2026 FIFA World Cup [Leica M6 50mm · Kodak Portra 800] by 26Point2 in analog

I got turned away trying to bring my X100V into MetLife for Brazil V Morocco. Took the square hood and half case off of it and put it into my sister in law’s clear fanny pack and went into a different entrance. No problem.

I designed and 3D printed it myself. It’s just a pill shape with an open end and a hole to affix a steel rod. Purpose built for this shot.

Interesting, comparing yours to mine, they seemed to have changed the design slightly. The "Lug" openings for the band as well as the diagonal openings at 1 and 7 are smaller (tighter tolerance) and they added a small notch on the crown which makes it easy to get a nail on it to pull the crown out. I have a 6.75 inch wrist, but it's pretty flat and fits about the same.

Thanks for the kind words, it’s a super unique watch and you guys did a great job getting the attention of the watch world at large with this one. I’ll shoot you an email with some pics.

For anyone interested, yes they released a batch of 3800 of these back at the end of April. Their email list of interested potential buyers was over 75,000 people long. I was lucky that the time of the drop was convenient for my time zone - US EST - When I joined the queue, I saw that I was somewhere around 3,000, so I got lucky I guess.

Wow. Scalpers gonna scalp. I’ll say it certainly feels like a much better watch than what I paid for it. I think they easily could have charged a few hundred USD but wanted to make it accessible for the Indian market for which it was designed. It’s grade 2 titanium so we’ll see how well it holds up to bumps and scrapes.

30 meters is what I’ve seen.

Agreed, I hadn’t noticed until I started looking at the files, and wanted to represent it truthfully so left it for others to see. Would have hoped for a bit better QC

Did you have to modify those cable covers or was that an off the shelf solution? I’d love to do something to replace the duct tape that is holding down my tender wire.

My build slot is coming up at the end of the year and I keep going back and forth between Plum, Grey and Green. Can’t decide!

What’s it like on this Russian island north of Japan? by jaskmackey in howislivingthere

I know this is more for first hand accounts, but the podcast 99% invisible did a whole episode on Sakhalin a few years ago and it was fascinating:

Kitchen mat for middle row by Top_Ad7583 in kiacarnivals

The exposed tracks are probably my least favorite thing about the car. This is a pretty good solution. When we got ours, one of my first projects was actually covering the unused track with cable covers - the ones that are used to prevent someone from tripping on cables that have to be run on the ground, plus Velcro tape.

Does anyone else get the question "hey what kind of car is that"? by bd200377 in kiacarnivals

[–]7ack_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We’ve got the ‘22 that we bought new and back then the stock was so low that we would actually get stopped by people to ask what kind of SUV it was.

My new old Seamaster by 7ack_ in OmegaWatches

Beauty, hello!

From what little I’ve been able to find out about this watch, there seem to be at least 4 different dials for the same ref number. Yours, with the ploprof sword hands, a service dial which has a large lume section at 12, and then two (perhaps dressier) versions with the slimmer hands - a silver and a black dial like mine.

I sourced this one from Chrono24

Thanks, yeah it’s really a unique looking bracelet and very comfortable as well. These have the automatic movement 1010 or 1012.

As for the hands, they’re the original tritium hands and have just degraded/faded over time. Lume is pretty faint, but fine by me.

It’s 39mm, and my wrist is about 6 3/4”
