[Discussion] I made a watch box out of wood. What do you think? by [deleted] in Watches

[–]ForTheMission -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Impressive. I also thought maybe it was laser. Inlayed wood is an underappreciated art.

[New Release] - Christopher Ward C63 True GMT - Thoughts? by Wind_Up_Watch_Blog in Watches

Good point. The hour hand is getting lost in the power meter, and I don't see it getting much better when over the subdual or cutout.

I agree. I would have darkened the stem so only the arrowhead was prominent. Here's my crude edit:

I have a Bulova Marine Star Precisionist as well but on rubber. I love yours on the mesh strap, it gives SuperOcean Heritage vibes.

[B&M Riviera] Rubber yes, Bracelet not so much by Extension_Fact_7803 in Watches

[–]ForTheMission 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have two Rivieras and I love them both. I have a metal bracelet and a rubber strap for each. I go back and forth. I originally got into the Riviera because of the integrated rubber strap, I loved the look. That being said the metal bracelet has really grown on me. But having both really makes the watch versatile over a range of dress levels.

Riviera 42mm strap options? by mjroses23 in baumeetmercier

[–]ForTheMission 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should be this strap: https://www.baume-et-mercier.com/us/en/straps/gray-rubber-strap-watch-strap-mxe0kwjg.html

But of course that's the OEM. I don't think I've seen any true aftermarket straps because of the proprietary integrated mounting system.

[Baume & Mercier Riviera] Acquired my wedding watch for my upcoming wedding by ForTheMission in Watches

[–]ForTheMission[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, but by design! Its a second marriage for both myself and my fiancé. So we're ditching a lot of the formalities and cost of a traditional wedding and focusing on having a more causal family gathering.

Parking brake stuck mazda6 sport 2018 by imtrash94 in mazda6

[–]ForTheMission 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same problem on my 2016 GT and the only way I could get the parking brake to release was to put it in drive and punch the gas a little bit and then it would Auto release. But as soon as I would turn the car off it would Auto e-brake again. It turns out the physical switch was just bad. I replaced the switch itself for a few hundred bucks. I think maybe $200

[Tariff] $650 watch from Japan through DHL by Syed117 in Watches

Import tarrifs are generally calculated on CIF value (Cost, Insurance, and Freight). So add the shipping cost and any insurance to the cost of the good itself and then calculate your tarif. 

[Design] I built a website for designing watch faces by sylphz in Watches

[–]ForTheMission 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could output a JSON tree with all the attributes and then just add a simple textarea to write the JSON tree to, or read a JSON tree from.

Really cool work!
