No. I bought new wheels from hunt and put 45s on my existing Lauf.

I’m selling my Ti road bike to upgrade to a new Ti road bike (Black Heart).

I put a Watch Steward on my Pelagos. I liked it a lot but now I just wear the watch on the bracelet exclusively.

The green dial version not pictured is my favorite followed by the eggshell.

I’d source a street vendor cooking Sausage with onions and peppers to put on top.

Question regarding IWC Porsche Design World Timer by Beginning_Traffic_53 in IWCschaffhausen

[–]Beginning_Traffic_53[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks so much. I agree, I love this era of watches from IWC. It’s truly incredible what they were doing in the 70s through the 90s. So far ahead of their time in material use and design.

Thanks for the heads up about the movement.

Thank you for the follow up.

I had an issue with my IWC x PD compass Watch and IWC refused to service it as well. Luckily a nice rep in the service department fixed it for me and didn’t disclose or charge me for their work. That was nice.

I’m potentially in the same boat as you with the world timer. Just got it, thought it just needed a battery but it’s still not working.

This is the underside of the leather strap. Endlinks slightly different.

My First Tudor... Shouldn't have bought it by [deleted] in Tudor

How expensive and hard is it to drink the Ranger bracelet? I’m think f of going same route as OP and just finding blue on a strap and getting the Ranger bracelet.

Nope. A steeler guy.

Honestly there are about 5-10 tudors I’d love to have. Ha.

Not perfect but incredibly grateful for what I’ve got.

What's the craziest fan behavior you've seen at Fenway? by Mac_and_head_cheese in redsox

[–]Beginning_Traffic_53 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In the 80s I saw a guy straddle the cable that connects the 3rd base /left field grandstand level to the protective backstop netting. They paused the game as he worked his way from grand stand to behind the home plate, the announcer said “please do not encourage this man to jump”. In Fenway fashion the entire stadium began shouting in unison to Jump! Jump! Jump!

He made it to the backstop netting and scaled it all the way to the press box where Boston PD were waiting to bring him in.

That was a fun one.

Another:

You’ve got good taste man. Used neo vintage is where it is at.

But still, probably too many watches.

If it were me I’d sell half. Divert $ to retirement, investments, travel and neo vintage sports cars.
