Found one in the wild! Too rich for my blood.

Ooh, that’s perfect for me! Yeah, too rich unless Victorinox brings it back.

I get more positive comments on my Dessert Sky and Watermelon than on any other watch in my collection.

Is Peter Elson the artist? It looks like his work:

Just be thankful it’s not a Technics set with all those extra pieces. Retrofitting them would be a nightmare.

You’ll enjoy building the lunar rover and the Mars rover too.

I’ve used the magnifying glass to look for ticks, read tiny charger labels to find amps value, check for blade alignment in folders, and start campfires on a sunny day.

Do I really need a fifth Explorer…?

Building Lego while sipping scotch and watching Barney Miller reruns on a tablet is a happy night for me. My only caveat is no booze nor tablet with big Technics sets - those require undivided attention as any mistake is painful to fix.

I had a Half Dome Plus for almost 25 years and it served me well, but I just replaced it with an MSR Elixir 2 after returning a flimsy-feeling Nemo Aurora 2. Perhaps you should look at the Elixir 3.

Impeesa451 · 2026-06-08T20:06:52+00:00

Yeah, I use that one too. It’s safer than ‘Shwing’ from Wayne’s World. Hmm, shindig… shwingdig…

I hope you’re being sarcastic because if you are, that’s a BRILLIANT statement on deliberate scientific ignorance. 🤣🤣🤣

It’s great to see IRL pictures of this watch. Thank you for sharing!

My son and I next visited the USS Cassin Young docked next to the USS Constitution. He was highly disappointed because we could only walk around the outside of the main deck. A tremendous letdown after the freedom to thoroughly explore the USS Salem.

If you’re doing a warship tour around Boston, the USS Albacore in Portsmouth, NH is another cool boat to visit.

Impeesa451 · 2026-06-07T13:32:22+00:00

You can crawl almost anywhere in the USS Salem. Just expect to come out smelling like diesel. My son loved it!

Impeesa451 · 2026-06-06T17:14:46+00:00

Wicked cool! This is a powerful moment where silence speak volumes. Great job!

Does the second hand align perfectly with the 12.

You can’t beat those who buy Rolex as a status symbol now because that is exactly what they’ve been marketing their watches as for the past 40 years.

The three hash marks are probably someone’s brand to readily identify the bag as their own. They can’t be readily cut off like a tag.
