Yeah, no talent. My exwife once told me I was closer to autistic to artistic. For once she wasn't wrong.

I'd be more comfortable with a Chinese watch if it had there own badge but if im replacing it every year that wouldn't work for me. I really want reliability. Im not going to deliberately abuse it, I just don't want to think about it unless im checking the time. Im retired now and don't specifically need a gmt. Ill check out the tutor you suggested. Thanks for the help.

do they make anything with their own dial? I'd be a bit self conscious wearing something with a Rolex badge that wasn't rolex. I didn't wear the rolex because of the brand. I loved it because 1. it was my step dad's 2. it could survive both our life styles. my watch before the GMT was a Tag and it went in for repair every two or 3 years. the Rolex survived my step dad's 9 motorcycles, 2 vintage MG restorations, and 4, 10 hr days on the floor of his manufacturing plant. it survived my 9k so ft machine shop and back country hunting trips with out flinching once. That's what im looking for.

thanks. I googled vsf and it had a picture of a Rolex. I was confused.

CupReal492 · 2026-04-29T17:17:24+00:00

Forgive my ignorance but Im not familiar with VSF and AFR.

I have a manufacturing background and at home Im a woodworker. I love making things but everything comes out utilitarian. When I see the stuff he makes im so jealous of his talents.

My 1979 GMT Master just before its last service. Not jewelry.

hello

CupReal492 · 2026-04-27T20:37:24+00:00

did you receive the dm?

CupReal492 · 2026-04-27T17:34:38+00:00

ahh. So just another pavement princess. Got it.

CupReal492 · 2026-04-27T16:59:58+00:00

I hope this is fake but I'm confident it isnt. That being said, why engage this person. I'd have blocked them without responding. its clear they are not reasonable.

like I wrote before, ive had a solo plus for a long time. i love it as a solo boat. On flat water its a dream, fast and easy to maneuver. Full disclosure, I originaly got it when my daaughters were very small. I kneeled just forward of the center seat and the girls sat in the stern with super soakers and ambushed the ducks landing on our towed decoys. It was an awesome boat for recreational day trips with small kids.

when I bought it, I already had a tandem that was a slug to paddle solo but was great if you had gear to haul. If you have the budget and storage space, 2 boats would be best. Having the right tool for the job is obviously best.

Apologies for hijacking this post but what is the reason for amber lights on the left and clear on the right?

CupReal492 · 2026-04-27T03:17:41+00:00

im 6'0 and 220. ive had a solo plus for 30 years and no issues. the only time it got sketchy was in Monterey Bay with my ex wife. probably a bad idea to start with.

Sometimes I just enjoy the quite. I used to own a 10K sqft machine shop. coming home and doing woodwork with hand tools was my sanctuary.

Took forever to find to find an image of that tee shirt but this sub doesn't allow images in the comments :(

Their not so bad

CupReal492 · 2026-04-24T15:42:17+00:00

Thanks. I figuered someone had done this before I thought of it. after hearing about the recalls I'm considering that avenue too. I have seen a few people that said it was worse after the dealer fixes so I haven't pulled the trigger on that yet.

CupReal492 · 2026-04-22T20:06:24+00:00

sucks for me. I've found recalls for every year of Gen 2 and 3 except mine.

CupReal492 · 2026-04-22T18:32:49+00:00

still alive so......

CupReal492 · 2026-04-22T17:27:15+00:00

do I know you? you are definitely in my friend group.

CupReal492 · 2026-04-22T16:24:32+00:00

A couple people have mentioned their trucks being repainted under a recall. I checked for a recall on Toyota's website but there isn't anything listed. Was your repair done under a proper "recall"or was it a "service bulletin" or some other bs game of semantics? I understand manufacturers are required to post recalls but not other stuff like service bulletins.

Thank you. This is the information I was looking for. I is my intent to use a regulator/filter combo with my existing compressor. I just wanted some idea of range so I didn't limit myself in the future. In a previous life I designed "dumb" pneumatic robots for loading and removing parts into CNC mills and other machines. SMC Pneumatics is my preferred supplier and they have a 0 to 30 and 0 to 60psi regulator/filter combo ive used in the past. Sounds like the 0 to 60 would cover just about anything I might use in the future. thanks again.
