTF... Seems like something is missing here.
  25. One of my favorite microbrands, Formex. Most of their watches probably fall into the other thread, but this Field comes in a little under $1,000.
