Hijacking the top comment to say this watch needs a service if it’s at -60 seconds a day. If you want your mechanical watch to truly last a lifetime you should service it at least every 10 years.

Or causes of accidentally electrocutions. The sub is called buy-it-for-life, not buy-it-for-living!

Jill vacuum by Simplicity is corded, bagged, and does a great job. It’s also quieter than average!

BIFL so far: We’ve had a Shark Rotator Lift-away model NV501 for about 8 years and have had zero problems. With humans with long hair and a dog, this is the first vacuum that is both effective and durable. It comes with lots of attachments, and the lift-away allows for converting to a canister vac on wheels. One of the filters is washable, and replacements are available online along with additional attachments. My sister-in-law also has the same model and has had a good experience as well!

Change the whole cable or replace that plugg with one that’s meant to replace it. Or gett a really good home insurance where they don’t look for electrical fires.

They ran with that motto in to the 90's. I remember a digital to next being a runner up prize on a kids game show back then (Uh-Oh) and they used that motto.

They actually did a test back in the day where they strapped it to the back of an outboard boat engine and it still survived. Also shooting it through a glass window while attached to an arrow 🤷🏻‍♀️

It’s too big.

Rolex is probably the most overhyped since it is so famous :) But probably retains value better? I don't know. I bet lots of people want a Rolex even over some "better" or equivelant brands just cause they only know rolex.

Just a joke, comrade. I’m well aware of the pros and cons of various watch types. I was just saying Rolex is those things, in comparison to other mechanical watches.

Longines, patek philippe, tag heuer, rolex, citizen, seiko... does not matter, functionally a mechanical watch is obsolete. There is nothing that it could do better. For example, a citizen ecodrive is cheaper, slimmer, more elegant, way more accurate, lighter, more durable and completely maintenance free (I think it uses some sort of capacitors instead of a battery, only needs short term battery anyway, if most battery watches last for 8-10 years on a single battery the ecodrive only needs to last a week or a month so it's really tiny as it is constantly recharged). For more extreme durability, there's g-shock. A mechanical watch is an incredibly complex piece of fragile engineering, quartz is an amazing technology from a functional standpoint. But a mechanical watch is art.

I really try not to buy leather when I can avoid it but at the end of the day you just can’t beat leather with things like shoes and belts. I’m going to get a hanks belt for my brown one because nylon doesn’t look as good in brown.
