Some people just have a way with words, and other people … oh … not have way.

Stolen tooling from the Borealis Bullshark bronze. Shameful promotion.

Borealis attacking people because they steal "their" design is next level
Just like Tudor stealing MKII designs.

That's funny. I remember reading recently some guy on WUS trashing Uncle Seiko for stealing the tropic strap design. Guy thought he stole it from the Oris 65. :lol:

I had a hard time finding it, it was longer ago than I thought. It wasn't a big deal, it just stuck in my head as the kind of dumb stuff people say.

That dude "6r15" just had a thread bashing the new seiko solar tuna's about how his dial had a crack. It was the solar strips under the paint of the dial. :think:

Yeah but he has not been keeping up unfortunately. Never even hear of him or his site anymore. Maybe it’s just me. Nothing against him

I think YouTube and other channels of information has taken over. At one time it seemed like he was the gatekeeper of info about 10 years ago.

But I don't know him. I think he was on wus at one time.

From the beginning, it was all about random micros. I've never thought of his site as authoritative in any way.
