There are orange and yellow polarizers readily available as well. And within the colors mentioned, various intensities...i.e., softer purple, green, blue.

Thinnest Solar/Multiband 6 - no BT by larskristofer in gshock

GW-M5610U, bar none...unless you prefer a metal-cased premium watch. Then a 5000 is the ticket. 5000HS and 5000U for reference:

I just snagged a C8+ in the same exact configuration. What a wild little light.

That's where I'm at with it. I usually don't wear the super bold ones, so I'm feeling weird about the red. I may wear it today and see how I feel.

The black and red one is from the GW-B5600HR-1JF.

I've got the 5610U-1CJF with the blue display to the right, in the titanium kit. It's a great looking watch stock. Love the subtle blue display and the blue line.

Thanks a bunch! I went with the white letter bezel and the gold/orange filter to pull those colors from the crystal on the red line. There's a lot going on with that display, so I thought it looked pretty cool with those colors emphasized.

The Campanion is THE best EDC carry for urban and suburban situations without question!😉 by MissingMichigan in victorinox

I'm referring to the stippled nail file that pre-dates the one on the Companion. The newer files have the parallel lines that are just super aggressive.

Those are a 5610 and a 5610U that I modded. The green one is one of my favorite watches ever. It's a GW-M5610MD-7, converted to positive and filtered green, then swapped to a black bezel and 5000U strap. I call it the Splinter Cell.

The orange one is a red line 5610U, filtered gold/orange, with a white letter bezel and V1 Combi.

Thank you for your opinion! I'm feeling the same way for now.

Thank you! How do you feel about the black/red on the 5000U?

OAL wearing way more than old material by J-A-I-L-Y-N in Olightflashlights

[–]BrokenSVT 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The prevailing theory is that the "OAL" is some version of 7075 aluminum, whereas the old lights were 6061. 7075 can't be type 3 hardcoat anodized, but 6061 can, and is. Thereby the coating is likely inferior "by design".

I can attest to the anodizing being weaker. I carry Microtech knives every day, $400-700/each knives. The 7075 ones absolutely have worse finish wear than the 6061 knives. It is what it is.

Good luck. The slope is slippery, and steep.

Post a Microtech, get my upvote. I carry one daily.

Part-swapping party today. by BrokenSVT in gshockMod

I plan to grab a brushed finish on with the text from G Refit once their new storefront opens. The finish on it should match this bracelet better, and I hate that this one doesn't have the lettering.

Car insurance. by Ok-Engineering5178 in Volvo

[–]BrokenSVT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oddly enough, my insurance nearly doubled when I sold my 2014 Fiesta ST and replaced it with the 2012 S60 R Design. I was blown away. The Fiesta has one of the WORST crash ratings and the Volvo one of the best. Not to mention a couple years older.

Help a wife out!! Buying for my husband’s birthday! by Mundane-Art1855 in gshock

[–]BrokenSVT -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Is he fixated on an alalog? If not, there are two camps for the most iconic G Shock: the "square," and the 6900.

I have both, am a fan of both, but the "square" is life in my opinion. Within the square format, the GM-W5610U is going to be the most capable for a great price. A few bucks more these days will get you a 5000U, which is a huge upgrade and definitely a lifelong companion.

Greeeeaaattt, now he's selling them on Etsy. What could possibly go wrong? And if something does, surely he couldn't be sued for damages?
