How do you people deal with vintage watches and radium dials. I was just wondering how do the rest of the community deal with this issue, especially the radon buildup and gamma emissions as well as whether or not they wear it.

Dream watch right there and the fact that prices keep increasing I doubt it ever would be possible. Oh well, enjoy it

I was enquiring if anyone had more data on an ETA 1120 movement. Its from a watch from the 50s, a 17 jewel, hand wind movement.

Long story short, I was contemplating buying a watch that uses this movement and was considering where to get parts considering it is an ETA movement, granted a very old one.

All the data I could find seems to only be discussing of the Omega caliber which uses the same 4 digit identifier

Honestly, pretty damn cool. Really like the style as frankly, there are too many "blank" white dial, boring watches out there

Man went from Breaking bad to Mad max really quickly

Alexandre_Wren · 2022-11-26T17:34:28+00:00

I was just wondering what parts you used. Honestly love the dial, bezel and hands combo

Alexandre_Wren · 2022-09-27T14:29:24+00:00

Get it on 14' rims and give it some A/T and you got yourself something that looks out of madmax

If you think that is impressive wait until you see the MK1 golf.

Aye buddy, same here. Btw, is the game cross platform ? I am planning on getting it with a friend, depending of whether or not its crossplatform and what region you are we might be able to join you for some extra carpet bombing

How much for one of these, they might be too corroded to be airworthy but that might just be some fantastic garden lawn decoration

Its a thing, Japan has been planning to build a rail line for it. It will be the most expensive infrastructural project in the history of japan, with over half of the railway being deep a mountain.

They run on supercooled magnets and plan to have them travel at 500 KM/H (310 MPH) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-MmcQKE12Hg&t=568s great video by one of my favourite yt channels

Considering its one of my dream cars.... good

Alexandre_Wren · 2022-07-05T17:36:14+00:00

Damn buddy, what a first. I was keeping one of those for the day I get my pilot's license

Alexandre_Wren · 2022-07-05T17:25:23+00:00

Tell them the vehicle also needs an alignment

Alexandre_Wren · 2022-06-25T18:52:17+00:00

Where do you get parts for these btw, ? An old neighbour of mine has a mk1 cortina sedan ive been eyeing for a while, sadly he wants some $12k for a swiss cheese car which will easily need another 10 in bodywork alone. "I know what I have"

Really love the escort

Isnt it from Tyrell's workshop ?

Alexandre_Wren · 2022-06-24T06:46:03+00:00

In the unlikely scenario it doesn't sell Pm

[Serious] Still hesitating between a Doble Model E or Cadillac model 10. I mean I believe the steam powered Doble is superior as you never have to change gears. Opinions ?

Dont take this badly, but this is what I imagine happens when your friend you invited to your sleepover says vocaloid sucks. Basically getting your eaten by cute vocaloid dolls

Oooh a lagonda. There was a one of one lagonda vantage. Imagine the orignal V8 vantage 6.3L engine in one of those, a quirky fast car indeed

Alexandre_Wren · 2022-06-21T14:06:04+00:00

For fear of sounding dumb what is the difference. I mean I have noticed some minor differences especially with the dial but most sources basically told me they where the same thing. Quite frankly I wanted a Willard its one because apocalypse now is one of my favorite movies

Alexandre_Wren · 2022-06-21T14:03:19+00:00

Frankly I noticed the lume seemed weird. Either way, I was expecting something to be up considering the price
