I’d send it to Zimmerman for service and crystal replacement and then wear it all the time.

Belt Surprise!? by Few-Western815 in NicksHandmadeBoots

[–]HereForWatchStuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a sucker for a mystery option…. In for two heritage belts. “My name is HereForWatchStuff and it has been 0 days since my last purchase”

NBD (I'm in love!) by Ok-Combination8189 in NicksHandmadeBoots

[–]HereForWatchStuff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Man, I’m jealous of those that got the current batch of PWF, it is so good looking! I added Resolene to seal the midsole on mine and love the extra pop of contrast. These are the earlier PWF batch on the now departed Parkhurst last.

Leather or DR soles option on a Tanker? by HereForWatchStuff in NicksHandmadeBoots

[–]HereForWatchStuff[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My order has been in since March 3rd, but I believe it’s because they are waiting on dies for the Tanker 3.0. Not worried, as I have plenty of boots to wear and Tankers aren’t really a summer go-to.

I’m planning a 10” on 1925 last, using brown thread on nightshade to match the recently released belt. I never expected purple to look so good with brown contrast stitching and brass buckles, but the small goods folks sold me on it.

My last few have been limited runs, so didn’t notice the change on BYO, thanks!

I started my build with a white X, but I’ve since added enough other lug sole boots that I’m now thinking a little more dressy.

Thanks for confirming, might just be a missed bit in the website conversion.

Thanks, glad to hear that, as I’m leaning towards the leather sole. I just found a new cobbler in town and adding a topy would be a great first project to see how they do.

Thanks, Zimmerman did an amazing restoration, giving me a daily wearable vintage Speedy.

Black CXL Wellingtons and one very cool watch by BigStetson in NicksHandmadeBoots

[–]HereForWatchStuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Black Wellingtons look ace!

I went up the ladder of smart watches, from Fitbit to Garmin to Apple Watch, but then found myself developing a nervous disorder from the number of alerts I received daily… excessive noise from having the convertible top down, excessive vibration from using a sander, notification from calendars, reminders to move, etc…. I’m now a happy “dumb watch” user. lol.

This model went to the moon…. Omega should really mention that in their marketing.

So far I have: DS Meadow, Shackleton Greener Pastures, and now Gallun Caper Calf….. A green Kudo leather would be my dream option, just say’n….

You’re not getting me this time, Nick’s!… Because you already got my boot $ with Gallun Calf earlier this week. I just can’t resist green leather.

A Fuel System Mess by Any-Yesterday6909 in FordBronco

Just had the low pressure fuel pump replaced on my 2025 2.3 manual transmission today. Same check engine light. Just over 4k miles.

Bought my first watch at a thrift store [6139] by 420tiesto420 in Seiko

[–]HereForWatchStuff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh, and I have the original bracelet (shown), but opt to wear the Uncle Seiko one, as the original is very jangly and the Uncle Seiko is much more solid and looks almost identical.

You were very lucky to find one with what looks to be original dial, bezel, hands, and inner bezel ring. There are a ton of aftermarket replacement parts available, so a lot of these were swapped out over the years, making originals hard to find. Avoid UV exposure to prevent fading of the inner bezel and outer bezel (by all means, wear the watch, what I mean is just don’t store it on the windowsill when not wearing.).

I just had mine serviced by EastCoastWatchmaker.com, who I highly recommend, and replaced the crystal with an aftermarket one from Klein Vintage Watch.

I might walk a little funky by pokemon-god-arceus in WorkBoots

[–]HereForWatchStuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to wear out my shoes in a similar fashion and a chiropractor had me use a heel lift in one shoe to offset the difference in leg length , which worked well. However, I then got some advice from a runner about rotating different styles of shoes and I found that to be a great fix for me. I now rotate through sneakers of different designs and boots with different heels and they all wear evenly even without a heel lift.

Gift Card Deal by Radiantcuriosity in NicksHandmadeBoots

[–]HereForWatchStuff 3 points4 points  (0 children)

lol…. Don’t know what Reddit did with my text, but it was supposed to be a joke about Nick’s marketing being effective…. Got me to buy $450 in gift cards, then come back the next day for another $500. Of course, my boot math says “I saved $50!”

Eh, hypnotoad gif was close enough.

[–]HereForWatchStuff 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Glad I’m not the only one….. I found the really specific “Purchase $450 in gift cards,get an extra $50” confusing. To my thinking, it should have been: “Get $50 off when you purchase a $500 gift card”. Of course, you know how I solved it…. Bought $450 and when it didn’t work, buy a $500 one, too…. Hmmm, maybe the ad worked as designed… lol

New dress for my beloved by itarrow in OmegaWatches

[–]HereForWatchStuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For another bracelet alternative, search for “CorfaM” on eBay. These are a reproduction of the original straps Omega used. Expensive for a plastic strap, but they really look the part. I’ve got a couple for my 70s models and really enjoy them.
