SINN! New Sinn watches!

First, a 104 with a green metallic dial, not much new to say about this aside from 104s are good

Second, 2 new diver chronos, the 206 and the 206 ARKTIS, 300m water resistance on both, Sinn's Ar dehumidification tech on both, but the ARKTIS has added temperature resistance and is reliable between -45 and 80 degrees

@maple blub blub blub it's a beepy bun!

If a bunch of chickens that were in a cage being transported in a short-bodied car decided to stage a revolution would that be a coupe coop coup?

@Jo this thing's just a chicken and it's impressive enough, imagine something like this but 6 meters tall

Not entirely sure about white gold for a field-y looking sports watch but let's face it it's not ever going to see anything approaching hard use

@maple pretty much!

I'll be geeking out for the next week, I'll make sure to CW all of it though

"Sinn Féin criticised for 'England get out of Ireland' banner"

https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-northern-ireland-47601796

I... what? Have people somehow not been aware that "England shouldn't have political power over Ireland (specifically northern Ireland in this case)" is Sinn Féin's whole thing?

@revolverocelot we learnt a lot of lessons from chernobyl so it won't happen again

(admittedly most of those were "don't intentionally try to break the fucker" but still)

there needed to be an earthquake and tsunami for the last accident, that's pretty damn safe considering
