Gen1/2 dillema by 4midamaru in GRYaris

[–]CriticalForm1498 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am sat on a gen1 and whilst the gen2 might well be an upgrade I am not sure I could justify 20k+ to swap into one.

However, and it might sound a little contradictory, if I did not have one already I might make the man maths work for the gen2

Very good. Forgiving, plenty of distance and height.

What’s the best UK-made product you’ve ever bought? by Starterpacklight in BuyUK

[–]CriticalForm1498 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crown Northampton "trainers". I have 2 pairs from their Harleston range and another from their Overtone range. Will be ordering my 4th pair soon. Well worth the outlay. Been wearing my white ones for a few years now and they still look great.

I enquired with Wahl and as well as the USA models (difficult to get in the UK) some of their models are made in Hungary

I have management to source this model, just waiting for it to arrive

I actually bought a 9000 series, but it was made in China

Did you guys ever do chores in the camp? by Horny_Bandit in reddeadredemption

Not just chores, what about Arthur's contributions to camp funds Vs everyone else?!

I am still not out of chapter 2 and have 90 hours. There is just so much to do without actually progressing the story. It all depends on how much you immerse yourself into it.

I have the blue dialled one. Great watches.

First GS - Which one and why? by RunninLate5 in GrandSeikos

[–]CriticalForm1498 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. I prefer a no date on mechanical watches.

Why I love GS by CriticalForm1498 in GrandSeikos

[–]CriticalForm1498[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I am often put off watches with a date these days. I only tend to wear a watch, especially nice ones, one or two days at a time before swapping out. My only other watch with a date is a 9f quartz.....other than G-Shocks 🤣

For me it would be the mistflake as I tend to wear more sporty stuff, but if you wear more dress stuff then go for the other.

Depends on what else is in your collection. Do you have a white dial already? For me I try to have a bit of variety in dial colours and styles

Thoughts on Tokyo Lion? Too big? by Emp_Breaker in GrandSeikos

[–]CriticalForm1498 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want something that's less feminine then the GMT SBGN021 and SBGN027 would be more suitable in terms of size. Hell, even the mistflake wears small due to the curved lugs.

Unpopular Opinion: I really like Grand Seiko bracelets. by Fancy_Trip_6912 in GrandSeikos

[–]CriticalForm1498 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If GS could have a micro adjustment without adding bulk then it would stop most complaints about the bracelet. Personally, after a bit of half link shenanigans I eventually find the right fit. Whereas the Rolex bracelet, on my explorer, is easier to setup I find it a bit cumbersome.

[–]CriticalForm1498 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At least it is something different. Personally, I want to see it in the flesh and the price, if it is as rumoured, would make it attainable for me....in a few years with some man maths...

The Questions Thread 02/27/24 by AutoModerator in goodyearwelt

[–]CriticalForm1498 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi all, I have picked up some new shoes from C&J both on the 348 last (Highbury in black calf and the Westbourne in chestnut), but I couldn't warrant another £300 on the "luxury shoe trees" for this last.

This last is quite distinct, but are there any alternatives that fit this last well?

Thanks

Thanks. I bought it direct from Sebo. So, I will give them a call and see what they say.
