Stealthlobo Posted December 12, 2022 Author Share Posted December 12, 2022 Another country, another watch! Finally found the black ceramic Tudor black bay and the GMT pro! Didn't like the pro, but really liked the ceramic. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stealthlobo Posted December 12, 2022 Author Share Posted December 12, 2022 @TheSanDiegan changing subject a bit, but couldnt find the "shoes/style" thread. I'm looking at upgrading my winter shoes and here in Austria found an amazing brand (I think). I respect your knowledge on this shit, and was wondering if you've heard of Ludwig Reiter? The quality and style look amazing, but it is a hefty price... https://www.ludwig-reiter.com/de/herren/pelzschuhe-herren-hw21.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as a bonus, their 19th century roots are a win by any standard IMO. Lastly, in my experience, I've always - always - regretted not buying something I was drawn to when the opportunity was ephemeral, and conversely, I have never regretted making the purchase in said occasions. tl;dr: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bitteraztec Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 @TheSanDiegan What are your thoughts on the Aqua Terra for a diver style watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO it's the king of GADA (go anywhere-do anything) watches. If I was starting from scratch and purchasing just one watch, it would be an AT in one form or another. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I definitely will be watching this company for a long time. Thanks for giving me the "goodyear" term that I threw out in my conversation with the sales associate! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stealthlobo Posted December 13, 2022 Author Share Posted December 13, 2022 Went to a cool vintage watch store here in Salzburg today. Owner finds old watches and restores them personally. Really interesting to see. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much vintage watch porn I'm surprised I didn't see a big hairy bush complication. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stealthlobo Posted January 9, 2023 Author Share Posted January 9, 2023 Switched the strap for a cheap rubber one on my "Sun" Moonswatch and the miss's "Pluto". Much more comfortable than the stock one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slapdad Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 I finally got around to replacing the TAG that was stolen out of my car a few years ago. The updated Link has been getting some good press and had me wishing that I still had mine, so I had to remedy that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He says the Hibiki is really smooth and a great example of good Japanese distilling. He said the notes are from his wife. She doesn't like whiskey but tastes each new one he brings home and rights a review. He's keeping all the reviews as a little personal journal. Pretty cool IMO. He sent me this pic next. He kinda reminds me of you with all your cool artifacts and art from around the world. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always liked the black face with diamonds at the numbers. My first one was an engagement gift from my then fiancé and now ex-wife, so it’s probably for the best that it’s a different watch.
