Sanity check on the Man City situation.

Red Cartel wind ups aside, and among friends, am I alone in thinking the hysterical reaction to this from the wider soccer community is completely mental and embarrassing? It feels like a reaction to a PEDs or match fixing scandal, rather than what is essentially some creative accounting to get around financial rules that are barely two decades old?

Any way to replace the Bezel on a DS Action Diver?

I have a black 43mm and fancy mixing it up, I was wondering if Certina or any after market sellers provide bezels in different colourways?

Every dial Zelos makes is horrendous and the company's cult-like following is one of life's great mysteries

I see this brand being glazed daily on Reddit and their watches sell out instantly. Every one of their dials looks like it's been designed by a primary school student who has won a competition to design a watch.

Anybody watched the Mourinho documentary yet?

Watched the first two episodes last night and found it all quite predictable and tedious. John Terry somehow manages to be an even bigger cunt than I remember him being during his playing days.

Let's check in on LongYesterday6873's pre-season predictions

Since our resident soccer expert's assertions that Utd have their best midfield since 2008 and that Carrick doesn't want or need a ball-winning midfielder, Utd have been battered by Hull and AC Milan and signed the ball-winning midfielder, Baleba.

I'll see you guys again next week!

TikTok shop sent me a bottle of Hawas Sapphire instead of the Hawas Ice I ordered.

I couldn't be bothered sending it back so decided to just try itm Hated it when I first sprayed it, I'm now addicted to it. It's the strangest cologne I've ever smelt. I had no idea what Guava smelt like, but the best way I can describe it is tropical with Palma Violets and a hint of weed. It's very addictive and seems like one that can be worn in any weather. Performance is good too.

Pre-ordering a microbrand watch with no solid delivery date

Is this common thing in the Microbrand space, or do others find it a bit..off-putting?

I'd like to purchase the watch in the picture, but the release date just states "q4" and handing over the best part of 700 quid for something with no idea of when I'll get it other than over a vague three month period doesn't feel right to me.

Do these brands make all their sales through pre-orders, or do they produce enough for some to go on general sale?

Was the Clemence Anachronist a limited edition run?

Pretty irritating if so, I've only just discovered the brand.

The F77 Mk 2 Crown

I love the look of the F77 Mk2 but I've read a couple of times it has an awful crown that feels terrible setting the time and has a poorly executed screw down function. Does this apply to the watch in general, the movement or just a couple of people getting unlucky?

99% of online stores for Watch brands are dreadful

Example here https://www.fleming.watch/

Why can't watch brands design a decent online store? Why can't they just present the watches they make along with their prices, rather than making you sift through extravagantly designed pages of images and video that don't fit your phone screen and lists of randomly named "collections"?

FAO Madrid-based Mido fans, are there any stores in the city that stock the Multifort TV big date?

I am based in the UK and there is almost a complete lack of Mido sellers here. I want to see the watches in person before deciding on which colour to get and I'm heading to Madrid shortly, any ideas?

Is Estate Gents booking in phantom viewings to give the impression they are doing more than they actually are a thing?

Is this something that happens or am I being completely mental? I have my suspicions about a "viewing" that happened at my house yesterday, nothing concrete, but I'm just wondering if this is something that can happen?

Would you consider that mark at the top of the bezel to the right of the arrow justification for requesting a replacement?

I only noticed it today having had the watch for a few days with the sun shining on it. It appears to be some kind of mark under the sapphire crystal, I realise it's tiny but it's bothering me now and I can't unsee it. It's not an expensive watch, would you feel a bit cunty for raising it with the vendor?

Football fans, particularly Man Utd fans, need to stop treating transfer windows like Xmas.

The aim of a transfer window is not to give the supporters the shiniest and most expensive toys. Utd spent years doing that under Woodward and Arnold and it resulted in some of the most embarrassing years in the club's history.

Liverpool had "the transfer window of dreams" last year and ended up making a title winning squad much worse and sacking their manager.

Ratcliffe and the gang have barely put a foot wrong transfer-wise since they came to the club. Show them some trust and stop embarrassing yourselves

I'm being charged £100 VAT + import duty having selected the incredibly expensive FedEx delivery option to the UK. Does that sound right?

In the above screenshot from the FAQ section on the website, the answer is confusing me. The duty paid option is £15, surely Islander doesn't cover the £85 VAT on that option but not on the £80 FedEx option?
