As you may have noticed, we we're offline this morning. This was caused by the "Thanks" plug-in going rogue and using up way too many server resources. This triggered an automatic suspension by our hosting provider as they thought it was a malicious attack. The "Thanks" plug-in has been disabled, hopefully temporarily so I can determine if that was indeed the cause, and take steps to prevent it from happening in the future.
I apologize for the disruption and for any confusion that may have caused.

I'm definitely with you on speedmasters. Even if someone gave me one I think I'd just sell it. SO played out at this point.
Not so much a confession, just something that bugs me. When watching watch review videos, I often see the host mention that the watch has hacking. They proceed to hack the watch when the seconds hand is at like 25 and them set the time. These videos are edited, can you really not wait until it hits 60 and edit it out? Or do people actually set the time with the seconds hand so far off? Heathens.

Lol I set my watch wherever the seconds hand happens to be. I never bother setting the time to even within 30 seconds of accuracy since I'll be wearing a different one the next day
Unless it's quartz or digital, then I whip out the atomic clock.

This would drive me crazy...I am one who tries to set to the precise second even on non-hacking watches. If it’s off by a second, I reset it. I enjoy seeing how many seconds off a watch is by end of day.

You tell 'em, Dub!
I'll confess that my wife is getting something for my Speedmaster for Father's Day. She said that she wanted to give me something that I wanted, would use and would mean something. Oh, and wasn't too expensive.
My real confession is that I hate it when I grab the bezel on a dive watch to time something only to find that it is straight up top or bottom of the hour . I feel like the watch gods are laughing and pointing at me.

I bet it's a watch winder! [emoji23]
Just kidding bud. But that's something my wife would for sure do, buy a winder for a hand cranker.
Looking forward to what it is! P.S. your wife sounds awesome.

[mention]Dub Rubb[/mention] beat me to it. I was gonna spam the thread with Speedy pics. Hahahaha
Earlier today I was admiring the beauty of my watch for so long that I was a bit late for an online call. So apparently I look at watches but not the time.
