What’s your dominant hand and on which wrist do you wear your watch?

I was just thinking about this and wondered if it has a causation or correlation with more dinged up watches. Hmmm. Anyhoo, how do you wear your watch? What’s most comfortable to you? 🤔 Vote and disc...

Nah I never get into a watch conversation with strangers except on the internet. 😂 For me it’s as uncomfortable using a public bathroom and someone swaggers in selects the urinal next to me and loudly proclaims ‘NICE DICK, BUDDY!’ 🤷‍♂️ 😳

commented on 104 just in... plus some advice ·

Stunning! Great choice. 😊👌

commented on Why are non-hacking watches still made? ·

I kno, bro. Drives me up the wall! I shake my SKX007 vigorously as the seconds on my phone match and can almost get a good set. It blew my mind that my 2017 Speedmaster doesn’t hack, I had never read about that before. That one can back hack, but that’s a proper pain in the backside especially for a space tool! 🤣

Oh yeah, I’m not reading those without the varifocals on 🤓 😂

commented on Dial-Ruining Date Windows - A Rant ·

Yeah, if the date complication hadn’t been invented, I wouldn’t have missed it. I don’t mind a date at 6 at all, but 3 and 4:34-ish dates don’t do it for me, but I tolerate it at 4:34-ish over the date at 3. None of these are a deal-breaker tho. The 4:34-is date is at that position because companies use a 3-o’clock date wheel, not one set up specifically for 4:30 which requires a specially designed date wheel, so when I see a dial matched date they sits right on 4:30, I actually appreciate the thought and care behind it. 

commented on OG Nato vs single pass ·

Copy pasta from another recent thread about NATO straps:

Beware Phoenix, their lengths are inconsistent, the length of the under-strap is inconsistent to the point I’ve had to cut them off for being too short, the holes pull, they retain creases and look like you’ve worn them twenty years non-stop after five minutes use…

I LOVE THEM! 🥰

Hope that helps. 😂
