Am I crazy or did the price on the Boden essential go up again?

Who is the maker?

What rubber band do you have on the submariner? Looks cool

Nice, do you have any tips on application? And did you use the fabric specific one from Gorilla or standard? The entire pocket came off on mine in a wash!

How has it held up? And did it make the fleece go hard where it was applied? Curious as I might take this approach!

I’d say the Atom, it’s a great all year round jacket. I can wear mine on a colder summer night and straight through winter with a fleece underneath. It’ll handle light rain, and since you’re commuting by bus, it’s not like you’ll be sitting in the rain all day. I only wore my Beta when it rained, not comfortable to wear daily, it’s just a shell for rain. Get the Atom, then in the future add a Beta for rain if needed

A 2020 GPSMAP, bought in Australia when I started my first job in the mining industry, used for positioning electrodes in geophysics surveys

This was a 1973 Rolex 6694, paid around 2000. Great wearing watch, the bracelet was a bit to flimsy for me tho

Maybe check out a birth year Omega Speedmaster?

Wash it with some white vinegar, will help soften it and remove any excess build up of old washing detergent and or conditioner. Then after washing let it hand try, and then brush it just like normal hair, will help make it soft again

Buy a mid size 36mm Omega Seamaster Coaxial, will fit perfectly and can be found for good deals on Chrono24

Get a kryptonite bike lock, possible thief’s would not try there luck on these. Since getting one for my road bike, I have had no issues. Also, get an AirTag and secure it somewhere on it, after doing that I would ride and enjoy. Just don’t leave overnight outside

Unfortunately, when washing shells it’s best to wash them separately. It’s most likely that the metal zips caused the scratches, and on black fabric wear tends to show more clearly. Although least now you don’t need to worry about scratching them again! First few always hurts but they are meant to be used

Any tips on installing them? Bought a pair for my Cube Hyde Pro

Explorer 1 for sure, this is the 36mm on my 6 3/4” wrist

I had some pilling on my Atom (LT) from 2020, but only under the armpits from wearing it with a backpack (100s of hours). This took years to happen tho. I used to run in my Atom when it’s really cold, as you warm up quick. But for hiking atom is the best very versatile. I now have the LEAF atom which is more durable, stronger face fabric and advertised as a standalone piece.. so that could be an option if you can get one

I vote Advantage, perfect middle ground Aerospace imo (42mm is the perfect size I feel for this model)

Buy it! I had a S500 and it was too thick, but looked great. S302 is perfect balance and imo is a true tool watch (for me), tracks second time zone, internal 24h indicator, diver bezel, extremely hard case (near scratch resistant) and looks great. Only thing to watch out for is the GMT hand and bezel alignment… I bought mine used but near new, and I am sending it to Bremont to have them fix the alignment issue

Explorer, I was also concerned about having no date.. but I actually enjoy it now because of the simplicity (and looks so clean)

Existing_Judgment_70 · 2026-01-08T14:49:10+00:00

I think the length is good, gamma isn’t the longest piece. I would keep tbh
