    @scooter I’ve seen so many of the Blancpains on the aftermarket for too cheap, usually from China so I’m nervous about getting one. I’m def not paying $400. I didn’t even want to pay $260 for the Moonswatch.

      @Matt , i hear you. There is a line of battery powered fakes on the market, as well. I had parameters I stuck to. USA seller with shop stamped warranty card only.

        @Matt , speaking of the Moonswatch, I'm on the hunt for a Mission to Saturn, now...

              Was finally time for a new strap and bezel on my square. It used to make me laugh that guys on the watch blogs would say there G-Shock was on its fifth set of resins.. I’ve wore this GW-M5610 every working day on a roof for 9.5 years and only just wore through the strap keeper 😂
              I’ve had and still have much nicer watches but what a piece of kit a G-Shock is. And square and only square.

                My attempt at making a keeper for this was a resounding failure, so I bit the bullet....

                    Yep....No idea which. I bought it in Japan with Haraki's help, solar powered....

                        I reinstated mine as a travel watch with a strap to make it look less flash 🙂

                          @Bridger Old SKX Models are just lovely.

                          This mod is what got me interested in mechanical watches:

                              New Brew Metric Star…

                              Do you still have this and how have you liked it after having it for a minute? Been looking at the metric star and the metric retro dial. Saw yours and loved the look of it. Thank you for any insight

                                @ZackB I love these watches. I have 4 of them currently and I’m certain I’ll get more.

                                    A new automatic metric just dropped this week. Def worth a look.

                                      The old seikos in here inspired me to upload my favorite watch, ever. I picked this up a few years ago when my ancient turtle prove unsalvageble, and haven’t worn any other watch, since. Never had a citizen, before, but it’s been crazy reliable, and who knows how long it’s been kicking’

                                      The monocoque case is crazy comfortable.
