@mplouffe@scholar.social I'm hopeful it will be, bezel compatibility would also be really nice

brexit 

@BalooUriza then again "giant shitshow that would irrevocably change a whole load of things and generally go very badly indeed for everyone involved" is kinda where we are at the moment so *shrug*

brexit 

@BalooUriza well, she could technically have stopped it in the same way that technically the UK can annex Normandy

could happen, but it would very quickly result in a giant shitshow that would irrevocably change a whole load of things and generally go very badly indeed for everyone involved

brexit 

Since Royal Assent was given to that bill that requires the PM to ask the EU for an extension to article 50 the brexiteers have started being angry at the Queen

Interesting that a bunch of people so obsessed with "sovereignty" have turned on a fucking dime against an actual literal sovereign

@halcy while that defence has worked in the past yeah, it's unlikely to help in most cases

@halcy wait, they're literally asking if it's legal!?

OF COURSE IT BLOODY ISN'T

@halcy I mean, technically they can, they just have to face the obvious consequences afterwards

I can see why they've done that with them moving it to the Seiko 5 line but still, bit disappointing

It seems to use mostly the same external parts though, same midcase, bezel looks the same, so hopefully existing aftermarket parts will work with the new model and there's the possibility that aftermarket solid casebacks could bump the WR back up to 200m

It's got the same dimensions and overall shape but it's had a fair few changes, the movement is now a 4R36 which is a very nice improvement over the 7S26, it now comes with a display caseback, but the water resistance has now dropped to 100m and it's probably going to lose the ISO rating which utterly sucks

According to everything I can find Seiko have discontinued the SKX007, possibly the best dive watch in the <$250 range and a beloved favourite of watch enthusiasts everywhere

So we were all wondering what the replacement would be, and there's a leak that looks legit

@TheGibson @natecull one of three scenarios, both is just as likely as either of those alone

@TheGibson bloody "eunomia", named after the greek goddess of law and legislation, far too on the nose

hell, look at the amount of stick we gave you for merely talking to the cops (and still do you damn fed), I'm half expecting a big stake with dry straw around it ready for eugen on this one

@TheGibson I can't think of a better project name to be mentioned in the opening narration of a low-budget dystopian sci-fi flick

"They called it Project EUNOMIA, designed to bring truth to the internet..."

@vantablack if it is then it's the part when the writing team fucked off early on a friday

Really, "eunomia"? Greek goddess of law and legislation? Make it a little less obvious than that lads
