Re: Riddle me this, Batman
Because it’s like listening to music - and then having someone guide you and teach you to listen with a detail and closeness you’ve never listened with before. You developed your ear for detail and nuance and depth that many people just aren’t aware of. With watches it’s also like honing your perce...

Re: Pet Pronunciation Hates
I was trying, unsuccesfully, to be funny about some ways of speaking that are just plain wrong: could care less/couldn’t care less, very unique (something is either unique or it is not), the use of literally when speaking figuratively. Will try harder next time. 😉 Sorry! :oops: You caught me taking...

Re: Pet Pronunciation Hates
Seems to me, a non-native speaker/writer that some of you could care less, while others have a very unique take on the problem. Some are literally going crazy with frustration! Very confusing for a poor foreigner. I think it’s like the weather - the endless variation of the English language gives u...

Re: Wow! I think I might be done. I wasn't expecting that!
^^^ I see. My mistake. That makes a lot of sense. Still, I prefer some ‘want’ going on to keep it interesting.

Re: Wow! I think I might be done. I wasn't expecting that!
I’m taking a different view, I think. While I’m sure that that destination, not wanting another watch, is a liberating place to arrive at, I’m not sure I want to go there. Isn’t there an element of being finished with the whole watch thing once you get there? Is it possible to still have an active i...

Re: Aquastar Deepstar II Fratello collab
I think the bezels look like the dial on a very complicated washing machine. Or a port from a Star Wars set :lol: Whatever - I love the watch. I had never heard of Aquastar but I love the brand name. Thanks for posting it! :D @missF The brand has some history, but lay dormant for many years before ...

Re: Aquastar Deepstar II Fratello collab
Well put. But it works as a package. The dial is described as pink salmon. Not for everyone, but if you want something a bit daring that stands out - why not!

Re: Favorite novel & why
Fascinating thread. I used to read a lot in my youth, but for various reasons my reading declined as I got older. I’ve never understood people who say they don’t like Science Fiction. It’s about people and our problems, just set in a possible future. And SF has foreseen much of recent technical deve...
