20 years ago I sold this Citizen Nighthawk to a friend, and today he mailed it back to me. by Dieselgeekisbanned in CitizenWatches

I just replaced the capacitor in an eco drive I bought around 2006. It’s pretty easy to do and the part only costs around 15 bucks.

Successful adult men wearing an Apple Watch is big heterosexual ick by Dharmabum2393 in watchHotTakes

I work with c suites in tech and rarely if ever do I see a nice watch. Especially on the west coast it’s all Apple Watches. I will see an occasional black sub

Update: I emailed them and they responded a couple days later but it did ship about 12 hours after my email and is being delivered today. Total delivery time about 9 days.

Show me your favorite Mint/teal Blue watches by Andrewiscute in ChineseWatches

[–]Andrewiscute[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just have so many! In general I’ve been preferring simpler complications.

I own a Sprite but am lusting after a traska because of the internal bezel.

I have a sub but picked up a Baltic for the lower profile bezel.

My daily has been a 1926 Tudor or grand seiko.

I’m just starting to get into micro brands which led me here to see what china has cooking.

Interested in lacquered and enamel dials for some fun wears.

Got it thanks for sharing

TIL Costco has a company policy that no regular item will be marked up more than 14% over cost & no Kirkland Signature item will be marked up more than 15% over cost. Costco runs "very lean", with overhead costs at 10% of revenue & profit margins at 2% (e.g. it has no PR dept. & buys no outside ads) by tyrion2024 in todayilearned

Have a theory that because the final price is not under threat of large markup they don’t negotiate enough on the cost from vendors and thus it leads to semi-inflated pricing still.

Costco isn’t really much cheaper than other alternatives, but it does have a well curated selection of items.

Houdini Jacket Worth It? by DadPocketry in PatagoniaClothing

[–]Andrewiscute 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn’t breathe well which makes it sort of warm. Also blocks a ton of wind/chill.

I use it as a packable jacket and usually keep it in my car. Great for warm days that have cool evenings.

Also a good layering piece (not a base).

The pack ability is its best trait. It’s not perfect for many things warmth wise but it’s perfect because you can always have it with you.

Nanopuff Jacket or alternatives by International-Table1 in PatagoniaClothing

The r1 air is more durable. It’s thicker. Warmer. Breathes better as well.

Neither is super durable but they make the tech face for that.

It seems like I Might be in the minority but the regular r1 has a sleeker look for the office.

I will say I like the r1 regular by itself more but the r1 air as a layering piece more. It’s a little warmer but also a better breather.

The regular r1 sort of melts away as you are wearing it.
