Ever buy a practice strap? (Plus what do we think about suede?) 🤷🏽‍♂️

So, I have a (maybe wierd, maybe perfectly normal - hence the post 🤪) habit of buying “practice straps” I get an idea of what might look good on a pi...

Love the new(ish!) SuperOceans 😅👍🏻 A fine choice sir

A reverso would indeed be a fine addition. Doesn’t look like you got a white dial so maybe a step in that direction?? 🤷👍🏻

commented on Beef between Britt Pearce & Oisin O'Malley ·

It is dude. Seems the OP has literally just joined to bring the drama here from his little corner of the interwebs.

She’s not a vicar as Oisin points out… she’s a youth pastor. 

Which boggles my mind a little, but then not at the same time. 

Her channel has turned from openly drunken, largely incoherent, valley-girl ramblings on watches that her husband bought for her, to well produced, moronic and incoherent ramblings on watches and the watch market to drive herchannel growth and income generation. All pretty bleurgh to be Frank.

This is the worst part of Oisin coming out. At his best he’s an artistic, deep, creative force with a great eye for storytelling and a real passion for collecting. Some of his longform travel / documentary style vids are absolutely stupendous (sienna, dambusters, interstellar etc) 

That said he’s an opinionated and wounded guy too, who can’t help but get into drama (there was a kick off with Nico a few months back) and he leaks a lot of hurt through his channel and livestreams.

As others have said… try to stay out of other peoples drama.

YES, mate!!! Fantastic acquisition!!! Tried on the black version in Leeds a year ago and have thought about it often. That movement is from another world and in such an attractive and well made package… YIKES!!  Anyway, really made up for you (can you tell) 🥂

I hear you. 

As I read through the comments those talking about price are probably about 50:50 in terms of those saying "what I'd pay for A collab" and "what I'd pay for THIS watch"... 

Even those in the former camp however boggle my mind a bit though, as you have to operate from a huge set of assumptions about what a collab "should" be in order to arrive at that super-specific price point. 

Which basically boxes it into "can we just get an aliexpress spesh / San Martin with a watchcrunch logo, please?" Which just disappoints me a bit personally. 

I'll have to get over that disappointment tho, as someone who works in market research, I never fail to be shocked and surprised at the realities of how people think... and then realise that it's a massive mistake for the provider to try to 'change' that; as generally it's much better to just 'give the people what they want'
