Started many years ago and slowly progressed, some pieces have gone and the empty slot on the top right will be my new Longines Hydroconquest 39mm black that I will pick up next week.
How is the collection so far?
The Gold Guess Watch was a gift from my then girlfriend now wife.
Had an orient bambino v2, Omega SMPc Blue, and an SKX 007 that I gifted to my father when I purchased my Omega.
Hey guys what do you think is this 39mm HC for my around 18cm wrist? Good size? Small? Big?
I will go with the black model but I have this in picture on my phone.
Thanks 🙏🏻
I know how that sounds.
But I work from my phone. Sometimes I need to answer an email, check an order or deal with something while my baby is right beside me.
What started bothering me wasn’t really screen time. My baby wasn’t watching videos or using my phone.
It was the fact that he was constantly seeing ME holding one.
So I started hiding my phone inside a book when I needed to use it around him.
Some people think it’s clever. Others think it’s ridiculous, deceptive, or that I should simply put my phone away.
I’m obviously biased because this problem eventually led us to create Peek A Book, but I’m genuinely curious about the parenting side of the argument.
Is hiding the phone actually better than letting your baby see you use it?
Or are we overthinking this completely?
Hey everyone I will be buying my first Longines in the near future to mark a big life milestone (new home / new city / new business thriving )
I always had my eyes on the HC but I never pulled the trigger, I was pretty sure until a couple of months that I will buy the previous model on a rubber strap but when Longines dropped the new one it was a chefs kiss. Tucks all the boxes for me at least.
I have tried both 42 and 39 in my recent travels in various boutiques and I am 100% I will go for the 39mm for my 7.2 inch wrist.
The problem i have is that I have NEVER seen in person in any of the boutiques the Black or Black/Grey variant.
I dont care about the bracelets (H link is better) as I will most likely wear it on a rubber strap as this is the look I am aiming for. Which dial is the best?
I am aiming for this to be my new daily but can also rock it on more formal attire.
PS: will the rubber band from previous HC model fit this one?
I have my beautiful Wimbledon DJ 41 on Smooth/Jubilee that is my daily wearer from December 2022. From suits to swimming.
I will schedule these days to have it serviced as the date changes 10 minutes after 12 every night and it annoys me.
As you can see I have pretty much worn the watch and enjoyed it without caring much. And I love it but now I think I might want to clean it up a little bit as I might have “beaten up” it a little bit more.
I also have an Omega Seamaster and couple of years ago I also polished it and it looked brand new with my Watchmaker.
I see everyone terrified of polishing the watch (I mean light polish) why is that?
Thanks 🙏🏻
Hi, i travel a lot and need to buy a MBA for that reason. i have my own business, run online stores and host meetings. i have on my desk my mac mini m2 pro with 1tb and 32gb of storage and its a beast. my wife does also light photoshop/lightroom on it and its smooth. we gave our old M1 Imac base model (2021) as its really slow especially with 8gb of ram. my question is should i get the 512 gb storage or 1tb? it will be the 24gb ram for sure. most of things we keep on cloud and drives these days so i dont really know. i like to keep my stuff for years so i guess i am questioning the futureproofness of 512 vs 1tb. i used to have my old MBP 2015 8gb/128 ssd for 7 years and it worked fine. so maybe the 512 is enough?
Hi everyone,
I'm looking for recommendations for a reliable China-based 3PL for my Shopify business.

Our biggest challenge is USA shipping.
Our current 3PL is quoting close to €18-20 for shipping a bundle to the USA. Europe is cheaper.

I'd really appreciate any recommendations or experiences.

Was in Brasov for a few days for a business trip and I saw this watch on a shopping mall. I went to try I was instantly hooked. What a gorgeous watch, great proportions, fantastic dial and the green is a very dark rich green that looks almost black.
The next day on a different walk I did I found a local watchmaker and bouthis beautiful green rubber strap that is almost similar color to the dial.
Now this is a killer combo for summer 🫡
I was today at Munich airport, I had a connection flight and I had couple of hours to spent there. I was heading for the business lounge and right outside the lounge entrance there was a Rolex boutique. I went to look at the display and to my surprise it was full of watches mostly stainless steel (Submariner black/starbucks) GMT Batgirl/Rootbeer, skydwellers, and many many more.
I asked surprised the sales rep that I haven’t seen a display full of these watches for years, and that I would be interested in trying a couple of models and if possible to buy 1.
I know that there are waiting lists etc, but he said that there are waitlists for these watches and they can’t sell them to me. Like who the fuck puts waitlists on airport boutiques?
This was the most stupid thing that I experienced in a Rolex boutique so far.
Hey, I’m the person behind PeekABook.
And honestly, this didn’t start as a product idea.
It started with something that made me uncomfortable…
I always thought the hard part of parenting would be sleep.
Or the crying.
Or the exhaustion.
But it turned out to be this small moment:
My baby looking at me… while I’m on my phone.
Not even doing anything urgent.
Just replying to messages, checking things, scrolling.
And I caught myself thinking:
“This is what he sees all day.”
That hit me.
I’m not against phones. My work actually depends on it.
But I started wondering how to stay present without completely disconnecting from reality.
Curious if anyone else has felt this?
Hi everyone 👋
I wanted to start this space by sharing a small story behind PeekABook.
Like many parents, I found myself working from my phone a lot… even when my baby was right there watching me. And honestly, it didn’t feel right. Not because using a phone is bad, but because I realized how much babies observe and copy what we do.
That’s where the idea for PeekABook came from.
It’s a simple concept: something that lets parents handle quick tasks on their phone, without putting a screen directly in front of their child. Not to replace real interaction, not to “trick” anyone, but just to create a small buffer during those moments when life happens.
This community is not just about the product.
It’s about:
• navigating screen time as parents
• sharing real-life situations (no judgment)
• small habits that make a difference over time
I’d really like this to be a place where people can openly share their experiences — whether you agree with the idea or not.
So I’ll start with a question:
👉 What’s your biggest challenge when it comes to using your phone around your child?
Curious to hear your thoughts.
