re: Gen Z is weird and has no shame (gym)
Posted by Newc on 3/13/24 at 11:59 am
There is a fine Gen Z lass, always in bicycle shorts / sports bra, that sets up her tri pod and works her glutes exclusively. Tri pod is set up where I would have set up her tri pod. I try my best not to gawk but it is near impossible not to look. It is exceptionally strange and, in this instance...
re: Watch Nerds. Glaschuttes Original?
Posted by Newc on 12/14/23 at 2:32 pm
I’m strangely interested in the 1908. I went with another dress watch in the short term but that yellow gold, black dial 1908 seems like a great every day dress option....

I have two qualms with the PML - 1, it wears like a thick dinner plate; and 2, it feels exceedingly derivative of the Lange 1 moonphase. Yeah, I know, the Lange 1 moonphase is significantly more expensive. But I would also venture to say it is very significantly better....

GO makes a solid watch. The SeaQ is nice. My tastes on size skew towards the regular SeaQ, not the iteration that you linked with the Panorama Date. But if the size is to your taste, and you are looking for an off the beaten path diver, it is a good option....
re: Blackberry Farm/Blackberry Mountain

Never been to Blackberry Mountain, but I have been to Blackberry Farm and the sister property, High Hampton.
Yes, it is expensive. But I have never regretted a stay. I would highly recommend it....
re: What hobbies have you acquired in your 30's or after?
Posted by Newc on 10/3/23 at 9:06 pm
Watches - always had an interest, but I am pretty, pretty, pretty deep down the rabbit hole.
Skimo.
Photography - nice way to enjoy other hobbies.
Cooking - something to do on a daily basis.

re: 2023-2024 Ski Thread

You can ski down the gondola line if you take the firebreak gate off of Olympic, if my memory serves me correctly. In good conditions, it is fun tree skiing (maybe the best skiing at Heavenly)....
re: Would you say that your hobbies make your life bearable?
Posted by Newc on 9/21/23 at 7:13 am
My hobbies and interests - and, relatedly, the constant research behind those interests - gives immense value to my life. I enjoy my job, although it is stressful, and I love my family, although family pressures can at times be overwhelming (childcare, expenses, school, etc.). The time I spend on ...
re: Swatch Group finna dilute another of its brands
Posted by Newc on 9/2/23 at 9:44 pm
Size, principally. Make them less blingy, and brush the case. Take Blancpain off the side of the case.
4:30 date is awful.
Lots of vintage inspiration to pull from.

I think this watch from Baltic, a french microbrand, would be a good call:

Here is the silver dial:

re: Another watch thread - Speedy Pro cal. 3861
Posted by Newc on 7/12/23 at 11:57 am
Get the hesalite. The hesalite adds a warmth to the dial that you do not get with the sapphire. I have had mine for more than a decade (1861) and I have yet to polish the acrylic....
re: Watch experts: What do you think of Cartier for men?
Posted by Newc on 7/12/23 at 9:46 am
All in all, it is a fantastic brand.
The inexpensive stuff, ie, Tank Solo, is not too impressive, but the Cartier Santos - particularly in medium - is a really great option.
Cartier shines once you go a little higher. The Tank LC is always a classic choice, and I love the Cartier Privee colle...
re: 2023-2024 Ski Thread
Posted by Newc on 6/16/23 at 11:16 am
I'm ready. Ski trip with the family likely in February or March. Need to figure out the details, but probably the Beave or Telluride or something kid friendly.
Then, I am trying to plan a solo trip. Right now, I am vacillating between the Wapta or Bow-to-Yoho Traverses, and have a few days at ...
re: OT watch aficionados - getting something nice quickly
Posted by Newc on 6/16/23 at 8:57 am
Wow. It is crazy to think of a relative owning a watch like that. I only spent some time with it in an auction preview, so admittedly, it was not the greatest experience.
Photos, I agree. But in your hand, I think anyone would assume the RRCCII is special. In my experience, many of the watche...
re: OT watch aficionados - getting something nice quickly
Posted by Newc on 6/15/23 at 10:15 pm
It’s kind of funny, I used to want a Dufour but I tried one recently and I did not feel the way that I thought I would feel. I have a KV on the way, and that felt more impressive to me when I visited. Not to say that Dufour is not amazing, but I don’t know, I didn’t feel the way I thought I would....
re: OT watch aficionados - getting something nice quickly
Posted by Newc on 6/15/23 at 4:36 pm
What do you want your high-end watch to look like? Do you have anything in mind, other than it be expensive?
If you give us an idea of what you are looking for, then perhaps a budget find can be made.
I'll square with you though, this entire concept seems silly....
