My bad I didn’t mean the Erika’s originals, those are stupid expensive for what they are.

Check out the Watch Steward. Those imo are the best bang for your buck when it comes to these style of straps.

I personally like MN straps better. They look like nato straps but way more comfortable.

Wow interesting. TIL that some people prefer pressure washing their ass hole, instead of wiping.

I will say though that I’m convinced the toilet paper at my work is actually 1000 grit sand paper. It’s a bit of a miserable experience so I can see why a bidet is preferred at times.

Is it weird having water sprayed in your ass like that? Also how do you dry, you just pull your pants up with wet ass cheeks?

Probably should have led with the fact that Kevin is a dog…

I wish I knew what any of this meant…

Ah gotcha ok, I didn’t realize it was tritium. I’ve never owned a tritium watch.

My problem is that I love both good lume and vintage style watches. The Venn diagram between those two things has very little overlap lol.

I’ve found a couple that are pretty good, but it’s uncommon.

That’s awesome man. I don’t know why but bad lume is a major deal breaker for me, especially on 2k+ Swiss watches.

I find it egregious that a $150 heimdallr can offer insane lume that lasts all night, and the big Swiss names often times get away with providing lume that’s complete shit.

I can’t tell you how many watches I haven’t bought solely because the lume sucks on it.

That’s probably not a bad thing though! lol

Yeah I agree. Honestly I never thought this way when I first got in to watches.

I wouldn’t call myself a watch snob by any means, but I now understand how people become one.

The more you immerse yourself in the world of watches, YouTube reviews, etc, it seems like the less able you are to appreciate a quartz movement, which is objectively better in many ways.

I noticed that I also appreciate heritage a lot more now, and don’t like mods or homages nearly as much as I used to, although I still have a few that I’ve built myself.

What the hell is happening to me? Lol

I’m really digging the stick style lume plots here.

My first serious watch was a Casio Oceanus titanium S-100. Really an amazing watch for the money. I eventually ended up selling it, but those watches are hard to beat for the money if you don’t mind a quartz.

It looks pretty incredible upscaled through emulation actually. I know it’s not the same as playing on original hardware, but I was really surprised by how good it looks.
