Okay, but where do you draw the line.
We need to pander to the Snowflake society
Ooooh, how dare you assume my sexuality! 馃槻
Me in Harrods earlier today.
Rob: Look at that disgusting pistachio thing there in the Breitling case.
Wife: Oh that's pretty bad, but it's not as bad as the 'peach' one next to it, it looks like a really bad bridesmaid's dress!

"No Time To Die: Daniel Craig's final Bond film gets five-star reviews"
In his five-star review of the film, Kevin Maher of The Times said: "It's better than good. It's magnificent.
"Craig is a towering charismatic presence from opening frame to closing shot, and he bows out in terrific, soulful, style."
In his own five-star review, The Guardian's Peter Bradshaw described the film as an "epic barnstormer" which delivers "pathos, action, drama, camp comedy, heartbreak, macabre horror, and outrageously silly old-fashioned action".
You can't change everything at once. Either you make him black, or a woman, or a black woman, or a black woman in a wheelchair, or a black woman in a wheelchair with a wife and two ethnically different children (by her wife - who may or may not be a woman), or you change the plots. If you change everything at once it will fail dismally and lose a ton of money.
I remember when Bernie Ecclestone said he really wanted a black driver in F1, but he had to be REALLY good. Because he knew that if a mediocre black driver came in to the sport and he wasn't good then it wouldn't help matters at all. Same thing, if you're going to make Bond black (much preferable to making him a woman btw, just as Miss Marple should stay a woman) then it has to be a film so good that no one can criticize it. Which is gonna be tough given that if you change everything at once people will say 'it's not a Bond film'..
For me, no problem if they chose a black actor,.
But we must get ready for a homosssexual or bissexual 007 in the future, as long as the paradigm of what we consider a bold and desirable man (what 007 always intended to be ssen as) is changing. It can sound strange to millenials and olders, but not to youger people. Who was born in 2003 (AKA yesterday) is 18 now.
Superbly cool!! What are your impressions? I am particularly interested in your thoughts on the crystal which Adam finds too reflective?
Yes, but I don't see it as a deal breaker. Here's an Instagram story that shows this a bit.

"Story unavailable" :/ - would like to see if maybe an improvement has been made. Mine was a fairly early example since I received it a bit over a year ago now, wonder if they took feedback.
Even so, I find I also prefer the ceramic dial of the standard watch which is a whole lot of fun while the matte / drab colors of the NTTD didn't work as well IMO. Still, glad you're enjoying it 馃憤
