Re: Pet peeves about watches
Maybe they saw the thing Buzz Aldrin has connecting his gold and stainless Omegas on one bracelet...because that's about how messed up that looks.Dub Rubb wrote: ↑Thu Jul 25, 2019 12:06 am So Mrs. Dub Rubb has now gained an appreciation for watches thanks to me. Unfortunately, she did not gain the same tastes. She thinks this Cartier is "timeless" and "elegant". I think the wonky crown that throws off the entire dial is bad enough, but WTF is with having gold center links on the bracelet for only HALF of the bracelet?!?!? Are you kidding me?!?
I also briefly explained to her several reasons why she should go quartz.
1) she WILL be late everywhere all the time( my watch said 8:00 but I haven't worn it for weeks)
2)service costs(what do you mean service, why?!?) An exact quote.
3)it's just jewelry, might as well have something I can change a battery in.
But most of all, for me at least, that half assed bracelet attempt. Are you effing kidding me Cartier?!?

If you think differing fronts on the date wheel and dial is bad, how about differing fonts on the dial and bezel? I'm looking at you, Seiko.

Wait a minute...
Are you suggesting that Mileneal is pronounced "millennial" and NOT "Mile Neal"?

Damn it! Now I have to design a MoT dial in Comic Sans. Thanks a lot. I won’t actually make one, but I can do the design.MAAHHH THE FRENCH! wrote:We need more watches sporting Comic Sans.
