The Dive Watch Connection

My first vintage run was with Seiko. I had a handful of dime piece 6105’s. I’m talking all white lume and no hand oxidation. Those ran $500-$700 at the time. Now a great condition 6105 is $1500 +. I am sorry, but paying over $1000 for a 6105 is dumb. They are great looking but the movements are not...

Velvet Buzzsaw on Netflix. Great cast, mediocre movie.

True Detective season 3 has been incredible.
Watched the first episode of Russian Doll. Might do one more, but not sure.

Has anybody tried super lightweight boots like LEMS boulder boots ? https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190216/adfadc6918293089fe5acafcc65bf818.jpg Yep, they wore out in about 4 months. And I could feel every rock I stepped on. :crybaby: I wanted to love them. These zero drop style boots or shoes is...

Yep, tough crowd. I love DWC, but we really could be a bit more welcoming these days.

Bring A Trailer is like the Hodinkee of the car world. Driving prices up, up, and away, and making all of it a whole lot less fun in the process.

I'd be a buyer at that price. Try double, give or take.

$6k????

I heard rumors of > 4000 GBP. Hopefully less, but it won't be cheap.

I heard it's VERY pricey.

Chronissimo for me. Love that combo on mine.

Yep, I find it easy to get out (a little tougher to get back on though). Push spring bar in, and pull endlink straight out while spring bar still pushed in. This unseats the spring bar from the lug hole. Do the same thing on the other side, and you should be good.

They look cool. But I can't get past the fact that they stole Terry's shiznit concept.

Loving it so far. Great to hear him returning to his post-punk roots all these years later.

Just listened to it. Dinosaur Jr meets early REM. I mean that in a good way.

Alright, that did it. I'm going to sit down and listen to this album right now.

Will listen. He's a treasure. Big Husker Du fan (RIP Grant Hart).

Meh to the max.

Time to get into expensive sports cars

Love no date. The clean aesthetics trump having the date info for me.

I love the Intra-Matics, but I'd probably go for the panda variant. And that white dial field mechanical looks incredible, even though I have heard some bad things about that new movement.

That looks awesome. Should give you service, and look good doing it, for years to come.

So, I'm not sure if the Z199 is for me. I like that it is thin, and tapers, but the end link fit doesn't impress me. It almost looks like it's only 21mm. Here it is, next to the stock Seiko bracelet. https://i.imgur.com/lnDnP9K.jpg contact him mike. i think that isnt' right. Agree. Mine are nice an...

You still wear your Doxa 1200?

I do. Mostly on vacation and in the summer.

4 digits are too expensive now, and most 5 digits are quickly getting there. If you can find a nice 16600 for under $7K, I'd jump on it (some of you might know that I'm a big fan of that reference). Threads like this are tough. Really makes me wish I'd hung onto my 114060, 1665, and Tudor snowflake...

I have the feeling that whatever this is, is going to be a) very cool and b) something I need to own. We'll see if my BB58 quest gets superseded by the latest and greatest.

Can't wait for Basel.
