I’m all for novelties…

… but come on, $800 US for a Sega Genesis NH35 jump hour? I think this might be a little bit on the high side. As a gentleman who grew up with the Meg...

You have no idea… it’s a Polar Star that looks like a SeaQ, at 0.001% of the price.

You clearly missed the joke… “this platform”. You’re also not up on the #1wc challenge either.

PS:

You’ve clearly never read anything I’ve listed on the platform. Real men wear 28mm in 7 1/2” wrists.

#1wc

@Aurelian and I would agree, maybe not the Tudors…

Fuuuuck! Beat me to it. Still counts.

Definitely too small for your wrist, and @Aurelian would agree with me. #1wc Despite nearly a century to the counter, real men don’t wear anything less than 42mm on this platform.

commented on Help me! Original of Fake? ·

I’m veering toward fake, but they are not tiny differences - the chronograph dials are too small, and the Scuba didn’t have an exhibition caseback. Bvlgari on the dial is slightly small and slightly too low. The movement looks a bit cheap under the rotor, and the rotor finish is sketchy,

I’d avoid.
