If Seiko had affordable divers that were also accurate I would own one.

I guess "affordable" is relative, but my SBDX001 Marine Master is nearly quartz-accurate.

Saw a bug like this coming off the highway on my way home yesterday. "I want one of those" rang through my head. It would be fun to drop a modern Subaru engine in a Super Beetle. Horrible swap motor. They overheat like crazy in swap applications…. I’ve messed with several, including one in a 914 an...

Welcome!

For what it's worth, I think black coated watches look good with a little bit of wear.

Just occurred to me that my OM (that I bought new) is 18 years old. Time flies.

It's all-steel and looks sporty. I wouldn't mind being issued that Citation. Kind of reminds me of a Seiko 5 Sports I used to own.

200-m W/R, but it doesn't look like a screw-down crown. Looks too small.

Do you have different phone numbers for people calling you from west of the Rockies and from east of the Rockies?

Just kidding. Congrats on your engagement and your new place!

Property tax is the most egregious form of taxation. You never truly own your home and your land if you're forced to pay tax on it in perpetuity.

Glad to see Massive Two Shits is on the list. I could do with less traffic.

I hate to be a pedant, but shouldn't it be "FUCK 'EM"?

Disappointed in thread content based on title.

I'm going for the clicks!

Seiko always almost gets it right.

Does anyone know where I can find an Oyster-style bracelet with fitted end links for the Seiko SUG089 (4205-0143) Lady's/Boy's dive watch? My wife owned one that came on an Oyster-style bracelet. I bought it new from the Poor Man's Watch Forum shop (RIP), but I'm pretty sure the bracelet it shipped ...

You guys are too set in your ways. You gotta roll with the changes!

Mazdas are great! CX-5 is top of the list for a used car to get my daughter when she starts driving. Seriously considering a CX-90/CX-70 as our next family car (getting tired of paying for repairs on my BMWs).

That CX-90 looks sweet. I've always been a fan of inline-6s

I needed a new commuter now that I no longer have a police car. I found an extremely low mileage Mazda CX-5 Touring at the local Carmax. It’s no Cayenne, but it gets me back and forth in comfort. Congratulations! Of the Japanese brands, I think Mazda builds the most mechanically and aesthetically i...

Very cool. Did you visit Long Island Watch's booth?

Congratulations! That's a keeper. I always liked the "peanut butter cup" HRV on those.

I wish they used the monocoque case like the older ones. The price sucks. But cool watch.

The case reminds me of that GS Quartz diver you used to own. That was a great watch.

Welcome!

I think Long Island Watch makes bracelets for that model.

Not a bad looking watch but the hands are just wrong. Also, Sheffield isn't one of my favourite English cities so I wouldn't want to see 'Sheffield' every time I looked at it

Home of Time Factors, innit?

Apparently I need to track down Terry for a battery change…

Is that what he's calling it these days?

Why didn't I buy one of those years ago when they were readily available?

Very cool. It's in good hands. He brought my great-grandfather's Elgin back to life.

That's hilarious! This is my first time seeing Bosozoku-style Detroit iron.

Is that a '70 Marquis?
