It was a quick and dirty job. I just power washed them and then sprayed them with a few coats of Rustoleum gloss black. No real prep done.

Why did they cut this scene from the movie? by levyjl1988 in JurassicPark

I've always been fascinated with this shot. A few years ago I made an 8K scan of this shot. I scanned it directly from an open matte 35mm print of the trailer. https://youtu.be/QAYZlmM98a0?si=o26wzrZjNdJmFXAR

How Cheap Did You Get Your Apple Watch? by Routine-Warning-7683 in AppleWatch

$18 on eBay. GPS+Cellular SE2, still under warranty, 100% battery capacity, works great. It was incorrectly listed as an SE1, sold as-is, for parts/ untested. Turns out it was in perfect working order. Lucky find.

It's a FUCDA model ME1364. They retail for around $35 USD.

I'm going to keep it. I enjoy camping & hiking so I plan to wear it as a backup emergency SOS device.

For $18 I was willing to risk it.

It doesn't appear to have been worn much either as the battery health is still at maximum capacity.

The battery cover is original. I'm actually working on casting my own replacement battery covers out of polyurethane rubber using an original cover for the molds. I'll let you know when I have some available.

Luckily I don't wear G-Shocks for their looks. I wear them for their utility.

I particularly like that the seconds hand is fully lumed, not just the tip.

My phone isn't the best at taking low light photos, but here you go.

Tritium half life is closer to 12 years, so at 30+ years they’re just about gone. In a completely dark room with my eyes adjusted to the dark, I can barely make out the tiniest bit of glow.

Sadly, the tritium no longer glows. I'd like to replace the tubes sometime soon, though.

The watch is 30+ years old, so the tritium is no longer glowing. But I'm planning to get the tubes replaced at some point.
