Date: November 6th, 2025 4:54 PM Author: Stimulating pozpig roommate i've noticed a thing common to all forms of collecting where a known reviewer will exaggerate a very minor perceived flaw or preference. It will be totally inconsequentia for example a knife handle not being adequately contoured and the reviewer labeling it a "hotspot" that painfully digs into your hand if you try to use it.
People then latch onto these mantras to sound like they know what they are talking about or to dismiss a product that competes with their preferred brand or model. |

|
Date: November 8th, 2025 8:28 PM Author: Stimulating pozpig roommate Disagree. I prefer the current 38mm version. I think the bold lines on the subdials ruin the predecessor oafish 42mm version. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5773682&forum_id=2#49413347) |

I think the date spread out in 3 different locations on yours (and bottom not vertically aligned or at 6 o'clock) ruins the entire thing. The moonphase is cool but unnecessary for an El Primero and Omega does those way better |
