My 3rd #GrandSeiko is secured. I had been looking for one for weeks and stumbled upon an opportunity to get one that meets literally everything I wanted. l will post about it later but if you know that I already own a Spring Drive one and a Quartz one, you can guess where this is going 😉 #watches #watchesofmastodon

With how sunny it is right now, it is not too hard to get a lum shot of my Seiko SNK809. Field watches are so easy to read 👌 #watches #watchesofmastodon

I went out to look at watches, and I saw some beautiful Tissot PRXs. They are pretty but far from perfect. Especially the quartz ones seem hit and miss (miss really) when it comes to hitting the markers.

Then I saw some Citizen Tsuyosas in various colours, which are also very beautiful! I was impressed.

Then I saw the Grand Seiko range next to Rolex and Omega and GOOD GOD! How can humans manufacture something as perfect as a Grand Seiko. 🤯 #horology #watchesofmastodon

I've recently gotten into #watches and #space at the same time. They do tend to be related, but I never expected interest in one to create interest in another.

All that to say, all the cool gears in mechanical watches are awesome. But, I also got a Casio G-SHOCK that syncs with the radio broadcast of the atomic clock every night. Its really fascinating technology, at least to me!

Catching up on a few albums I should have purchased a few months ago 😅 #Loona #Loossemble #Chuu #Heejin

Now that the weather is getting sunny again here, I can show a little something about my #Rolex Datejust. People tend to think that the cream Buckley dial is just a flat colored dial and they are not wrong. Most of the time it does look uniform. But as soon as you put it in the sunlight, you’ll notice that it has some texture/graininess in the way it reflects strong light. I don’t think I’ll ever get bored of that. #watches #watchesofmastodon

Wrist shot in strong sunny lighting conditions. The dial shows some graininess due to how the dial reflects the light.

#Eurovision is still an anachronistic political shitshow and while I am glad that Israel is not on the podium, it should have been straight up banned from the competition like Russia. As usual the EBU is worthless and hypocritical.

This is one that grew on me. It's a Parnis Chinese automatic PVC coated #watches #watchesofmastodon

Microsoft really spent $68.7B acquiring Activision only to realize their gaming division is now too big and costly so they’re doing layoffs every quarter 🤦🏾‍♂️

Google went from you have to be in Mountain View at least three days a week to do this job to you can do it from India and Mexico in less than a year.

Truly nuts that these are the last two tweets from a game studio that Microsoft just shut down.

Read from bottom to top.

#Apple's new #iPad lineup is getting very stale and confusing. They are having a hard time justifying meaningful names and features behind the spec bump from M4 vs M2, nobody likely understands what happened to M3 in iPads, and the Pencil Pro can be so easily mistaken for a Pencil 2 or a Pencil USB-C. The pairing of compatible iPad/Pencil is especially such a big mess that they might as well bundle them together at this point to avoid trouble.

Mike Ybarra’s “Won’t someone think of the executives’ feelings” in defense of Phil Spencer in the wake of the massive layoffs at the studios that #Microsoft recently acquired is hilariously tone deaf. Pretty much a reflection of how cowardly and incompetent his short leadership at #Blizzard was https://www.eurogamer.net/former-blizzard-boss-mike-ybarra-defends-xboxs-phil-spencer-following-arkane-austin-tango-gameworks-closures

I just bought my 2nd #GrandSeiko. Will talk about it and explain the choices I made once I actually get my hands on the box. The only thing I will tease is that this reference is very plain and simple, and probably not one I would have considered 3 months ago before I had owned the very fancy SBGA259/Golden Snowflake. #watches #watchesofmastodon

I don’t know how controversial my opinion is but I find the modern #Rolex Air King extremely unappealing. It has lost a lot of the traits from the original looking more like a weird downgraded mix between an Explorer and a Milgauss. And it doesn’t even live up to its name anymore as its design is inspired by a car and has almost nothing to do with airplanes/pilots. #watches #watchesofmastodon

"Is it good for the Jews?" That has been a question long asked by Jewish Americans, especially immigrants and those of the second generation, scarred by memories of the Holocaust, when assessing the policies of the US government and the pledges of political candidates. Here are my thoughts on the subject. https://open.substack.com/pub/newsguy/p/jewish-voters-could-sway-us-presidential?r=1g77q&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true

I came across a Datejust with tapestry dial aka “American Psycho”. I will obviously pass on it as I already own the same 16013 reference but with another dial. I found it funny though 😂 #watches #watchesofmastodon
