Keep my straps name out yo fu*ken mouth 😩

I'm guilty of that with my seagul 1963 way too many times, though to me NATOs are extremely comfortable and I don't mind how they look. Not much into leather even in my day to day, as it feel slightly uncomfortable to me.

commented on What's your personal favorite watch case material? ·

I've only tried stainless steel, brass and silver, with stainless steel still being my favorite. Haven't tried Ti for a watch, though I own multiplr jewlery pieces and bracelets that are made of Ti that I love. I guess we'll have to wait and see. As for gold I was never a fan of it throughout my life maybe that can be attributed my religious upbringing, but I just usually thinks it either looks like piss (24K) or dull as shit (14~18K). Never even seen platinium before except in my graduation thesis (we used it as a reference electrode).

commented on What other hobbies do you have besides watches? ·

I tried to get into razors but sadly didn't go that far, though I still wanna expand what I already have. I currently have only one good quality shaver being the merkur futur.

On another note I do collect stones and gemstones.

This was some of the lot I got in a market at old cairo.
