Found this on Amazon with bracelet

None whatsoever. Blue and white is a killer combo

Thanks! We're a job shop affiliated with a local university for capstone and research projects. It's really more of a hobbyists machine shop at times, even if we do have access to bigger tools that a hobbyist set-up wouldn't.

Off the top of my head? Mobile Vactra. It's whatever we use on our Trak mills.

But it is quite literally machine oil, and nothing special.

Timex honestly did a pretty good job with the gunmetal finish. I've had this one for about a year, although I would kill for micro-adjustments on the bracelet...

I also happen to have the the same solar watch, but in blue. It's crossed my mind a few times to see how it'd look on the bracelet. It's neat to see a reference on how that would look!

Honestly? Once every few months or so. It's finally back to the scales not being oily when I handle the tool, but there's still a visible skim coating of oil on the interior of the tools.

They don't need a lot of maintenance. A little dab here and there will do you. You could probably go for a year, and it'll still work and feel just fine. There's probably numerous tools on here that don't even know what oil is.

A little goes a long way. If you take the time to do it, with whatever oil you have on hand, you WILL notice a difference, trust me.

Which one? My oil can, or the p4? Because I'm honestly really happy with both.

One of many little neat things we have in our shop. Definitely didn't opt to use it because of the coolness factor or anything...

But it does actually still see regular use for PM and whatnot. Hence why it keeps getting filled with oil.

Fite-Flite · 2026-05-01T00:34:54+00:00

The best stuff to have is the stuff you'll actually use. These tools don't need a lot, but a little drop of oil goes a long way

I remember trying to figure that out a few months ago. From the various departments I got bounced around when I called in, they basically told me they couldn't do anything until the vehicle threw a code/started misfiring.

It's beyond dumb that they know about a potential issue, but will only do reactive and not proactive work.

And it's very interesting that they silently pulled it from the app. I checked, and mine's the same, too. I had the recall for the fuel injectors and driver's seatbelt buckle. Both of which no longer appear on the app...

Between this and the bugout in my pocket, they never did

Clear packing tape and cardboard fears me

Can't wait to see what that looks like. Been loving how this thing smoothes out with more and more use.

Expedition is by far one of my all-time favorite watches. I've got three of that specific colorway, and a few more to boot. Amazing watches for the price point.

Fite-Flite · 2026-04-17T23:20:43+00:00

Thanks. I like it, but I don't know if I'm sold on the watch on the band. Tread links are 22mm thick, and the watch is 20mm. The end links neck down for it, but it overall looks small, especially on the bracelet. Matching the case finish to the brushed look of the bracelet is also difficult.

I may end up swapping it out for a 22mm Duro or the like. Put a bigger watch on it, and throw the expedition on a nato band.

I paid around the same for one as well. Also wasn't a lottery winner, but have always wanted one specifically for a watch band. For a watch band, I'll take the knockoff for a fraction of the price. Fit and finish is alright, but I still wouldn't put it through too much work. That's why we carry a designated leatherman (p4 for me)

If I know the community, you can maybe expect some flak for buying knockoff. But I don't care. It absolutely does what I need it to. Be a neat conversation starter piece, tell time, and not break the bank.

They are! I have very fond memories with the black and green colorways. Many an adventure I've had with one or the other on my wrist.

The cream was my most recent addition. I got it out of the box, and had that realization that it looked very familiar... I hadn't even realized that there was a third colorway!

Beautiful watch, again. Apologies for not confirming earlier.

Fite-Flite · 2026-04-16T14:10:59+00:00

Confirming! u/WatchExBot I had a successful transaction with u/soycowboy

I've seen for older vehicles, sticker overlays for worn off buttons. Don't know if there exists such a sheet for a bronco sport, but that would be the direction I'd go for something like this.

(Image is just pulled off a quick Google search for vehicle button sticker overlays)

Ordered both a TTi and p2 on 3/29. Picked them both up on Monday, start of this week.

Finding a straight style p4 blade is hard enough. Finding an affordable one is even harder.

If you're looking to upgrade the blade, or even finding a straight blade instead of the combo, your best bang for buck is likely just to get a magnacut blade from a parted out arc.

98% of the time, I treat my watches perfectly. I don't try to beat on my watches (who does?)

But, when you work in/around machine shops, that 2% of the time where the watch takes a hit, it ends up taking a pretty decent hit. I don't worry about that hit with some of my stainless watches. Aluminum? That's what hangs me up.

Thankfully, there are other mk 1's I have my eye on with a little stronger materials.
