    A couple of things I spot:

    1. The lume pip sticks out, like it’s a large paint blob inside of the metal circle. Omega uses a recessed style of pip. The center spot goes inwards on a real one.
    2. The numbers on the bezel are flat across the bottom. Both digits are sitting on the same horizontal line, and they shouldn’t be. On a real Seamaster, the two digits are slightly askew. Like, on the 20 marker, if you draw a line below the 2 and another line below the 0, the lines will be askew. The two numbers are rotated slightly so that each one is separately sitting on a tangential line around the dial.

    There is also the fact that I don’t recognize this dial design, but I’m not really familiar with every Seamaster dial, so that might just be me.






  • I’ve only seen the first one and didn’t think it was that great. It’s a heist movie where all of the characters are magicians, which just enabled some lazy writing for a heist movie. Instead of having to come up with a clever way for the characters to pull something off, every time it’s just magic. And not like an actual magic trick that you could explain the mechanics of; they can just do anything. Make anything disappear, make anything reappear, make themselves disappear when there’s nothing around them and they haven’t been to that location before. It’s a heist movie where the characters can use cheat codes, so it never has that moment where you think, “that was smart.”


  • That was a great interview, thanks for doing it! And I bet the devs enjoy getting to talk about this kind of thing. There are plenty of blog posts about what new features are coming out in open source projects, but very few interviews like this one.

    It’s cool how everything right now is still (mostly) focused on translating x86 to ARM, but how we’re starting to hear talk about native ARM. I’m guessing that there won’t enough of a push for that, though, until Linux ARM PCs become more popular. I’m definitely looking forward to that.
