Mechanic, I use my watch to tell the time funnily enough, the diving bezel is used multiple times a day to time when I need to know how much time is left until X thing happens.

commented on Brands that have such a stupid name and/or logo you don't even wanna look at them ·

So I figure I'm in the minority here because I couldn't care less what the dial says on it, at worst I think the name is funny and at best it's inoffensive. I mean when I look at my own name I can't really fault anything for having a bad name anyway. I'd even happily buy @Pallet_Fork 's Turd Wipe because that would give me a solid chuckle everytime I look at the time.

Hello, could you tell me where you got that textured zelos dial? I might be interested for a future build

commented on Why do people think not buying homages means spending big money? ·

I thought the point of this post was to not bring up money, you say "little money" While also mentioning 500£, so okay, 500£. 500£ is roughly 590€ in my neighborhood, that represents about a week of work for me so around 70-80h. With that amount of money I can feed my wife and myself for a little more than a month and have enough money spare to also pay the water and electric bill, and after that I don't have any money left. If it's a month where I manage to work 2 weeks instead it's a good month and I can pay for food, utilities, rent, and maybe also my vehicle's insurance. My point is, what you call "that little money" is just living money for me, my last 3 watch purchases were paid by the money I earned selling watches because for the last 4 months I can just about afford to pay all my monthly charges. That's fine for me I'm not looking to attract pity or anything it's how I chose to live my life and I'm okay with it. Back to the conversation, okay let's assume I managed to save up 300€ over a couple months, what are my options, either I can have a lucky find of a diver that I want used, or I can go vintage and then have to factor in the cost of refurbishing to make it water tight, or maybe I can go on aliexpress, see something that has a cool design that catches my eye, and still have 200€ left to buy another cool design that caught my eye. What you are saying right now, to me it feels like you are saying "if you don't have enough money you don't deserve to wear a watch" and I think that's unfair and it makes me sad, that you don't want us less fortunate guys sitting at your table.

Recently sold my 71 green dial, and my little dressy piece, only one left is this one.

Aaah this is exactly what I want, hopefully they'll still be making them by the time I can afford one, love that blue, it shows even better in real life than it does on pictures.
