considering it's a hemp pattern I'm expecting the green version will be repeatedly set to about 20 past 4

And now in actually interesting watch news, these have been announced by Seiko

Seiko Presage "Sharp Edges" series

Nicely finished, 39mm cases, 6R35 movements

The dial is inspired by a traditional hemp leaf pattern from the Heian period (794-1185) and apparently symbolise growth and prosperity

And you can buy all 4 of them for less than the cost of one of the recent Rolex releases (they're $1,000-ish each)

I want software to come on cartridges again

Not like, SD card sized, that sort of data density scares me, but like size of a cigarette lighter and they go into a little compartment in the computer

given that rolex now has 3 models where the only difference is the bezel (the black submariner, the shrek, and the grover) I wonder if the people making fakes will start doing value packs with a fake sub and two extra coloured bezels so you can wear 3 fake rolexes for the price of one

is a squobit finding bytes way around a mavigator?

just "hmm... I see this report, I sentence you to b&" *taps hammer*

yes, I do have way too much fun with this

like little gavels with a keyswitch on the head

that'd be fun

does anyone make hammers with a little switch in them that connect to usb and press enter or something?

computerfairi.es should have those of us with banhammer duties have actual banhammers

so it's against the GDPR to not keep someone's personal data now?

I... uh... whut?

imagining @mavica in orb form floating about like weebo

!

it's @mavica ! in orb form!

the reason it has to be named after a muppet is the fact that the first model of sub that had a black dial and green bezel was nicknamed the Kermit and they want to keep the naming scheme going

I am not making a word of this up

there are ongoing arguments as to if the black dial, blue bezel is to be called the Cookie Monster or the Grover

the new green bezel submariner has a larger face and smaller "ears" (lugs)

some smartarses are already calling it the "Rolex Shrek" and I approve

oh, they've got new oyster perpetuals too

they've dropped the 39mm version and replaced it with a 41mm

some nice dials in silver, black, or blue

and a number of godawful dials in other colours

oh, and the gold skydweller is now available on a rubber strap

what schrodinger meant: haha obviously this is a ridiculous interpretation

what everyone heard: ZOMBIE CAT! WOO!

Rolex releases have been... uh... released

subs, new 41mm case that looks almost identical to the old one

7 of them total, come with a new movement

lug width is now 21mm because fuck putting it on widely available aftermarket straps I guess

need for speed: hot fursuit

"circa" is a good word

"ah, it's circa 1850's I believe" sounds so much better than "it's from like, 1850's-ish or summat?"
