What a great choice for your first watch, wear it with pride!

I've always been suspicious of these Chinese homage brands, but admittedly I know next to nothing about them. How does your watch wear from day to day? Is it comfortable? Does it feel good and sturdy? How long have you had it?
Thank you for linking the text. For anyone wondering, here is Ch. 2, Article 11 regarding portable battery replacement:
Article 11 Removability and replaceability of portable batteries
- Portable batteries incorporated in appliances shall be readily removable and replaceable by the end-user or by independent operators during the lifetime of the appliance, if the batteries have a shorter lifetime than the appliance, or at the latest at the end of the lifetime of the appliance. A battery is readily replaceable where, after its removal from an appliance, it can be substituted by a similar battery, without affecting the functioning or the performance of that appliance.
- The obligations set out in paragraph 1 shall not apply where (a) continuity of power supply is necessary and a permanent connection between the appliance and the portable battery is required for safety, performance, medical or data integrity reasons; or (b) the functioning of the battery is only possible when the battery is integrated into the structure of the appliance.
- The Commission shall adopt guidance to facilitate harmonised application of the derogations set out in paragraph 2
If this was a way mods would actually protest, wouldn't it make sense to say who is saying it? They removed all attribution, all indication of votes, or any example of a subreddit actually doing it. Maybe I'm jaded from my many years on reddit, but I always get suspicious when I see a post like this that it could be a fake post or something.
With that said, if moderators actually did set their subs, like /r/aww to nsfw, that would be pretty funny.
Not wanting to link to reddit makes sense.
Though I would say, I would take something more seriously if a Reddit admin or a mod from a dozen subreddits said it. That would add lot more significance to a post like this. If it was from a highly upvoted post, then it's be more likely a form of protest that reddit mods might have seen or even decide to take seriously.
When I don't see any attribution I can't help but think it's just OP faking a post or just trying to get attention for themselves instead of just posting a text post to discuss the idea. Maybe I'm just jaded from my days on reddit though.
What's up with people posting screenshots of text here? Are these screenshots of things random no name redditors are saying on reddit? Are these pictures of posts that are getting tons of upvotes or significant in any sort of way?
It looks like people's comments are coming back because they didn't get deleted. From discussion in other threads and on HN, it looks like the comment deletion scripts can't delete comments from subreddits while they are privated.
If you tried deleting comments during the blackout and then some of those unprivated, you would expect to see those comments again.
There is a lot to be upset with Reddit about, but this doesn't seem to be one of them. (at least based on what I've seen)
I love the black bay gmt, definitely one of the ones I'm going to get one day. Tudor makes such great watches!
