@FarandPaulJr @tim_aggett Removing milspec layout isn’t exactly utilitarian

@ruffiansabout @tim_aggett Hamilton's do lean on the dull side of designs, not in a bad way... a no-frills, utilitarian way. 🤔

Ok, let's ruffle some feathers... The Hamilton Khaki Field Murph approaches the event horizon of perfection...

@FarandPaulJr @tim_aggett When they finally added AR and screw down crown to the Khaki King they made the dial so bland in comparison that it would be better with glare.

@tim_aggett Understandable, one would think Hamilton would get on the ball with what is probably the biggest complaint about their watches, not just the Murph. But in daily wear, it's not really an issue that a tilt of the wrist can't fix.

@MattStewartTV @Mikeysurf @VincentBriedis Having seen countless tourney games at the youth level cancelled and postponed due to lack of umpires, I couldn’t disagree more. There’s also been a major coach or fan related fight each of the past 4 weeks. Decorum isn’t hard, the call wasn’t hard or harsh.

I would love to see officials/umpires having to answer for decisions they make during a game. And love when officials explain the decisions that they make. That said officials can't be perfect any more than any of us can because we a human. We an just do our best. I feel NFL and NBA have made great strides in explaining to fans in live time during a game.

Should Georgia Bulldogs star Tre Phelps have been ejected for what you see in the video? The answer is...if he was taunting? Yes. If he was celebrating? No. The problem is there are many who claim when he pointed in the direction of the Liberty dugout, he wasn't pointing or taunting the opponent but was simply pointing at his parents who were sitting in the crowd above that dugout. The Flames head coach and players saw it differently. And so did the umpires (the ones whose opinions mattered most in this story because they were put into a position where they now had to judge intent). One of the biggest problems we have in sports right now at every level is the question of sportsmanship. "Celebrations" often look like taunting and then it becomes an interpretation of the beholder and that includes the umpire. Why leave it to chance? One can celebrate without all that stuff. It could be very costly and rightly or wrongly it has become a potentially very costly issue for Georgia. Unfortunately this story today has distracted from the bigger story that Georgia is now just two home wins from going to the College World Series for the first time since 2008. And then there's a potentially bigger story. Georgia will have to play Game One of the Super Regional (a best two-of-three series) without Phelps and Coach Wes Johnson (who was also ejected). And if the ejections impact who wins that game and perhaps who wins that series, it will lead to an even bigger question. Was a home run celebration to beat Liberty worth it if it costs you a chance (even in the slightest way) to go to the CWS? Hope that's a question that doesn't have to be asked this time next week because this Georgia team can win the national championship. Would hate to see that derailed by something so trivial as a "HR Celebration" to beat a team they were expected to beat anyway.

@bgill2969 @Computers2121 @Trahpio123 @QualkTalk Positive about that - Rule 3-6 Appendix E enforced appropriately. It’s becoming impossible to get umpires for little league / rec / travel games for kids as parents, coaches, and kids take respect, sportsmanship and decorum out of the game.

@Computers2121 @Trahpio123 @QualkTalk Sure about that? So people who love baseball think your baseball is unwatchable and that’s what you come up with? Interesting take

Aside from the lengthy stare, turning his back to the field to directly talk into Liberty’s dugout, and specifically saying words to every infielder on his way around the bases, I’m not sure why this warrants an ejection

@tetraparfums Throw the traska commuter in there.

Her zaman kullanabileceğim bir saat arıyorum hangisini önerirsiniz? Saatten anlayan arkadaşlar bi el atarsa sevinirim 😊

@dabfordale It’d be a lot cooler if 30 year old museum cars couldn’t lap the current field.

I will say it’s kind of cool that the Indy 500 is the only race in the world doing 220+ now. Not IndyCar at Pocono or Fontana. Not NASCAR at Talladega or Michigan. Not in Europe at Monza or Avus. Even Mulsanne & Daytona backstretch have chicanes. The Indy 500 stands alone.

@IAmMapes Healthy sports never talk about ratings or viewers.

You’d have no idea of the Indy 500 being down almost 6% YoY, a true PR masterclass.

@MathieuRegan17 @rascul3 This really started with Target realizing they got much less value out of many races and leveraging their larger suppliers to share the cost. The series can’t dictate the terms of sponsorships.

@rascul3 I suppose that’s a fair point.

Unpopular opinion, perhaps? : an Indy 500 winner should not change their livery for the next race. You can’t tell me we need to race immediately to keep momentum going and then have the winning car be unrecognizable in the same race. Stop doing this to yourself IndyCar!

@DigitalGashouse Two red flags that weren’t needed, constantly manipulating opening and closing of pits, cautions that go 10 laps past the actual cleanup of the accident. 30 year old cars in the museum that can lap the field. Nothing pure.

I say this out of tough love for NASCAR. Let a race breathe and it will naturally reward you. The Indy 500 consistently produces close racing and exciting finishes while staying pure. It’s time for the Daytona 500 to rip a page out of their playbook.

@dieworkwear Look good, good movement, but definitely cut some corners between end links, clasp, and case sealing. For the price there are too many other micro brand options that deliver more.

Potentially of interest: Standard & Strange is now carrying Vague Watch, a sub-label under the Yoshida Trade Company (makers of Porter bags). Obvs Rolex references assembled in China using Japanese automatic movements. Seems nice for $550-600.

@woachtung Uggh. Should have added AR and screw down crown and changed nothing else.

All hail the new King! *Hamilton ~ Khaki Field King #hamilton

@kotecinho @hamiltonwatch Ruined the dial while adding features that should have been there. The text is one thing… but making it flat and losing the texture? What’s the point of AR? There’s nothing to see!

Hamilton Khaki Field King Day-Date

@hamiltonwatch Take the AR off that crystal… nothing to even see on that dial. What a waste.

Off duty. Off grid. By design.
The new Khaki Field King reimagines field‑watch heritage with a cleaner dial, 10‑bar resistance and an 80‑hour automatic movement — made for life beyond the beaten path: ms.spr.ly/6013Q4kDT #hamiltonwatch (Ref. H64475531)

@Sinn_FFM If only the design choice didn’t include an integrated bracelet.

544 RS – Reduktion auf das Wesentliche. Mit dem Modell 544 RS präsentieren wir einen mechanischen Zeitmesser, der Funktion und Form in ein ausgewogenes Verhältnis bringt – klar gestaltet, präzise gefertigt und auf das Wesentliche konzentriert. Der mit Tagesleuchtfarbe belegte rote Sekundenzeiger setzt einen bewusst gesetzten Akzent und verleiht der Uhr eine eigenständige, markante und zugleich zurückhaltende Identität. Das perlgestrahlte Edelstahlgehäuse mit einem Durchmesser von 38,5 mm überzeugt durch ausgewogene Proportionen und eine zurückhaltend-zeitgemäße Präsenz am Handgelenk. Deck- und Bodenglas aus Saphirkristall rahmen das Gehäuse klar und präzise ein und eröffnen zugleich den Blick auf die fein arbeitende Mechanik im Inneren. #sinnspezialuhren #544rs #instrument #watchesandwonders2026 sinn.de/544-rs.html?et…

@itsAntWright Yeah… Jake Rudock. There’s already a clear precident. Let’s not pretend that someone like Braden Smith woudln’t have been granted the same opportunity if he were buying into the idea.

Nobody wanted to listen

@JaredOn1017 Limited by competency

Why can’t they review that out of bounds and give that big guy a foul on Braden?

@nickarvinsports Highly recommend… I decoupled from football a few years ago and basketball after Edey graduated. I still watch some and attend one or two… but refocusing my time and energies elsewhere has been a needed change.

I need to stop allowing my emotional well-being to be affected by Purdue basketball.

@LindseyWTHR13 Are we measuring in pounds or cubic volume? It can't be in quantity... not when the campus has perpetually trailed Michigan, Ohio State and Penn St in enrollment for the past 100 years. Include all campuses? Online? Still behind. Marketing isn't fact.

“Largest living alumni base” is a fact. Read a book, Bill. Or learn how to use a search engine, Bill.

@michaeljflynnn The figure for Indiana Alumni includes IU Indianapolis (IUPUI) Jaguars, IU Kokomo Cougars, IU East Red Wolves, IU South Bend Titans, IU Northwest Redhawks, and IU Southeast Grenadiers. Take out Just IUPUI who has their own Horizon league basketball team and exit the top 10

People calling Indiana fans bandwagons when in reality they have the largest living alumni base

@itsAntWright No shit… how do they miss that dirty fucking screen

I was about 30 minutes behind watching Purdue/Iowa.. this play and the Cluff play were so bad
