Discussion
you took a chance on humiliating me if I didn’t have one, that’s all! Aaaaaah sorry did i make you cry? Get over yourself pal,its only a watch forum. I put a photo of my watch on here and you have to make a sarky comment. Like most on here that post clever comments, its alright posting it but i bet you wouldnt be so clever saying it face to face with them.

this thread is partly about watches and partly about pictures. It's possible to have a lovely watch and take a s
t picture. I don't really think anyone should be getting pissy about it or confuse the two.
Thank you! I thought that was the case also. I dont take offence if someone doesnt like my choice in a watch, i really dont care. But when they make a clever comment and they dont like it they get all tearfull over it t picture. I don't really think anyone should be getting pissy about it or confuse the two.

I’ve read this several times and I’m not sure what you mean?
I don’t think it’s me, my reading is usually ok!

Got a tropic strap from Joseph Bonnie today. Wanted Olive colour which Baltic don't do so this had to be bought. Really nice quality and vulcanised rubber too so none of the dust magnet silicone stuff.
Yeah I swapped in a Baltic signed buckle I had spare, and thicker springbars!
This is excellent thread content. Love the olive tropic. How's the Baltic?Yeah I swapped in a Baltic signed buckle I had spare, and thicker springbars!
On the other argument. Don you were a bit rude initially but we see you were poking fun. Pistonguy your response was a bit strong but we know it's annoying when people only say negative things rather than at least acknowledging a lovely watch. We see both points of view, but it doesn't need to derail the thread. De-escalation?
- Daytona is objectively quite nice
- bad pictures are sometimes funny to poke fun at
- we can't all afford expensive things but its funny to rib people who can

And it's not funny to be unpleasant to people who, you assume, can't afford nice things.- Daytona is objectively quite nice

My view is simply that you don't have to be so unpleasant. Somebody pointed out your photo was blurry (you weren't the first, and you won't be the last), and you decided to go all Billy-Big-b
ks, rather than just taking the comment with a little grace.

The watch or the tropic? 
The watch has been so far excellent and I can't fault it. I am currently monitoring accuracy as it's sitting at -4s a day at present but I will track over a 2 week period of mixed wearing to see what's what. My Marloe Morar with the same movement was +5s a day so it's interesting to see how both differ in their regulation.
Really nice watch all round though
