Peek-a-boo!

Been in Osaka for a few weeks, and made it in to see Kenta

Peekaboo! Quick drop-in from The Outback

I haven't been around here for quite a while, and my selfie skills have suffered as you can see...

But, I've been feeling good lately, which in turn has had me digging through the closet for things to help me (try to) look good as well. Luckily, I shit have a smörgåsbord of awesome Iron Heart gear to get'er done! Including these sexy corduroys that I recently purchased from the Osaka shop ( Big thanks to Kenta san! )

Pic is wonky, but it fits the weird inception of the outfit: Duck on Duck, and UnTucked in an Untucked!

Nordic Socks, "Sofia" (Because life is too short to wear boring socks)
Mephisto Match (not the prettiest, but they're best built and most comfortable sneaker I've ever owned... and they are repairable!)
Saddleback Leather, Doctor Duffle
Goodart HLYWD Brass Belt Loop Buddy

I'm a month late, but if @Kasi is still after watch suggestions, there's always the MoonSwatch.

Jupiter is on its way to me. I’ll post on Monday.

We're wrist twins! I've got the Jupiter also, as a gift from a friend.

Still trying to figure out which color NATO to go with. Have you done a strap swap on yours?

***Should have read through the rest of the thread.

I kinda dig the strap it comes with also, save the excessive writing/words. Fits perfectly with certain outfits or styles, but I'll definitely need a NATO for smoother and less "standing out" fashion days.

+1…. They're AWESOME. Point blank. Fit is exactly how I like it; snug, but not tight, and not too long. More colors are needed!

I should have gotten one of these ages ago…

Still my favorite vest… and fabric!

Wish I snagged a second vest before they sold out [emoji31][emoji31][emoji31]

Sorry for the poor fluorescent lighting…

Something interesting is going on with the copper and fabric of my 02DD. I wash the same as all of my IHV-02's, but this is the only one that seems to be affected.

@bryaneidins70:

Great answer you mind reader.

It was a "great idea", and we all know how those typically turn out…..

Likely, my disdain for the process and results is due to my less-than-stellar adherence to methods/protocol, and habitual corner cutting... because there are some great examples of DIY waxed jackets out there (Modern and vintage), but mine DID NOT turn out like that, lol! I ended up, after HOURS spent waxing over 2-3 days, just putting it in the clothes dryer on HIGH and melting out the wax. It was splotchy/patchy, greasy, and it held on to dog hair and lint more than a wool sweater, which particularly sucks, because it's lined with alpaca.....

Geez Louise... I missed out on those jeans. Searching the store now, and my size/cut combo is nowhere to be seen. It looks GORGEOUS.

But back on the topic of less intimidating watches, I'm thinking to re-buy a brass Maranez Talay. I sold mine to @sabergirl several years ago, and I really miss it

They look about as bad as they’re always been mate.

On the other hand, you look as glorious as ever, not least with that beard.

Great to see you, hope you and the fam are well.

All is well, and the family is well. It's Maddy's birthday, actually. And we will soon have all 3 kids graduated from high school. Twins a full year early, and baby girl will be graduated at 15yrs old! Time is flying by Bro!

@bryaneidins70:

Who was it that was waxing an N1 deck jacket a while back?

was it @UnTucked ?

Don't do it

After some talking with Giles, we thought it would be a good idea to create a thread for beginners to the watch collecting hobby (Like myself), and those who are just curious and want to learn more about watches in general.

There is already an AMAZING watch thread here, but it is definitely an overwhelming place for a beginner that's barely dipped their toes in the shallow end of the pool.

I hope this thread to be a place where those of us who are just getting in to the hobby to ask questions, share information and tips, and grow our knowledge and collections from Timex and Seiko, on up to Rolex (And beyond).

Enjoy!

Crazy guy checking in…

I machine washed and dried an N-1 jacket a couple of years back... There was some slight shrinkage, but alas I didn't take measurements. I assume that could be avoided if washing on cold and line drying though.

I've not had any issues with the alpaca shedding after the wash/dry, aside from the typical amount it sheds anyway even when new.

@jerkules thanks!
