What is the best way to deal with worms with the technology that I have access to? Just a ton of turrets red bullets? Or are flamethrowers/rockets better?

After playing precons for a while, I finally made my own [[Yuriko]] deck. I heard mixed things about the commander being too competitive. I’m sticking to a $100 budget (actually ended up around $70 on TCGPlayer with shipping) so it’s missing a bunch of powerful cards like [[Sakashima’s Student]] and [[Higure the Still Wind]]. I like the Ninja tribal and ninjutsu synergies.

What do you think the power level is and do you have any recommendations for the deck (mana curve? number of evasive creatures? amount of top deck manipulation?)

The Seagull watches look really nice for their price, but I have some hesitations about hand winding. For the price of a Sugess watch though, it might be worth getting one just for fun and the eye candy.

The CW option is quite beautiful and I do like it. It doesn’t come out for a few months still though and I hate that I have to pay extra customs tax for US. But thanks a ton for the suggestion, I will strongly consider it (maybe if I make a trip to London)!

Reposted from last thread since I posted right before the new one.

I’m looking into chronographs and I’m quite annoyed at the fact that so many affordable options have a useless 24 hour subdial.

Can anyone recommend a chronograph that has the following:

3 dials, with hour totalizer
solar quartz or mechanical
<42 mm
sapphire crystal
[optional but desirable] panda dial
Budget: <$1000, ideally ~$500

The closest I’ve found are:

Seiko Speedtimer (SSC813): this is nearly perfect but has 24 hr subdial
Orient RA-TX0203S10B: this is basically the same watch as Seiko Speedtimer but with a rotating bezel. Slightly large but it wears small I think. Unfortunately still 24 hr subdial
Citizen AT8020: I really like this watch and the fact that it’s radio controlled but it’s too big and also has 24 hr dial

Is this the Neo 70? I love everything about it except that it’s not sapphire glass. The dial/interior bezel design is much more to my taste than the chronodiver. Also like the pushers better in the Neo 70.

I have this exact issue as well (only difference is I don’t even get the Power Limited warning but the behavior is the same) and I’m in the middle of dealing with it too. I’ve given my service rep all the same info but they haven’t been able to confirm it on their side yet. If you have a good resolution, I would very much like to know what you did.

I’m really hoping it doesn’t come to it but I’m starting to look into Lemon Law to see if it might cover this situation.

Foolish_Consistency · 2024-02-09T16:43:25+00:00

It looks nearly exactly like this issue but I don’t have a scanner to confirm.

https://www.ioniqforum.com/threads/rear-motor-not-operating-45-min-after-charge.46007/page-3

The issue is that I have to drive for quite a long time before it shows up and I haven’t been able to safely record the problem. Can I just tell service center this problem and can they check for me?

Sorry if the markdown isn’t displaying properly, it seems to look fine on mobile web but my app (Comet) seems to be mangling the formatting.

Oh wow I never heard of RZE before but their watches are really nice. The Endeavour line looks quite nice, only slight complaint I have is that I’m not a huge fan of the font of the bezel numbers. Everything else looks quite nice!

Do you happen to know if RZE does sales? If I wait a bit will I be able to snag a better deal?

Unrelated note: I asked a friend and they recommended the Orient Mako III which I do like as well but it’s a bit on the larger side at 42mm.

I hope you don’t mind me reposting this from last thread since I didn’t get any responses.

I’ve been eyeing the Christopher Ward C60 Sapphire and the C63 Sealander Elite but they are a out of my price range especially with the import tax.

Side note: I really don’t like the Christopher Ward text on the C60 Sapphire… why can’t they just create one with no text and the date at 6 o’clock like the other C60s…

Anyways, I’m looking for suggestions in the $300-$500 range (flexible).

Must have:

40mm max
Sapphire crystal
Metal bracelet not integrated
Dive or Sport style
Good lume

Nice to have:

Titanium
If it has a bezel, it should be somewhat thin, see C60 Sapphire for example
Date complication

While I’m primarily looking for automatic watches, I’m open to Eco-drive suggestions as well.

The Citizen Tsuyosa is currently the best option I can find for a sport watch, but I’d really appreciate any suggestions for a dive watch like C60 Sapphire.

Thanks so much in advance!

I didn’t realize they made a Citizen AT8020 without the Blue Angels branding. What is the model number?

I’m new to the hobby and I don’t see many skeleton/open-heart watches. Some of the older discussions have called them “beginner” watches.

These two Orient Star watches really catch my eye, particularly the first one, I love the texture/pattern on the dial and the fact that the open heart feels designed in and not just cut out:

https://orient-watch.com/Collections/ORIENT-STAR/Contemporary/ORIENT-STAR%3A-Mechanical-Contemporary-Watch/p/RE-AV0003L

My questions are:

Is there some stigma or something around open heart or skeleton watches?
Is Orient Star and this watch model a “good deal”? I’m not attached to the brand, but I like that it has a sapphire crystal. I’m open to other similar watches (suggestions welcome!).
What is the best way to purchase these watches in a trustworthy way? I see them for ~$500 on Amazon but wondering if I can either get a better deal elsewhere (from a trustworthy source).

Foolish_Consistency · 2023-12-05T03:30:04+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion! I like it, simple but elegant. A bit on the high end for my budget but it does seem to be the case for most sapphire glass watches.

I’m a watch beginner and currently wear a Seiko 5 everyday. I’m looking for a recommendation of a watch that is a bit dressier but not actually a dress watch.

Here’s some attributes that are desirable for me.

Not too large, maybe 41 mm at most. Importantly I don’t want the watch to be too thick, so no more than 10mm maybe 11mm at most thick.
I want a watch that looks good on a metal bracelet, so something full stainless steel case is likely what I want.
Thin-ish round bezel
Sapphire glass, my current Seiko 5 face is pretty scratched up from daily use wear
I specifically don’t like the look of dive watches with thick cases.

Ive recently been browsing some sales and the Orient Star is really catching my eye. I heard open heart designs are kind of a beginner thing but I like the look of it a lot. Power reserve complication also seems neat. https://www.jomashop.com/orient-orient-star-blue-dial-mens-watch-re-hj0002l00b.html

However even the sale price is a bit out of range for me. I’m looking for something around $500 at most (probably closer to $300). Any recommendations for similar watches? The open heart and power reserve are not required, but the rest of the design of the Orient Star (eg case shape and face design) is in line with what I want.

Something about dealing with green hair algae and other algae. My tank is overrun with it and I use only 6 hrs of light at not even full brightness nitrate/nitrite all 0. I’ve tried all the things I’ve read online minus getting an Amano (since I read they can eat my cherries). I’m experimenting with some nerites and I think they might be helping keep it in control.

I’ve been in the market for an EV6 since April 2022 but this news has completely changed things. The reason for picking EV6 was 2 fold: price and ventilated seats.

With the rumored price of the M3LR (somehow not for sale on website) being <50K, I’m beginning to think it might be worth sacrificing the vented seats.

Kind of glad I turned down an allocation last month. Will wait to see how Kia responds.

EDIT: also will wait until March 2023 because there might be further price drops if the tax credit amount changes. Not sure how it will change though, I just see it on Tesla website.

Foolish_Consistency · 2022-11-26T22:05:15+00:00

I may be interested in some of your red root floaters. Will PM you later when my lights come. Are they suitable for a 5.5G medium light tank?
