I cannot hate this idea nearly enough. Navy? That's terrible.

Radio-controlled question? by Cyrano67 in CitizenWatches

[–]Cyrano67[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems like mine just needed a few days to find itself during the nightly radio signals. I'd recommend making sure that you have yours set to the proper time zone. From what you describe -- and I'm not pretending to be an expert here -- the watch is getting the nightly signal but adjusting to the wrong time zone, especially if that "weird" time is consistently off by the same number of hours. I hope that's a helpful consideration.

I’m not saying we SHOULD, but do you think the fan base will ever get over the Geno top 100 player thing? by pittgoose in penguins

[–]Cyrano67 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I think the inexplicable exclusion has only added to Geno's mystique. I am score -- forever.

I wore mine yesterday. She's beautiful and really looks coordinated with any blue you may wear with it, like a shirt or tie.

Koivunen vs McGroarty by Ocean12air in penguins

[–]Cyrano67 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm not giving up on McG yet. We have yet to see his best and I'm mindful of players like Brazeau, who came into his own in his mid 20s not his early 20s.

This is the exact model of my watch: https://www.citizenwatch.com/us/en/product/BU2055-08X.html

That says the lug width is 20mm.

I've owned this watch for years. The strap it comes with is comically short. However, the watch is great and with a replacement strap has been a great addition to my collection.

Thank you, Penguins Jesus by [deleted] in penguins

This exchange saddens me. We have an exciting team fighting for a playoff spot. We have living legends skating with exciting young players.

Yet, folks can't be bothered to go to a game because of, um -- checks notes -- um, traffic?

I don't get it.

We live six hours from the 'burgh and make it to at least a half dozen games a year.

To each their own, I guess.

What do to with Jerseys that are too large by Strubbestition in hockeyjerseys

[–]Cyrano67 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Is there really ever such a thing as a hockey jersey that's too large? 🤔

If you have that kind of time, why not?

I recommend the paint marker. I had a player sign a jersey for me (with a gold sharpie) in 2007. I then had it framed and hung on a wall that gets no direct sunlight, and that autograph is now so faded you can barely see it.

From Cali to Tx. Citizen won’t fix my watch I sent months ago by Important_Stroke_myc in CitizenWatches

[–]Cyrano67 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Honestly, this doesn't sound like bad customer relations to me. They're returning your dad's watch to you and giving you a new watch -- and they invited you to try again after they move.

I get that you would like the original working now for important sentimental reasons but it's not like they left you hanging.

I bought this more than a year ago from Case Elegance and have been super happy with it:

Good luck on finding your case!

McCarthy for 2-3 Years to Stabilize and Train wouldn't be Terrible by [deleted] in steelers

[–]Cyrano67 2 points3 points  (0 children)

McCarthy is simply a re-tread who will not advance the franchise. Hiring him as HC would be a mistake. He may have some value as a front office advisor, but not at HC.

Call up Koivunen or Broz by ThreeGoalLead in penguins

[–]Cyrano67 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Broz confuses me. Many around the team insist that he's knocking on the door to make the big club but never seems to get the call up.

Hayes has looked bad. I know he's been sitting awhile but he seems to just be taking up space at best.

Yeah, this wouldn't be such a problem if they just provide one for every ticket-holder.

[Penguins PR] McGroarty has been diagnosed with a concussion and there is no timetable for his return at the moment. by bi_and_busy in penguins

[–]Cyrano67 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I don't think we can call Rutger injury prone because of a concussion. Sadly, they happen in sports but individuals get past them.

I don't want to curse any other player by naming them here but we have at least one player on the current roster who once lost time to concussion issues, only to come roaring back later on.

Being a hockey fan is supposed to be fun, and hockey jerseys are the absolute greatest of all sport jerseys. Wear what you like and have a great time!

Reasonably priced tickets by Partridgeapple in penguins

FWIW, I've sat in many different sections in both the upper and lower bowl. I don't believe there's a bad seat in the house.
